Completely Removing Views from memory

Question

I have a view which is slideshow settings, and another view which has a slideshow. Unfortunately, these views conflict because they are still in memory.

As far as I know, viewDidUnload and dealloc are only called in low-memory situations, and dealloc should not be called directly, so how do I completely remove a view. These views are within uinavigationcontrollers by the way.

Answer 1

If you've added a view with UINavigationController remove it with PopViewController.

Pseudocode:

UIView *newView = [[UIView alloc] init]; // retain = 1 
[UINavigationController pushView: newView]; // retain = 2 
[newView release]; //retain = 1

[UINavigationController popView]; //retain = 0, object will get destroyed
