iphone - viewWillAppear, viewDidAppear,... 4 UIViewController not called.

Hi,

I have the same problem and do not understand why the view*Appear-methods are not called (I'm working with the 5th beta). In the 'NavBar'-example these methods get called so it can't be too difficult to get this working.

Any hints?

It works for me. You might want to make sure your view is actually getting displayed. For example, if you subclass UITableViewController, it has a built in UITableView that will get displayed. If you initialize another UITableView inside the UITableViewController subclass, it's possible to assume that your UITableView is getting displayed, and forget about the built in UITableView, when that's really the one that gets displayed, and not yours. This may not be what you're doing at all, but hopefully it illustrates the point -- if viewWillAppear isn't being called, make sure the view really is being displayed.

Additionally, I vaguely recall doing an early test and noticing that if a view has a subview that is initialized in the view's init method, and you only explicitly display the main view from your app delegate, the subview's viewWillAppear won't get called. Don't quote me on that, though -- there's a very good chance that my memory is playing tricks on me.

I'm using a tabbar and the controller of the selected tab-item receives the view*Appear-method calls, but this controller has a navigation bar with different controllers which get called with pushViewController and in all of these controllers the view*Appear-methods don't get called.

Yep - getting the same problem here. My views are definitely being created and displayed, but none of these methods are being called.

These methods have an "animated" parameter +- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated+. Make sure your definition is correct. I was missing that for a while and couldn't figure out why my viewWillAppear method was not getting called.

The method signature is definitely correct.
