    text
    <p>When my app first loads, I set the <code>rootViewController</code> property of my <code>UIWindow</code> to <code>controllerA</code>. </p> <p>Sometime during my app, I choose to change the <code>rootViewController</code> to <code>controllerB</code>.</p> <p>The issue is that sometimes when I do a flip transition in <code>controllerB</code>, I see <code>controllerA</code>'s view behind it. For some reason that view isn't getting removed. Whats even more worrying is that after setting the <code>rootViewController</code> to <code>controllerB</code>, <code>controllerA</code>'s <code>dealloc</code> method never gets fired.</p> <p>I've tried removing the subviews of <code>UIWindow</code> manually before switching to <code>controllerB</code>, that solves the issue of seeing <code>controllerA</code>'s views in the background but <code>controllerA</code>'s dealloc still never gets called. <strong>Whats going on here????</strong></p> <p>Apples docs say:</p> <blockquote> <p>The root view controller provides the content view of the window. Assigning a view controller to this property (either programmatically or using Interface Builder) installs the view controller’s view as the content view of the window. If the window has an existing view hierarchy, the old views are removed before the new ones are installed.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>Here's the code of my AppDelegate:</p> <pre><code>- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]; [self showControllerA]; [self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; return YES; } - (void)showControllerA { ControllerA* a = [ControllerA new]; self.window.rootViewController = a; } - (void) showControllerB { ControllerB* b = [ControllerB new]; self.window.rootViewController = b; } </code></pre>

    2. COStupid question, but do you set the `controllerA` to nil when you push the second controller? If not then it will not dealloc. (I'm assuming you are)

    3. COI never keep a pointer to controllerA so not sure what I would set to nil.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
