Creating View Controller and Custom View Programmatically

i've created a custom view controller and a custom view programmatically and while everything compiles fine, i only see a white screen in the iphone simulator *except* when i press the home button, where i can THEN see the drawing i've done to the view as it shrinks into obscurity. any idea why i'm not seeing my view while the app is actively running?

here's the relevant code:

app delegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

Code:

        
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    
	CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320, 480);
	window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:rect];		
	
	viewController = [[ViewController alloc] init];	
	
	[window addSubview:viewController.view];
        [window makeKeyAndVisible];	
        return YES;
}

view controller's loadView:

Code:

- (void)loadView {
	CGRect cgRct = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320, 480);
	myView = [[CustomView alloc] initWithFrame:cgRct];
	myView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
	self.view = myView; 
}

custom view's drawRect:

Code:

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
	CGContextRef theContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
	
	CGContextSetRGBFillColor(theContext, .5, .5, .5, 1);
	CGContextFillRect(theContext, rect);	
	
	NSLog(@"drawRect"); //yes, it get's called
}

again, i do see the rectangle drawn above, but only AFTER the home button has been hit to close the app.

ps. this really doesn't need justification, but this IB avoidance is a one-off thing, so just bear with me and thanks in advance for your help

 

thanks akira, but that's the point. i'm *not* using Interface Builder for this. I'm creating the window, view controller, and custom view, all programmatically for this project. As such, I want to wire them up programmatically as well

anyone idea of what i'm doing wrong? i can show more code, but what i've already offered accounts for most of the relevant parts i think.

 

akira, thank you, i greatly appreciate your help
here was the problem:

Code:

CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320, 480);
window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:rect];

i'm guessing since i still had my MainWindow_Phone.xib which contained a Window called window, trying to allocate that caused the problem. removing that line above allowed it to work.

thanks again!
