How do I detect if the user has touched the screen in the past 5 seconds. If they have not I would like it to call my method to hide the navigation bars. I found a few answer but could not figure them out.
Thank You

Typical reasons for an error here include:
* The persistent store is not accessible;
* The schema for the persistent store is incompatible with current managed object model.
Check the error message to determine what the actual problem was.
If the persistent store is not accessible, there is typically something wrong with the file path. Often, a file URL is pointing into the application's resources directory instead of a writeable directory.
If you encounter schema incompatibility errors during development, you can reduce their frequency by:
* Simply deleting the existing store:
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtURL:storeURL error:nil]
* Performing automatic lightweight migration by passing the following dictionary as the options parameter:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption, [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption, nil];
Lightweight migration will only work for a limited set of schema changes; consult "Core Data Model Versioning and Data Migration Programming Guide" for details.

I’ve adopted your code so that it should work.
Main changes are:
pagesTableViewControllerandcollectionViewControllershould beretained properties of your application delegate.
self.window.rootViewControlleris now defined indidFinishLaunchingWithOptions:, both viewControllers are released indealloc.Note that you really should consider placing class definitions in separate files and
possibly start using ARC for new projects.
PageFlipperAppDelegate.h
PageFlipperAppDelegate.m
I made the changes in text editor so there might be some typos. Hopfully not.
EDIT:
If you want a certain viewController to start/stop timer with it’s appearing/disappearing you should remove all startTimer accourancies in the appDelegate and put the following lines in that viewControllers .m file:
