iOS内存警告处理

1.    内存警告的说明

在iOS6.0之后，不再支持viewWillUnload 和 viewDidUnload。但依然支持didReceiveMemoryWarning。之所以不支持viewWillUnload和 viewDidUnload，官方文档的解释是：当view不在window视图中时，系统会自动释放view中的耗内存的资源，view中剩余的资源所占内存极小，不值得系统为了节省内存而自动去释放，然后再重新创建视图层次。

The answer I eventually got back from Apple:
Your "large resources" happen to be images that you've loaded cached via +imageNamed:. Because they are loaded cached, they are exempted from the automatic cleanup. Generally only content generated via -drawRect: or by Core Animation is automatically released here. Because your views continue to exist, they continue to hold a reference to these cached images, and we can't purge them on memory warning either

2.    导致的问题

如上导致的问题是：系统会自动控制释放view，但是其retain/strong属性的子view无法得到释放。

3.    官方的解决

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning

{

[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];

// Add code to clean up any of your own resources that are no longer necessary.

if ([self.view window] == nil)

{

// Add code to preserve data stored in the views that might be

// needed later.

// Add code to clean up other strong references to the view in

// the view hierarchy.

self.view = nil;

}

官方代码的理解：

[self.view window] == nil 这段代码和ios5中调用viewWillUnload的判断条件一样：满足self.view存在;self.view可被释放，即不在任何视图层次中。

官方代码的问题：

在 [self.view window]== nil 中，如果当前的view未创建，接受到了内存警告，则该段代码导致系统生成view，然后在self.view= nil又释放掉了。

 

4.   可以采用的实现方式

// will not be called in iOS 6, see iOS docs

- (void)viewWillUnload

{

       [super viewWillUnload];

       [selfmy_viewWillUnload];

}

 

// will not be called in iOS 6, see iOS docs

- (void)viewDidUnload

{

       [super viewDidUnload];

       [selfmy_viewDidUnload];

}

 

// in iOS 6, view is no longer unloaded so do it manually

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning

{

       [superdidReceiveMemoryWarning];

       if ([self isViewLoaded]&& [self.viewwindow] ==nil) {

           [selfmy_viewWillUnload];

           self.view = nil;

           [selfmy_viewDidUnload];

       }

}

 

- (void)my_viewWillUnload

{

       // prepare to unload view

}

 

- (void)my_viewDidUnload

{

       // the view is unloaded, clean up as normal

}

 

说明：

l   [self.view window] == nil 的基础上增加了另外一个条件[selfisViewLoaded]。[self isViewLoaded]表示系统调用了loadView，并生成了view。这样就可以避免上面所说到的问题。

l   这里在iOS5上也不会出现重复调用my_viewWillUnload和my_viewDidUnload，在didReceiveMemoryWarning 中，系统首先调用了viewWillUnload和viewDidUnload，这时self.view为空，不满足[self  isViewLoaded]。
