What's a good way to remove all of the subviews of a UIScrollView?
- by Moshe
I have a scroll view and I need to reload the contents often while my app is running. Right now, I'm using the following line of code to remove the subviews before adding them back again:
[scrollView.subviews makeObjectsPerformSelector:@selector(removeFromSuperview)];
Should I be using the following instead?
scrollView.subviews = nil;
For some reason, the (first) above line of code seems to crash the app every 16 times it is run. Am I leaking memory somewhere? The following method takes an array of views, the scroller (which is a constant) and the direction.
Edit:
- (void)loadViews:(NSArray *)views IntoScroller:(UIScrollView *)scroller withDirection:(NSString *)direction{
//Set up the scrollView
[scrollView.subviews makeObjectsPerformSelector:@selector(removeFromSuperview)];
if([direction isEqualToString:@"horizontal"]){
scrollView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 768);
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(scrollView.frame.size.width * [[NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInt:[views count]] floatValue], scrollView.frame.size.height);
}else if([direction isEqualToString:@"vertical"]){
scrollView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 768);
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(scrollView.frame.size.width, scrollView.frame.size.height * [[NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInt:[views count]] floatValue]);
}
for (int i=0; i<[[NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInt:[views count]] intValue]; i++) {
[[[views objectAtIndex:[[NSNumber numberWithInt:i] unsignedIntValue]] view] setFrame:scrollView.frame];
if([direction isEqualToString:@"horizontal"]){
[[[views objectAtIndex:[[NSNumber numberWithInt:i] unsignedIntValue]] view] setFrame:CGRectMake(i * [[views objectAtIndex:[[NSNumber numberWithInt:i] unsignedIntValue]] view].frame.size.width, 0, scrollView.frame.size.width, scrollView.frame.size.height)];//CGRectMake(i * announcementView.view.frame.size.width, -scrollView.frame.origin.x, scrollView.frame.size.width, scrollView.frame.size.height)];
}else if([direction isEqualToString:@"vertical"]){
[[[views objectAtIndex:[[NSNumber numberWithInt:i] unsignedIntValue]] view] setFrame:CGRectMake(0, i * [[views objectAtIndex:[[NSNumber numberWithInt:i] unsignedIntValue]] view].frame.size.height, scrollView.frame.size.width, scrollView.frame.size.height)];
}
[scrollView addSubview:[[views objectAtIndex:[[NSNumber numberWithInt:i] unsignedIntValue]] view]];
}
}
