How can I subclass UIView?

Question

class ReplyContent: UIView {
    var body: String?
    var image: UIImage?

    convenience init(body: String?, image: UIImage?){
        self.body = body
        self.image = image
        self.init()
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

}

The error states: "Cannot invoke ReplyContent.init with no arguments.

Shouldn't that be `super.init()` instead of `self.init()`? – Thilo May 30 '16 at 04:16 — Thilo, May 30 '16 at 04:16

You can't just do UIView.init() with no arguments. You need UIView.init(frame:) or UIView.init(coder:).
