How to completely unload a view, removeFromSuperview doesn't unload it.
I want to learn to completely unload a view, for memory reasons. I notice that when I use removeFromSuperview the view is in it's same state upon return.
removeFromSuperview doesn't kill it, it simply removes it from its superview. It will continue to be alive if something is holding on to it. If this is, for example, the view controller's view, then the view controller itself will keep the view alive whether or not it is on screen.
You need something more along the lines of a method that handles whatever cleanup activities need to happen. Remove subviews, set positions, etc.
Could I release the old view controller's view when in another view controller's view through the delegate? Would release even work like that? I'm a bit lost. I was kinda hoping there is a method that I can do in the delegate like [REMOVED_VIEW unloadView] or something.
