IBOutlet instances are (null) after loading from NIB

Question

I am working on an iPhone app and am getting (null) references to IBOutlet fields in my controller. I have a UIViewController subclass that is set as the File\'s Owner in my XIB

Answer 1

This is how I do it:

//in your view controller
-(void)setUp
{
    [self.cardView layoutIfNeeded];
    LearnCardPlainText *cardNib = [[[UINib nibWithNibName:@"LearnCardPlainText" bundle:nil] instantiateWithOwner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];
    cardNib.frame = self.cardView.frame;
    [cardNib setUpWithPart:learnModel];
    [self.view addSubview:cardNib];
}
