Do I always have to call [super viewDidLoad] in the -viewDidLoad method?

Question

In Apple\'s scrollView example they don\'t call that. I always thought that\'s a must. Why should I call that anyways?

Answer 1

You don't have to call the [super viewDidLoad]

As far as I know, the viewDidLoad in the superclass (UIViewController) is only an empty function that gets called when the ViewController gets initialized with a nib-file.

So if you need to do any initializing, you should override this function and put your code there.
