Before you tell me that I have not enough experience to be programming, know that I have learned.

I made a little iPhone application that goes from one tableview to another using view controllers. When I attempt to go back, it crashes.

What have I done?

I doubt anyone would tell you that :). We all need to start somewhere.

Questions like this are impossible to answer without more information in the form of source code I am afraid.

I can send in some code if it helps :)

What I need to know before I do this is where the problem is likely to be: in the ViewController that cannot go back, or the original ViewController?

As I said it is impossible to answer without seeing your source code. You could have made a mistake anywhere. Without seeing any code, any answer would just be a guess.

I am going to try to fix it on my own. The thing is, I had it working, then I accidentally pressed undo and it started crashing. GAH I hate this.

What you have all been waiting for *drumroll*


Code:
@implementation UserNameViewController

@synthesize detailItem;
@synthesize tableView;

- (id)init
{
	if (self = [super init]) {
		self.title = @"Accounts";

	}
	return self;
}

- (void)loadView
{
    tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] style:UITableViewStylePlain];
	tableView.delegate = self;
	tableView.dataSource = self;	
	tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine;
	
	self.view = tableView;
}

- (void)dealloc
{
	tableView.dataSource = nil;
	tableView.delegate = nil;
	[passwordViewController release];
	[tableView release];
	[super dealloc];
}

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
	return 1;
}


- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
	return [[detailItem objectForKey:@"accounts"] count];
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath withAvailableCell:(UITableViewCell *)availableCell {
	
	UISimpleTableViewCell *cell = nil;
	if (availableCell != nil) {
		cell = (UISimpleTableViewCell *)availableCell;
	} else {
		cell = [[[UISimpleTableViewCell alloc] init] autorelease];
	}

	// Set the value in the cell
	NSArray *usernames = (NSArray *)[detailItem objectForKey:@"accounts"];
	NSDictionary *account = (NSDictionary *)[usernames objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
	cell.text = [account objectForKey:@"username"];
	return cell;
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView selectionDidChangeToIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)newIndexPath fromIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)oldIndexPath {
	if (passwordViewController == nil) {
		passwordViewController = [[PasswordViewController alloc] init];
	}
	// Set the detail controller's inspected item to the currently-selected item
	passwordViewController.detailItem = [[detailItem objectForKey:@"accounts"] objectAtIndex:newIndexPath.row];
	[[self navigationController] pushViewController:passwordViewController animated:YES];
}

@end

Yes I know, a lot of the code looks familiar if you have looked at the SimpleDrillDown source code. :eek:

Thank you so much! It works.

That taught me something about auto releasing variables :)

May I ask, what works? I might be having a similar problem, but I don't see the post you seem to be responding to.

The OP was probably releasing property objects. If you are using properties and then you release them before dealloc() then it makes the object invalid and therefor you get this error.

My problem is probably different, then. I create a navigation controller in my applicationDidFinishLaunching, setting the root view controller to my top view controller, which I initialize from a NIB. My top view controller has a butten that, when pressed, uses pushViewController to push another view controller onto the navigation controller's stack. This other view controller is also initialized from a (different) NIB.

When I touch the back button from the other view controller, my application crashes. This is the last I see in the debugger:

I do not know where the post I was responding to went .. but whoever it was told me that when I created the button object [UIButton buttonWithType:], it was autoreleased. When I released it, it crashed. That was SDK version 1, this is 5, so things are different. However, the idea is the same: never release variables twice.

My new book by the Big Nerd Ranch guy stated that if you try to release an autorelease object you will get an error and cannot compile.

Is this still an issue?

Unfortunately, it does compile. Meaning that if you have that mistake, you will not know it until later and it will not be as descriptive as an error message on a particular line.

Boy do I feel dumb. I was using a local reference to my view, then releasing it! Don't try this at home:

Code:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
	UIView *view = self.view;
	.
	.
	.
	[view release];
}

How making nil and releasing differs???

is it ok to do release like
Code:
[myObject release];
myObject = nil;
OR the following is enough???
Code:
myObject = nil;


My app crashing sometimes on statup....

Also i am getting mem-leaks for following line...

Code:
cell.image = [UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataFromURL:[NSURL urlWithString:[I]myImagePath[/I]]]];

Help plz...

Is perfectly fine, but you probably don't need to set the reference pointed to by myObject to nil unless that's how you tell elsewhere in your code whether the reference points to allocated memory or not. In general, it's not needed and unless you really need to know whether that pointer points to a valid reference or not, just be diligent about your releases as you can get in to trouble if myObject was allocated by an Apple API object and you've just set it to nil and then the API object tries to use it (for example, a UIView).

Doing
Code:
myObject = nil;

Is BAD! Do NOT do this. You are essentially orphaning your reference at that point, and it cannot be released later on.

pick some apple demo code

I highly recommend starting with some apple demo code and molding that into what you need your app to do. Do it one step at a time so you can see where your app crashes. It helped me especially through the early beta. It also helps you understand excellent design practices.
