Why is this leaking memory? UIImage `cellForRowAtIndexPath:`
- by Emil
Hey.
Instruments' Leaks tells me that this UIImage is leaking:
UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[imagesPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"/%@.png", [postsArrayID objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]]]];
// If image contains anything, set cellImage to image. If image is empty, try one more time or use noImage.png, set in IB
if (image != nil){
// If image != nil, set cellImage to that image
cell.cellImage.image = image;
}
image = nil;
[image release];
(class cell (custom table view cell) also releases cellImage in dealloc method).
I haven't got a clue of why it's leaking, but it certainly is.
The images gets loaded multiple times in a cellForRowAtIndexPath:-method. The first three cells' image does not leak (130px high, all the space avaliable).
Leaks gives me no other info than that a UIImage allocated here in the code leaks.
Can you help me figure it out? Thanks :)
