load view

unload view

/* The preferredContentSize is used for any container laying out a child view controller.
 */
@property (nonatomic) CGSize preferredContentSize NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(7_0);

@property(nullable, nonatomic, readonly, copy) NSString *nibName;     // The name of the nib to be loaded to instantiate the view.
@property(nullable, nonatomic, readonly, strong) NSBundle *nibBundle; // The bundle from which to load the nib.
@property(nullable, nonatomic, readonly, strong) UIStoryboard *storyboard NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(5_0);

解释：

• view：UIViewController的view hierarchy，如果访问property view getter时值为nil，会自动调用loadView，view应该为UIViewcontroller独享，不应共享
• isViewLoaded返回view是否为nil，如果值为nil，也不会自动调用loadView

loadView

loadView负责view hierarchy加载(加载nib，storyboard)或创建(代码创建)，如果访问property view getter时值为nil，会自动调用loadView

加载逻辑：

• loadView优先从bundle(nibBundle为nil表示main bundle，即app本身)加载nib(nibName)
• 如果nibName不为nil，如果加载成功(bundle中存在nib)，通过initWithCoder实例化view hierarchy，如果加载失败(bundle中不存在nib)，crash
• 如果nibName为nil，尝试加载nib(nib文件名为UIViewController class name)，如果加载成功(bundle中存在nib)，通过initWithCoder实例化view hierarchy，如果加载失败(bundle中不存在文件名为UIViewController class name的nib)，通过initWithFrame实例化view hierarchy
• 通过initWithFrame实例化view hierarchy时，view.frame初始化为与设备屏幕重叠，即frame.origin为(0, 0)，frame.size为设备逻辑尺寸(逻辑点)，在viewWillAppear中view.frame设置为window.bounds(此时view hierarchy还没加入window，但window可通过UIApplication获取)

代码逻辑：

@implementation UIViewController

//...

- (void)loadView
{
    if(nibName)
    {
        if(nib exist in nibBundle)  //nib名为nibName
        {
            self.view = load from nib;
        }
        else
        {
            crash;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        if(nib exist in nibBundle) //nib名为NSStringFromClass([self class])
        {
            self.view = load from nib;
        }
        else
        {
            self.view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
        }
    }
}

//...
