ViewWillAppear not called when view is not a member variable of its ViewController

[jenniferpresto]

Issue caused in following scenario:

• created a view as a local variable within a View Controller's viewDidLoad method
• added that view as a subview of the ViewController's view
• overrode the viewWillAppear method in the ViewController

viewWillAppear will not get called, but will get called if the view is a member variable within the View Controller

This could lead to some needed changes?

Currently, when a ViewController is created inside of a function. The SuperView will only be able to keep the View inside of the ViewController because of the addSubview( sampleVC->getView). The ViewController will be lost since it becomes out of scope, thus the needed signals inside of the view controller are not getting called.
