calling [myString release] does NOT decrement [myString retainCount]

I am in very big problem please help me to solve the same.

I am creating a view in custom way as

   UIView *view = [self getCustomVIew:index];
   [view release];
   view = nil;

In getCustomVIew:index, I am allocating and returning the view. When I release view as

   [view release];

it is not releasing the view from getCustomView:index and the reference count is not decremented.

Please help me to release the view returned from getCustomVIew:index and to maintain the memory size.

Instruments is just increasing the overall size of program when the views get deleted.

Answer 1

You don’t need to release view from that getCustomVIew method. Returned view from should be already marked as autorelease

-(UIView*) customView{
    UIView *v = [[UIView alloc] init];
    ...
    return [v autorelease];
}
