Copy a UIView from xib and programmatically repeat it using NSKeyedArchiver and NSKeyedUnarchiver.


Lets create a _contactView in .h file using IBOutlet, and connect it in .xib file.
Connect it to the _contactView.

In .m:
//The following line will create a similar view as _contactView in the XIB;
 id copyOfView = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:[NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:_contactsView]];



// Repeat the view to generate multiple copies and add to the scroll view.
for (int i =0; i<_contactArray.count; i++) {
        UIView* tempView ;//= [[UIView alloc]init];
        id copyOfView = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:[NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:_contactsView]];
        tempView = copyOfView;
        tempView.tag = i;
        [tempView setFrame:CGRectMake(xOffset, yOffset, width, height)];
        yOffset += ySpacing+height;
        [_contactScrollView addSubview:tempView];

    }

    [_contactScrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(_contactsView.frame.size.width, _contactsView.frame.size.height*(_contactArray.count+1))];
