I'm having a problem that doesn't seem to have an obvious solution. I've searched around and I've been through all common answers that I could find.
My custom xib views don't show up on the app when I launch. The background is clear, and this xib has 5 image views as you can see below which aren't set to hidden.
The class has about 5 delegates as well which I set from a caller when the delegates have been initialized. The caller of initWithDelegates:
is the parent UIViewController that displays this xib.
CustomView.h
@interface CustomView : UIView<SomeProtocol>
// UI Items - THESE AREN'T SHOWING UP
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *image1;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *image2;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *image3;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *image4;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *label;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIStackView *centerStackView;
- (id)initWithDelegates:(UIViewController*)delegate1 withDelegate2:(NSObject<Delegate2>*)delegate2 withDelegate3:(NSObject<Delegate3>*)delegate3 withDelegate4:(UIViewController<Delegate4>*)delegate4
withDelegate5:(NSObject<Delegate5>*)delegate5;
@end
CustomView.m
@implementation CustomView
- (void)awakeFromNib {
[super awakeFromNib];
}
- (id)initWithDelegates:(UIViewController*)delegate1 withDelegate2:(NSObject<Delegate2>*)delegate2 withDelegate3:(NSObject<Delegate3>*)delegate3 withDelegate4:(UIViewController<Delegate4>*)delegate4
withDelegate5:(NSObject<Delegate5>*)delegate5
{
NSArray * arr =[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CustomView" owner:nil options:nil];
self = [arr firstObject];
self.delegate1 = delegate1;
self.delegate2 = delegate2;
self.delegate3 = delegate3;
self.delegate4 = delegate4;
self.delegate5 = delegate5;
[self setLoopImage];
[self layoutIfNeeded];
return self;
}
@end
What else I've verified:
Any help is appreciated!
UPDATE:
I believe this has something to do with putting the nibs in a nested UIView. In the interface builder, the order is UIViewController -> UIView -> nibs
There doesn't seem to be a method to register nibs from the parent UIViewController as there are in classes like UITableView.
I've also tried:
(id)initWithDelegates
method not init or register the nib in case that was duplicating the object. I did this by removing 1) return self
, 2) the lines that register the nib, and 3) making the method prototype return void - I.E. (void)initWithDelegates
- This didn't work either. [self addSubview: self.image1];
[self bringSubviewToFront: self.image1];
[self.menuImage setHidden:image1];
-- with no luck.nibs cannot be nested within the structure.
Instead of:
UIViewController -> UIView -> nibs..
It should be:
UIViewController -> Container View -> UIView with nibs.
