Question

I want to have a custom initWithNibName, basically passing in another NSString as a type to determine some logic inside this UIViewController based on the type. So I set is as follows:

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil andFeedType:(NSString *)feedType
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

Does this even make sense? As I don’t see this type of init’s quite often. If not then what is the best way to do this?

It makes perfectly sense to me. This is the way you would override an initializer to add some custom initialization in Objective-C. What do you think is wrong with it ?
