memory leak on uiwebview alloc

Question

hi everyone. in my app i have a uiwebview which i used to display image file. now the problem is i am getting a leak in this view. here i have written the following code.

UIWebView *the_pWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]]; // the leak is on this line. 
the_pWebView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
the_pWebView.scalesPageToFit = YES;
the_pWebView.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight);
the_pWebView.delegate = self;

self.m_pWebView = the_pWebView;
[self.view addSubview: self.m_pWebView];
[the_pWebView release];

can somebody plz tell why the frist line of the code, where i am allocing the uiwebview would be leaking. even if i have released it?

Answer 1

If the m_pWebView property is retain or copy then you need to make sure you release it in your dealloc method on that class. I suspect you're not releasing it there.

Answer 2

You should also release self.m_pWebView after adding it to self.view
