Should touch events related to a given view be implemented in the view or the view controller?

[Michael A. Crawford]

Previously, I would have said the view-controller. But I just finished looking at the Metronome sample, which is included in the iPhone SDK. The touch handling code as well as some of the view initialization code (requiring a completely loaded view) is implemented in the UIView-derived class. Is this a bad example of how things should be partitioned or do I have the wrong idea about what the view-controller is for?

Here are some related follow-up questions:

1) What should be implemented in the view-controller?



Yeah, I'm confused.  Please discuss.  I will watch and learn.

2) Should all of the view properties be completely setup and configured within the view's own init and awakeFromNib methods or is the intent of viewDidLoad to allow for configuring view properties before proceeding?
