Question

I put a function in viewWillAppear in my view controller so that it runs every time the view is loaded:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [self initBasicSettings];
}

However, the function initBasicSettings is run every time a modal alert box (UIAlertView) is closed as well, which I do not want.

How do I make a function run when a view loads but not when an alert box closes? If these two events cannot be made disparate, I feel that it is not orthogonal design.

Answer 1

Assuming this is not a joke question. This method stub is inserted in new UIViewController subclasses by default.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
}
