How to remove a subview from memory and display right away?

Question

How do I remove a UIImageView's subview (a View Controller in this case) from memory and display immediately?

[myGroovySubview release];

isn't doing it.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks // :)

Answer 1

myGroovySubview.hidden = YES; hides the view. You could also try to remove it from its superview with [myGroovySubview removeFromSuperview];

If you removed it from its superview, the release call should automatically remove it from memory since the reference count should be zero after that call.
