-(id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
preview.text = "hello";
}
return self;
}
Preview it's a simple UILabel;
Just because you created your view controller from a nib doesn't mean it immediately loads it.
You need to put any code that requires ui components to be created in viewDidLoad i.e.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
preview.text = "hello";
}
If you check, preview will be nil inside your init method so setting text on it won't work!
because your iboutlets (the UI components) are loaded in the viewdidload method
you can't acces them in the init

I am trying to add a page with a UIScrollView and UIPageControl to my app. I am making the call to the new class from a UITableView as below.
MultiPageViewController *mpvc = [[MultiPageViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"MultiPageViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[[self navigationController]pushViewController:mpvc animated:YES];
The viewDidLoad function is never called, thus my UIScrollview and UIPageControl are never initialized. When I go along further and call viewWillAppear these objects are both still nil. Further the view never appears only a white screen. Below is the code from initWithNibName and viewDidLoad.
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
NSLog(#"initWithNibName returned self != null");
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSLog(#"View did load called");
}
Thanks for your help in advance.
I have a view controlled app. On my xib I have no webviews but I do have buttons that bring up classes that have webviews. So hit button one and a uiwebview pops up so on and so forth.
Now in one of my classes I pull up a remote webpage that has a link on it. I want to over-ride that button link with shouldStartLoadwithrequest. How ever this never seems to get called.
Right now my class is called Tenth.m and I have this code in my view controller
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView*)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
NSLog(#" Test spot 1");
NSString* scheme = [[request URL] scheme];
if ([#"didTap" isEqual:scheme]) {
// Call your method
NSLog(#" Test spot 2");
[self didTapButton1];
return NO;
} else {
NSLog(#" Test spot 3");
return YES;
}}
But I get nothing (none of my NSLogs). I have tried putting this into my Tenth.m class and still nothing. I have looked at other examples and even downloaded one but it only uses the viewcontroller and delegates classes. No third class.
I'm lost as to why its not getting called.
Here is my third class
#import "Tenth.h"
#implementation Tenth
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
[category10 loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.mywebsite.com/api/didtap.php"]]];
}
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void)dealloc
{
[super dealloc];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
// Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview.
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}

}

return YES;
}
#end
remote page code

Tenth.h file
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface Tenth : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate> {
IBOutlet UIWebView *category10;
}
-(IBAction)back;
#end
My first guess is that the Web view does not have its delegate set. In order for it to call
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView*)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
The class containing this method needs to be set as the webview's delegate. So somewhere in the code there should be a line similar to webView.delegate = <variable>, where the variable is the instance of the class which has implemented the shouldStartLoadWithRequest: method.
This is often "self" when the webView is a subview of a viewController's view. But the way you have described your application, I am not sure if it will be self or not, but it sounds like it will not be self, but the name of the instance of a different class.
Maybe try this:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Remember to set web view delegate to self.
category10.delegate = self;
}
I am unable to load the next view on button press. I have created a button and attached the checkButtonPress action to the button in the IB. But when I press the button on the simulator the next view (ViewOne.xib) do not load. When I tried to debug the code; it is printing the NSLog(#"View One");written in the if statement below which means the code is reaching to that point but the next view is not loading. I have already created the ViewOne .h, .m .xib files. Following is the code written in check1ViewController.m implementation file:
#import "check1ViewController.h"
#import "ViewOne.h"
#implementation check1ViewController
-(IBAction) checkButtonPress: (id) sender{
int button = [sender tag];
if(button==1)
{
NSLog(#"View One");
ViewOne *tempObj = [[ViewOne alloc]initWithNibName:#"ViewOne" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tempObj animated:YES];
[tempObj release];
}
else if(button==2)
{
NSLog(#"View Two");
}
}
/*
// The designated initializer. Override to perform setup that is required before the view is loaded.
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
if ((self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil])) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
*/
/*
// Implement loadView to create a view hierarchy programmatically, without using a nib.
- (void)loadView {
}
*/
/*
// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
}
*/
- (void)dealloc {
[super dealloc];
}
#end
The code is running fine with no errors or warnings.
Any suggestions if I am missing any part in the IB or in the code to be written or do need to override any method in any of the file ... or did I misplace IBAction before any other method
Sorry but I am new to iPhone dev so not sure what I did wrong ?
Thanks in advance
You application is not having navigation controller so add next view on window for this make object of AppDelegate class and then access window to addView.
YourAppDelegate *obj=(YourAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[obj.window addSubView:viewController.view];
In previous applications I have customised my tabBarItems by overriding init (see below)
- (id)init {
self = [super init];
if(self) {
UITabBarItem *tabBarItem = [self tabBarItem];
[tabBarItem setTitle:#"ONE"];
}
return self;
}
After looking at the Xcode templates I am now thinking that I would be better to add this customisation to initWithNibName:bundle: instead.
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
if ((self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil])) {
UITabBarItem *tabBarItem = [self tabBarItem];
[tabBarItem setTitle:#"ONE"];
}
return self;
}
does this make sense, it seems like it does to me, but I just wanted to check?

It depends on whether you load your controller from a Nib (xib) file or not (and so you do all the work programmatically in the init) I guess
I'm trying to give a newly created instance of a custom picker view controller a reference to another viewController like so (this is inside of a selector from a ponceViewController instance that is called after a tableView row is tapped)...
- (IBAction)rowTapped:(id)sender {
TimerPickerViewController *viewController = [[TimerPickerViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"TimerPickerView" bundle:nil]
self.timerPickerViewController = viewController;
timerPickerViewController.ponceViewController = self.rootViewController;
[viewController release];
}
Then inside my timerPickerViewController instance I have:
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]) {
...
// ponceViewController is null here
...
}
}
The timerPickerViewController displays just fine, and I can even access stuff from ponceViewController after I tap my "Done" button, but I'm synthesizing ponceViewController and it's in my header and everything, and I can't seem to access it inside of timerPickerViewController's initWithNibName method - it's always null. :( Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: I should also mention that ponceViewController is null inside timerPickerViewController's viewDidLoad method as well...
- (void)viewDidLoad {
... no such thing as ponceViewController here! ...
}
So I fixed it by completely removing initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil from timerPickerViewController and used viewDidLoad instead. Everything seems to work fine. I think the issue was that the property wasn't available yet when referencing it inside initWithNibName. Hope that helps someone else.
