Question

I’m wanting to have my app (on launch) load a view that I have created over the top of the original view, then when a button is clicked the top view will disappear and show the main view underneath. I know this is terribly simple, but how would I do this? Maybe push the view in viewDidLoad?

Answer 1

This can be incredibly simple. When the user clicks the button, just do this

secondViewController.view.hidden = YES;

Just add the two views in your delegate, and do that in your delegate.

If you prefer, just do it “in” secondViewController! self.view.hidden = YES;

It sounds like you’re just doing something simple …… no need to bother with a view controller.

You ask how to display the second view, just like this ..

-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)applic`ation
        didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
        {
        [window addSubview:yourMainView.view];
        [window addSubview:theTemporaryView.view]; // it goes on top

        [window makeKeyAndVisible];

        application.idleTimerDisabled = YES;
        return YES;
        }
-(BOOL)eliminateTempView // example, when the user clicks on the button
        {
        theTemporaryView.view.hidden = YES;
        [theTemporaryView release];
        }

Hope it helps!
