Question

When I scroll my table view fast (with a long and quick gesture) so it will scroll for a few seconds more on screen displaying my cells (let’s say 3-4 seconds) – and so very quickly I hit the back button to go back to the previous screen: it works… BUT then the scrolling would have come to a stop (on the screen that I cannot see anymore – so 3-4 seconds later): the app crashes! and that each time I do that “fancy” crash test.

I used my own table view cells – and I am a bit out of ideas of where to start to fond that bug. I can only think that the previous view tries to “release” something that obviously is not displayed anymore.

Has any of you experienced this? or have you tried on your own apps that “test” to ensure it will not crash like mine?

any pointer of help is of course highly appreciated!

Thanks

Cheers,

EDIT1: thanks to your answers – I finally saw that this behavior happens if you put my removeallobjects like I was doing in the viewwilldisappear instead of viewDidDisappear method… all good now

Answer 1

The cause of this would appear to be that your UITableView is living longer than its datasource or delegate – are you sure its not leaking?

In the dealloc method for your datasource / delegate you should set

tableView.delegate = nil;
tableView.dataSource = nil;
