Thanks....
That makes a lot of sense.

OK -
The question is where do I release that object. If I put the release
at the end of the method, nothing will pop into my view.
If I don't release it, it works fine, but then I am worried about a
leak.
- (void)monthFruitAction:(id)sender{
MonthPickerViewController *mpvc = [[MonthPickerViewController
alloc]initWithNibName:@"MonthPicker" bundle:nil]; <<==== If I
autorelase, this method will NOT show my view.
[mpvc setMyParentController:self];
mpvc.view.frame =CGRectMake(19,66,260,258);
[fruitTypeView addSubview:mpvc.view];
[mpvc release] <<==== If I put this in, this method will NOT show
my view.
}
So, I am wondering how I am to release this object.
The question is, will you be done with it within the scope of this
method? As a general rule, if you want to keep something around for
longer than that, you need to make it an instance variable instead
of a local variable. That way you'll be able to release it later.
Since you're using dot-syntax, I assume you're using Objective-C
2.0. So, declare a retained property, like this:
@property (retain) MonthPickerViewController *mpvc;
And, of course, synthesize the accessors for it:
@synthesize mpvc;
Now, since you've specified retain behavior for the accessors,
you'll need to autorelease the controller when you create it -
otherwise you'd over-retain it. Since it's no longer a local
variable, you'll need to use self.mpvc to access it:
- (void)monthFruitAction:(id)sender {
self.mpvc = [[[MonthPickerViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:@"MonthPicker" bundle:nil] autorelease];
[self.mpvc setMyParentController:self];
self.mpvc.view.frame = CGRectMake(19,66,260,258);
[fruitTypeView addSubview:self.mpvc.view];
}
Now, when all is said and done, and you're finished with mpvc, just
assign nil to it. With retain symantics for the synthesized accessor
methods, doing so should release the old value:
self.mpvc = nil;
