Multiple Views Memory Management

[akamal]

Hi All

I am using multiple views controlled by a single view controller in my project. My problem is, when I go from one view to the other memory does not get released.
I am using -
[currentView removeFromSuperview];
[currentView release];
NextView *nextView = [[NextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x1,y1,x2,y2)];
[masterViewController addSubView:nextView];

Please help

Are you putting currentView in an array, or anything else that might keep its retainCount from reaching zero? Try logging the retainCount of currentView before you remove and release it. Is it 2(good), or 3(bad)?

NSLog (@"retainCount: %d", [currentView retainCount]);

The way you're addding nextView looks OK, although you could release it right after addSubView; then you don't have to release it later. Do you add the current view the same way?
