Christoph Jerolimov updated CB-2395:
------------------------------------
Description:
I found a obj-c reference counting problem with Cordova 2.4.
Analysing the retain/release calls of CDVViewController i found the following
problem. If you just want fix this i added a recommendation at the! ;-)
*Retain:* When the view was displayed they load the request in a c-block
(simplified source here!). This callback-code needs the CDVViewController
itself:
{code}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
...
[CDVUserAgentUtil acquireLock:^(NSInteger lockToken) {
_userAgentLockToken = lockToken;
[CDVUserAgentUtil setUserAgent:self.userAgent lockToken:lockToken];
NSURLRequest* appReq = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:appURL ....;
[self.webView loadRequest:appReq];
}];
}
{code}
*Release:* To release the block (and so the CDVViewController) it's required to
call the the {{acquireLock}} associated {{releaseLock}} method. This was called
in the delegate methods of the webview.
{code}
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView*)theWebView AND
- (void)webView:(UIWebView*)webView didFailLoadWithError:(NSError*)error
...
if (_userAgentLockToken != 0) {
[CDVUserAgentUtil releaseLock:_userAgentLockToken];
_userAgentLockToken = 0;
}
{code}
*But:* If the webview.delegate was set to nil before the response was received
the {{releaseLock}} was never called!
*To fix this* please add these lines at least two the {{dealloc}} method!
For iOS 5.x it makes also sense to add this to the {{viewDidUnload}} method
where the webView.delegate was also removed. Otherwise remove this deprecated
method completly. Feel also free to externalize the then 3 or 4 calls to
CDVUserAgentUtil to a small privat method.
{code}
if (_userAgentLockToken != 0) {
[CDVUserAgentUtil releaseLock:_userAgentLockToken];
_userAgentLockToken = 0;
}
{code}
Thank you and best regards,
Christoph
