uiwebview and huge memory loss

Question

I have a problem using UIWebViews, I\'ve seen the same question here but there wasn\'t helpful answer. the question is here: UIWebView memory management . I will quote it:

Answer 1

I know this thread is a bit old but just for an idea and to add few more relevant bits i would like to add these tips so the future visitors can have a look at this as well and there problem might get solved.

• You should set Cache policy to your NSURLRequest object and check for policies that ignore cache data, see the documentation.

• Since you have a call to release in your code i assume you are using ARC, so why you do not call [super dealloc] in viewDidUnload()?

• Have a look at this thread for how to cleanForDealloc using UIWebView.

• Is it a UITableViewController ? with a custom cells ? Try deallocating (release, removeFromSuperView, set to nil) them as well.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Just check the following 1. Is u make the webview as property remove it 2. And put the following code in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions in Appdelegate

    NSURLCache *sharedCache = [[NSURLCache alloc] initWithMemoryCapacity:0 diskCapacity:0 diskPath:nil];
    [NSURLCache setSharedURLCache:sharedCache];
    [sharedCache release];

I think then ur problem is solved

Answer 3

I guess that since you set webview=nil, you lose any chance to release it.
