Q:

Creating Views without IB

It's pretty embarrassing asking this because I've been building apps for a while now. In the past I've always used Interface Builder to set up my views etc.
Here is my loadView:
- (void)loadView {
    UIView *splashView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]];
    splashView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

    UIImageView *splashImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"splash" ofType:@"jpg"]]];
    splashImage.frame = [splashView bounds];
    [splashView addSubview:splashImage];

    self.view = splashView;
}

For some reason the imageView isn't appearing. No errors, but just no appearance. The UIView is added, but the UIImageView isn't.
Like I said, I've traditionally done this with IB so I'm not so familiar with the programatic method.
Any help appreciated.

A:

Add splashView to self.view:
self.view = splashView;

or add your splashImage into self.view. In this case you don't need the UIView - splashView:
UIImageView *splashImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"splash" ofType:@"jpg"]]];
splashImage.frame = [splashView bounds];
[self.view addSubview:splashImage];
