Question

When using Xcode’s Analyze tool I receive the following memory leak warning for this UITableView allocation –

Object leaked: allocated object is not referenced later in this execution path and has a retain count of +1

self.contentTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 300) style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];  
self.contentTableView.delegate = self;
self.contentTableView.dataSource = self;
self.contentTableView.scrollEnabled = NO;
self.contentTableView.backgroundColor = [AppDelegate appMainColor];
self.contentTableView.separatorColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.contentTableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine;
[self.view addSubview:self.contentTableView];

Anyone has encountered this warning? solution?

Thanks!

Ok, this a guess. I havent worked on legacy targets for a long while. I have been deploying on the later targets. But you can either use the autorelease or manually release the UITableView. Something like this may work,

self.contentTableView = [[[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 300) style:UITableViewStyleGrouped] autorelease];

OR if you are using a property, then release inside your dealloc method,

[tableView release];

NOTE: I havent worked with non-ARC environment for a long time and my syntax might (most likely) be wrong and you have to work out syntax issues.
