Clone or Copy UIViewController or UIView

Question

UII need copy, self controller or self.view, i have tried:

UIView* viewOfSelf =[self.view copy];
UIViewController* controller = [self copy];

UIView* viewOfSelf =[self.view mutableCopy];
UIViewController* controller = [self mutableCopy];

The error is:

    -[UIViewController mutableCopyWithZone:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xb803490
    -[UIView copyWithZone:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6e0acb0

Answer 1

Use -

NSData *tempArchiveView = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:self.view];
UIView *viewOfSelf = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:tempArchiveView];

Similarly -

NSData *tempArchiveViewController = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:self];
UIViewController *controller = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:tempArchiveViewController];
