Infinite loop when overriding initWithCoder

Question

I have a UIViewController with some controllers and some views. Two of these views (Grid Cell) are other nibs. I\'ve got outlets from the Grid Cells to File\'s

Answer 1

Loading the nib causes initWithCoder to be called again, so you only want to do so if the subclass currently doesn't have any subviews.

-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder {
    self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
    if (self) {
        if (self.subviews.count == 0) {
            UINib *nib = [UINib nibWithNibName:NSStringFromClass([self class]) bundle:nil];
            UIView *subview = [[nib instantiateWithOwner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];
            subview.frame = self.bounds;
            [self addSubview:subview];
        }
    }
    return self;
}
