Objective-C: Point of releasing a View

Question

Hello

I made a static mainmenu with a TableView. Sometimes it crashes because my Subview has allready deallocated a subview.

Is also ok to release a View in the dealloc mehtod of the local object instead of that:

[NavController pushViewController:self.AnotherView animated:YES];
[self.AnotherView release]; //This line into (void)viewDidLoad

AnotherView is defined in the headerfile as property and also synchronozed in the .m-File

When i use the dealloc way it works great on the device, but I need to know if this is correct.

cheers Simon

Answer 1

You only call release for objects you init or alloc yourself. If it is a property of your class then release in the dealloc of your class.

So in your case, unless you init anotherView a few lines above your sample code (same method), calling release on it where you are is going to cause a leak/SIG_ABORT because you have done so prematurely.

Feel free to post more code, particularly how anotherView is assigned and you may get a more specific answer.
