ViewController
ViewController是IOS开发中MVC模式中的C,ViewController是view的controller,ViewController的职责主要包括管理内部各个view的加载显示和卸载,同时负责与其他ViewController的通信和协调。
在IOS中,有两类ViewController,一类是显示内容的,比如UIViewController、UITableViewController等,同时还可以自定义继承自UIViewController的ViewController;另一类是ViewController容器,UINavigationViewController和UITabBarController等,UINavigationController是以Stack的形式来存储和管理ViewController,UITabBarController是以Array的形式来管理ViewController。
View的加载
可以看到,在Controller中创建View有2种方法,一种是使用Storyboard等可视化工具,另一种是通过代码创建。可视化创建在工程中很少用到,因为它满足不了开发者如饥似渴的需求--。
代码创建界面文件
1.创建新的Empty Application Project
2.新建ViewController的类,添加loadView方法,及viewDidLoad等方法
// // XYZViewController.m // ViewLifeCycle // // Created by Norcy on 14-7-28. // Copyright (c) 2014年 QQLive. All rights reserved. // #import "XYZViewController.h" @interface XYZViewController () @end @implementation XYZViewController - (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil { self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]; if (self) { // Custom initialization } return self; } - (void)loadView { UIView *contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]]; contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor]; self.view = contentView; } - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // Do any additional setup after loading the view. NSLog(@"View Did Load"); } - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated { NSLog(@"View Will Appear"); } - (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated { NSLog(@"View Did Appear"); } - (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated { NSLog(@"View Will Disappear"); } - (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated { NSLog(@"View Did Disappear"); } @end
3.在AppDelegate.m中的application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:中注册ViewController
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]; // Override point for customization after application launch. self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; XYZViewController *viewController = [[XYZViewController alloc]initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil]; self.window.rootViewController = viewController; [self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; return YES; }
虽然我们可以在AppDelegate.m中的application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:中设置window的代码后面添加view,但是在一般的工程中,我们不会在委托类中管理我们的View。 而是利用委托类中的UIWindow去添加UIViewController,再在ViewController类中去管理View。
附,创建带NavigationController的代码
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]; self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; /*设置Navigation controller*/ XYZFirstViewController *viewController = [[XYZFirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil]; UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController]; [nav setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:NO]; self.window.rootViewController = nav; [self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; [viewController release]; [nav release]; return YES; }
ViewController生命周期
alloc -> initWithNibName -> loadView -> viewDidLoad -> viewWillAppear -> viewDidAppear -> viewWillDisappear -> viewDidDisappear -> dealloc
注意viewWillUnload和viewDidUnload已经在ios6被废弃了,因为Clearing references to views is no longer necessary。
注意1.没有viewWillLoad。
注意2.viewDidLoad和viewDidUnload并不是成对的。
启动程序
2014-07-28 17:43:36.124 ViewLifeCycle[4007:a0b] View Did Load
2014-07-28 17:43:36.125 ViewLifeCycle[4007:a0b] View Will Appear
2014-07-28 17:43:36.128 ViewLifeCycle[4007:a0b] View Did Appear
按下Home键,并没有任何记录
双击Home键,删除该程序
2014-07-28 17:43:51.327 ViewLifeCycle[4007:a0b] View Will Disappear
2014-07-28 17:43:51.327 ViewLifeCycle[4007:a0b] View Did Disappear
为什么按下Home键之后没有调用viewWillDisappear和viewDidDisappear呢?
因为在ios4后引入了后台的概念,当按下Home键之后,程序被挂起了,但是该View依然是原来的View,并不是新的。所以只有内存不够的时候或程序被终止的时候,才会调用viewWillDisappear和viewDidDisappear。
View的卸载
loadView v.s. viewDidLoad
view的nib文件为nil时,手工创建视图界面时调用loadView;当view的nib文件存在的时候,初始化工作在viewDidLoad中实现。
loadView时view还没有生成,viewDidLoad时,view已经生成了。loadView方法用来创建一个新的view。loadView只会被调用一次,而viewDidLoad可能会被调用多次。
当受到内存警告时,那么此时系统默认操作会检查当前视图控制器的view是否还在使用,如果没在使用且控制器实现了loadView方法,ViewController会将view release并将其指向为nil。
注意,不要在loadView中调用父类方法[super loadView],因为这会影响CPU性能。
注意2,切换前后台不会调用viewWillAppear
