I'm using my appDelegate's applicationDidReceiveMemoryWarning method to dump some high resource objects. When the app starts back up, rather than trying to reload just those objects and return the user to his last page, I would like just to restart the app from the top (from the main page, the app only goes one level deep, so this is totally acceptable to us).
Here's my paltry attempt, but it was an abject failure. It got close, but I ended up introducing some problems that resulted in an actual memory dump and app crash.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.viewController = [[SplashScreenViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SplashScreenViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navcon = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
self.window.rootViewController = navcon;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{
//For testing purposes only
self.lowMemoryWarning = TRUE;
NSLog(@"app did enter background");
}
- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application
{
NSLog(@"app will enter foreground");
if (self.lowMemoryWarning) {
NSLog(@"recovering from low memory warning");
self.window.rootViewController = nil;
UINavigationController *navcon = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
self.window.rootViewController = navcon;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
}
What's the best approach for doing something like this? Is there maybe a simple trick that I don't know about?
Thank you!
