Is it wise to "nest" UIViewControllers inside other UIViewControllers like you would UIViews?

I've got a fairly complex view, for me anyway, that has a few "trays" with custom interface items on them. They slide in and out of my root view. I'd like to nest (addSubview) the items inside the view. Each needs some setup before being displayed...and none can be configured in IB (they're subclasses of UIView). I'm wondering if it ma...

UIView and NSTimer not releasing memory.

I have a line of UILabel text in a UIView which is regularly updated via NSTimer. This code is supposed to write a status item near the bottom of the screen every so often. The data comes from outside of its control. My app runs out of memory really fast because it seems the UILabel is not being released. It seems that dealloc is never ...

Animation for UIViews with Background Images?

I am having a problem with a UIView that when using a solid colour for the background, animates perfectly fine. However when I set a background image for it's colour instead, the UIView animation doesn't work properly.

I have a somewhat complex view that I put together in a separate (View-based template) project (the View Controller was represented with orange icon in MainWindow.xib). It's far enough along now that I've decided to move it into another project where it will be managed by a Navigation Controller. It is called from UINavigationController'...

Setting background colour of a UIView increasing memory usage

I am loading a number of UIViews onto a UIScrollView and am trying to track down why they are using so much memory. After a process of elimination using Instruments I have discovered that setting the background colour of the views increases memory usage by 4 times. If I don't set the background colour the memory usage sits at around 4....

RetainCount question using nested UIViews in iPhone app

I've made a test iPhone app to try and understand why I may be leaking memory in some other projects. I'm also a newbie when it comes to Obj-C/iPhone.

Strange graphics glitch when using flip animation.

Hey guys, I'm getting a strange error when committing a flip animation. These three bars show up, almost like strips that aren't being drawn too. I got a screenshot to show what I'm talking about.

In this case, I'm trying to draw a horizontal blue line that goes 75% of the way across. Instead, I get two vertical blue lines (one at the edge, one in the middle), that go 75% of the way up. It seems like the CGLaye...
