Goal : show a splash screen in certain of time (3 seconds ) then log-in view appears for authentication process and if this authentication is successful, go to main page ( this effect is used by many applications such as facebook )
What I am doing is
1.set the root of navigation to be MainViewController
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.isLogIn = FALSE;
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
MainViewController *mainView = [[MainViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MainViewController" bundle:nil];
self.navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:mainView];
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
2.Present LogInViewController
as modalViewController in MainViewController
@implementation MainViewController
-(void) viewDidLoad {
appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
LogInController *logInController = [[LogInController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LogInController" bundle:nil];
if ( !appDelegate.isLogIn )
[self presentModalViewController:logInController animated:NO];
}
3.Present splashScreen
as modalViewController in LogInViewController
#implementation LogInViewController
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.title = @"Sign in";
SplashScreen *splashController = [[SplashScreen alloc] initWithNibName:@"SplashScreen" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:splashController animated:NO];
;
}
}
4.In splashScreen, dismiss itself after certain of time
@implementation SplashScreen
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self performSelector:@selector(removeSplashScreen) withObject:nil afterDelay:6.0];
}
-(void)removeSplashScreen{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Problem : the log in view is shown but a splashScreen is not presented before log in view.
I found out that the method of viewDidLoad
of SplashScreen
is not invoked at all.
Can somebody explain it to me and point out what I am missing here. All comments are welcomed here.
