Here's my code, simplified (and tested in this simple form) in order to
demonstrate a mystery:
- (void) illuminate: (NSArray*) arr {
UIView* v = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
NSLog(@"%@", v);
CALayer* lay = [v layer];
v.tag = 111;
[self.view addSubview:v];
lay.delegate = self; // <-- ***
[v release];
[self performSelector:@selector(unilluminate:)
withObject:nil afterDelay:0.2];
return;
}
- (void) unilluminate: (id) dummy {
for (UIView* aview in [self.view subviews])
NSLog(@"%i %@", aview.tag, aview);
}
The mystery is what we learn in unilluminate from logging:
(1) the UIView "v" is *not* among the subviews of self.view;
(2) but it *is* among the subviews of self.view if we comment out the
starred line (lay.delegate = self).
How can this be? How can merely setting the layer's delegate make such a
weird change? It appears that setting a layer's delegate somehow messes up
the way the subview hierarchy works.
Oh, I forgot to mention, even weirder: when lay.delegate = self and I
implement drawing in the layer's context as the delegate, the drawing *does*
appear in the right place in the window, even though the view whose drawing
I can see right there in the window is not a subview of the thing I told it
to be a subview of. - m.
