load data into a UIWebView created programmatically - objective-c

Question

I'm setting up a ViewController that will hold a couple of UIViews, including UIWebView
I'm creating and adding those Views programmatically in the viewDidLoad method.
Is this approach satisfactory? or am I doing something too expensive for the hardware.
and how do I load new data into a WebView that was created in the ViewDidLoad method.
I have a properly of type UIWebView, then in the ViewDidLoad i do:
detailsView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(500, 0, 512, 768)];
and this does not seem to work:
- (void)loadDetailedContent:(NSString *)s
{
[detailsView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.google.com"]]];
[detailsView reload];
}
Waiting for your reply, thank you in advance

Answer 1

You can certainly create and add subviews in your viewController's viewDidLoad programmatically, but you'll have to remember to call addSubview if you want them to appear on the screen.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
detailsView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(500, 0, 512, 768)];
[self.view addSubview:detailsView];
}
As for your second question about loading data into your webview, there is no need to call reload immediately after calling loadRequest:.
- (void)loadDetailedContent:(NSString *)s
{
[detailsView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.google.com"]]];
}
