initWithNibName VS viewDidLoad

Question

I\'ve been trying to understand for hours when I should use the viewDidload: and when I should use initWithNibName: to set up the properties of my viewController.

Answer 1

initWithNibName: is called when the NIB is loaded and instantiated.

viewDidLoad: is called when your view is actually presented onscreen.

And yes - I believe that in your case, setting colors and such are best done in initWithNibName
