UICollectionView reload ( crash ) - iphone

Question

I have a collections view and the view works fine when I load the data initially, but crashes when I try to reload it. take a look at the reload thats happening on the method - scrollViewDidEndDecelerating
and the error is
-[FeedCollectionViewCell release]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x800d6f70
here is the code.
This the Controller:
#interface MyViewController : UIViewController <UICollectionViewDataSource,UICollectionViewDelegate,UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout, UIScrollViewDelegate>
{
}
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UICollectionView *collectionView;
#end
This is the implementation :
#implementation MyViewController
#interface FeedCollectionViewController ()
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *dataArray;
-(void)getData;
#end
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
if (self.dataArray == nil) {
self.dataArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
}
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[self.collectionView registerClass:[FeedCollectionViewCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:[FeedCollectionViewCell reuseIdentifier]];
// Configure layout
UICollectionViewFlowLayout *flowLayout = [[UICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc] init];
[flowLayout setItemSize:CGSizeMake(153, 128)];
[flowLayout setScrollDirection:UICollectionViewScrollDirectionVertical];
[self.collectionView setCollectionViewLayout:flowLayout];
[self getData];
}
-(void)getData
{
// here I make a call to the server to get the data and I set the data array
self.dataArray = mydatafromserver
[self.collectionView reloadData];
}
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)cv cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
{
FeedCollectionViewCell *cell = (FeedCollectionViewCell *)[cv dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:[FeedCollectionViewCell reuseIdentifier] forIndexPath:indexPath];
[cell.label setText:[[self.dataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] name];
return cell;
}
- (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UICollectionView *) collectionView
{
NSLog(#"FeedCollectionViewController::scrollViewDidEndDecelerating");
CGPoint offset = collectionView.contentOffset;
CGRect bounds = collectionView.bounds;
CGSize size = collectionView.contentSize;
UIEdgeInsets inset = collectionView.contentInset;
float y = offset.y + bounds.size.height - inset.bottom;
float h = size.height;
// NSLog(#"offset: %f", offset.y);
// NSLog(#"content.height: %f", size.height);
// NSLog(#"bounds.height: %f", bounds.size.height);
// NSLog(#"inset.top: %f", inset.top);
// NSLog(#"inset.bottom: %f", inset.bottom);
// NSLog(#"pos: %f of %f", y, h);
float reload_distance = 300;
if(y > h - reload_distance) {
NSLog(#"load more rows...");
***//// FAIL HERE***
[self.collectionView reloadData];
}
}
Here is the cell
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#define FB_COLL_CELL_IDENTIFIER #"CollectionCellIdentifier"
#interface FeedCollectionViewCell : UICollectionViewCell
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *image;
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *label;
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIActivityIndicatorView *spinner;
+ (NSString *)reuseIdentifier;
#end
#import "FeedCollectionViewCell.h"
#import "CustomCellBackground.h"
#implementation FeedCollectionViewCell
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
NSLog(#"FeedCollectionViewCell initWithFrame");
// Initialization code
NSArray *arrayOfViews = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"FeedCollectionViewCell" owner:self options:nil];
if ([arrayOfViews count] < 1) {
return nil;
}
if (![[arrayOfViews objectAtIndex:0] isKindOfClass:[UICollectionViewCell class]]) {
return nil;
}
self = [arrayOfViews objectAtIndex:0];
CustomCellBackground *backgroundView = [[CustomCellBackground alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
self.selectedBackgroundView = backgroundView;
}
return self;
}
+ (NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
NSLog(#"FBDisplayCell ... static reuseIdentifier called ");
return (NSString *)FB_COLL_CELL_IDENTIFIER;
}
#end
and this is another one. adding this because its being used. I dont think the problem is here, but u never know!
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface CustomCellBackground : UIView
#end
#import "CustomCellBackground.h"
#implementation CustomCellBackground
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
// Initialization code
}
return self;
}
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
// draw a rounded rect bezier path filled with blue
CGContextRef aRef = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextSaveGState(aRef);
UIBezierPath *bezierPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:rect cornerRadius:5.0f];
[bezierPath setLineWidth:5.0f];
[[UIColor blackColor] setStroke];
UIColor *fillColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.529 green:0.808 blue:0.922 alpha:1]; // color equivalent is #87ceeb
[fillColor setFill];
[bezierPath stroke];
[bezierPath fill];
CGContextRestoreGState(aRef);
}
#end

The issue was with the UICollectioViewCell -initWithFrame
i changed to not load the nib and i started creating my own
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.85f alpha:1.0f];
self.layer.borderColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;
self.layer.borderWidth = 3.0f;
self.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
self.layer.shadowRadius = 3.0f;
self.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0f, 2.0f);
self.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5f;
self.imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.bounds];
self.imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
self.imageView.clipsToBounds = YES;
[self.contentView addSubview:self.imageView];
}
return self;
}
