How to remove View from superView?

Question

I made an xib and showed it inside a view by following code.

    NSArray *xibContents = 
        [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"PickupAddressView"
            owner:self 
            options:nil];

    UIView *view = [xibContents objectAtIndex:0]; // Safer than objectAtIndex:0
    //UIView *subView=[view.subviews objectAtIndex:0];

    [view setFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f)];
    CGRect tempFrame=view.frame;
    tempFrame.size.width=300;//change acco. how much you want to expand
    tempFrame.size.height=350;
    [UIView beginAnimations:@"" context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.2];
    view.frame=tempFrame;
    //[UIView commitAnimations];
    [view setFrame:CGRectMake(10.0f, 90.0f, 300.0f, 350.0f)];
    [view setBackgroundColor:
      [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:
        [UIImage imageNamed:@"Register_bg"]]];
    [UIView commitAnimations];

    [view removeFromSuperview];
    [self.view addSubview:view];

I am using UIStoryboard, and made this xib and showed from following code.

How can I remove this view. I have a UIButton, whose IBAction is being called.

Thanks

Keep a weak reference to the view (either a property or an instance variable) and call removeFromSuperview like so:

[self.viewToRemove removeFromSuperview];

It's too simple to remove any view from its super view just type

[yourview removeFromSuperview];

If you declaring view as a property, then use like below.

[self.yourview removeFromSuperview];
