Before load my first view, I want to display a welcome view.

[snowffer]

Hello, everyone. I'm a green hand here.

I want to create an app on iphone or ipad. After clicking the icon of the app, I want to let the app show a welcome window before loading my first view. After staying on the welcome window for about 3 mins, the app can jump to its first view automatically. So how could implement this feature?

Thank you again, everyone.

Thank you again, everyone.

First, add welcome view to window, and create afterDelay 3 mins function, this function do change view (welcome to first view).

[self performSelector:@selector(changeView:) withObject:nil afterDelay:3.0];

3 mins? Do you mean 3 seconds?

If you mean seconds, simply putting a Default.png image in the resource directory will do this.

If you mean minutes, I would be worried that apple may reject this. Is it a static welcome screen? Are you planning a way to bypass it early?

I want to add a video right after my default image goes away. Would I use the viewdidload function for this or applicationDidFinishLaunching? Also after the video is done I want it to go to my main view. Would the main view be called in applicationDidFinishLaunching?

so basically when the app icon is pressed
-default image switches to video
-video plays then switches to
-main view

Sorry, my mistake, it should be 3 seconds. Thank you very much.

-default image switches to video > in viewDidLoad method, call play video.
-video plays then switches to > video delegate method tell finished, then call display main view.
