Loading a custom UIView from xib - ios

Question

I have a custom UIView which I am loading in this manner
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame withDelegate:(id)del
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
UIView *myView;
if (self)
{
NSArray* nibViews = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:NSStringFromClass([self class])
owner:self
options:nil];
for (id object in nibViews)
{
if ([object isKindOfClass:[self class]])
myView = object;
}
myView.frame = frame;
myView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[self addSubview: myView];
}
self.delegate = del;
return self;
}
On loading the view like this when UIView method returns self all the outlets linked in the Interface Builder are nil. Is it not the right way ?

Answer 1

Use this method for load particular xib from bundle
UINib *nib = [UINib nibWithNibName:NSStringFromClass([self class]) bundle:nil];

Answer 2

Try this :
self = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:NSStringFromClass([self class])
owner:self
options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];

Answer 3

Use this
myView =[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:NSStringFromClass(self.class) owner:self options:nil].firstObject];
Or simple you can use
myView = [nibViews firstObject]

Answer 4

As I understand you provide IBOutlet in the xid and when you try to load the view like you provide these values is nil. This is anticipated becouse you create onew viwe and add the view from xib as subview. So the parrent view does not set this values.
to fixe this you need to rework method as loaded your view.
Please try use this:
+ (id)createWithFrame:(CGRect)frame withDelegate:(id)del
{
NSArray* nibViews = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:NSStringFromClass([self class])
owner:nil
options:nil];
<Provide class name> *myView = nibViews[0];
myView.frame = frame;
myView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
myView.delegate = del;
return myView;
}
