    <p>I have a problem with removing a subview, or more precisely with checking if it is still there after having deleted it.</p> <p>My app first adds a subview to self.view.</p> <pre><code>[self.view addSubview:tabsClippedView]; </code></pre> <p>Then it adds another subview to this subview (to which it adds several buttons as subviews, but I guess this is unimportant in this context):</p> <pre><code>[tabsClippedView addSubview:tabsView]; </code></pre> <p>Finally, I have a method which allows the tabsView to be deleted and then created again. I need to do this so as to update the number of buttons in that tabsView (as the user can delete buttons). The method looks basically like this:</p> <pre><code>[self.tabsView removeFromSuperview]; </code></pre> <p>After that I call a method called showTabs (which I already called in the very beginning of the app in order to add the subViews). This is where it all becomes problematic and where my app crashes (I get no error in the debug console, so I don't really know what the issue is...):</p> <pre><code> if ([tabsClippedView isDescendantOfView:self.view]) { NSLog(@"There is already a tabsClippedView."); } else { NSLog(@"There is no tabsClippedView. I'll add one..."); [self initTabsClippedView]; } </code></pre> <p><strong>This is where the app crashes: when trying to assess if tabsView isDescendantOfView (I don't get any of the following logs):</strong></p> <pre><code>if ([tabsView isDescendantOfView:tabsClippedView]) { NSLog(@"There is already a tabsView"); } else { NSLog(@"There is no tabsView for the buttons. I'll add one including buttons."); [self initTabs]; } </code></pre> <p>I'd be grateful for any suggestions where the problem could be.</p> <hr> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>These are the methods to set up my views:</p> <pre><code>-(void) initTabsClippedView { // sets up tabsClippedView NSLog(@"initTabsClippedView method started..."); CGRect tabsClippedFrame = CGRectMake(258,30,70,81*6); tabsClippedView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:tabsClippedFrame] autorelease]; tabsClippedView.clipsToBounds = true; [self.view addSubview:tabsClippedView]; NSLog(@"initTabsClippedView method ended."); </code></pre> <p>}</p> <pre><code> -(void) initTabs { NSLog(@"initTabs started. Adding buttons to tabsClippedView..."); CGRect tabsFrame = CGRectMake(-30,0,50,480); tabsView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:tabsFrame] autorelease]; [tabsClippedView addSubview:tabsView]; // sets up buttons in tabsClippedView </code></pre> <p>And this is where I delete the tabsClippedView (triggered by a button found in tabsClippedView):</p> <pre><code> -(void)tabDelete:(id)sender { UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender; [UIView animateWithDuration:0.75 delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn animations:^{ button.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(-30, 0); } completion:^(BOOL finished){ [UIView animateWithDuration:0 delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn animations:^{ [self.tabsView removeFromSuperview]; //... } completion:^(BOOL finished){ NSLog(@"tabsView removed from Superview. Objects Deleted."); [self showTabs]; NSLog(@"TabDelete finished. Button removed and tabsView updated accordingly."); } ]; }]; </code></pre> <p>And this is the showTabs method which was already called when I started the app:</p> <p>-(void)showTabs {</p> <pre><code>NSLog(@"showTabs started..."); currentView = @"Tabs"; if ([tabsClippedView isDescendantOfView:self.view]) { NSLog(@"There is already a tabsClippedView."); } else { NSLog(@"There is no tabsClippedView. I'll add one..."); [self initTabsClippedView]; } if ([tabsView isDescendantOfView:tabsClippedView]) { NSLog(@"There is already a tabsView"); } else { NSLog(@"There is no tabsView for the buttons. I'll add one including buttons."); [self initTabs]; } </code></pre>

    2. CO@Praveen S: I posted more code on how I created my subviews and where I access them. Thank you very much for your help!

    3. COI noticed that you accepted the answer that provided a solution, without understanding it, rather than taking the time to understand the answer that explained the problem. I updated my answer to provide a few more solutions, all better than Praveen's. Praveen certainly provided the easiest solution and you can just use that and go on with your life, but for your own sake I think you should take the time to understand what you're doing. FYI: It is possible to change the accept if you find my answer to be more helpful.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
