You should pick one place or the other to do your nib loading. If you
choose to do it yourself, then don't hook up IB to automatically load
the view controller's nib. Then you can safely call [super loadview]
followed by your own code which includes loading the view from the
nib. Alternatively, continue to have hook-ups to automatically load
from the nib, and then in your own loadview, only do custom stuff that
doesn't touch the nib.

Heya,
I'd like to get hold of the top level objects returned by -[NSBundle
loadNibNamed:owner:options:] when UIViewController loads my view.
Sadly UIViewController doesn't seem to provide any way of accessing
these, so I thought I might be able to just load the nib myself :
-(void)loadView {
NSArray* topLevelObjects = [self.nibBundle
loadNibNamed:self.nibName
owner:self options:nil];
// do stuff with topLevelObjects...
}
which appeared to work pretty well, until I tried using it in a
UITableViewController subclass that's pushed onto a navigation
controller, where the view just turns out blank. Stepping into
-[UIViewController loadView] in gdb suggests that it's doing a whole
lot more than just -loadNibNamed:
I could call [super loadView], but that means I end up loading the
nib
twice, and re-assigning all the IBOutlets twice, which is pretty
ugly.
Any alternative suggestions?
Just as a follow up - it finally twigged that my tableview delegate &
datasource weren't hooked up in the nib. Looks like
-[UITableViewController loadView] automatically sets them if they're
weren't already. Connecting those up has fixed my blank view issue.
Even so, I wonder what else I'm missing by not calling [super
loadView]. Seems a pretty fragile approach...
