How to change view automatically

Hello everyone,

My this app consists of 5 views. each view has a button that switches to the next view. now I want to add one more view. but this time I don't want to press a button to go to the 6th view. what I want is, I press a button on view 4 that switches to view 5 then view 5 waits for say 2 seconds or 5 seconds or whatever, then it automatically switches to the view 6. can I add a counter?? How can it be done??
Please guide me....

Thanks and regards

How to auto switch views

You could call a NSTimer and when timer fires call your method for switching views EX.

in your .H file

@interface TestViewController : UIViewController {
NSTimer *SwitchTimer;

}

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSTimer *SwitchTimer;

@end


Now in your .M file


#import "TestViewController.h"

@implementation TestViewController
@synthesize SwitchTimer;


- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];

SwitchTimer =[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:5.0 target:self selectorselector(SwitchViews userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
}

-(void)SwitchViewsid)sender
{
// Now call your methode you use to switch views
}


- (void)dealloc
{
[super dealloc];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}

#pragma mark - View lifecycle


@end

And Thats that just add whats in red

Hi Alex,

First of all thank you very much for your help. Now, I reduced the views from 6 to 3. I applied your code on view 2. I am pressing a button on view 1 that switches to view 2 and starts the timer. But instead of going to view 3 the application gets terminated. I double checked my code but could not find a solution. Please help.

Thanks and regards..

When I posts the code Mac-Forums test editor turned some symbols into smilie and frownie faces lol but I can't figure out how to get them to go away ? Key where there is a frownie face there is supposed to be a : and a open parentheses (... and where there is a smilie far there is supposed to be a : and a close parentheses ) ...

You can put code in the code tags [*CODE]Hello world![*/CODE] (Minus the * symbols). That way it will stay formatted as you paste it.

Hey Alex,

Those smilies were not a problem. It was some other mistake. I found it out and now the app runs..
Thanks for your support
