Nothing happens

[fabdurso]

I'd like to show Onboard at first time launch, but right now nothing appears. This is my code:

#import "OnboardingViewController.h"
@interface ViewController ()

@implementation ViewController
#
#
#
-(void)firstTimePopup{

    OnboardingContentViewController *firstPage = [OnboardingContentViewController contentWithTitle:@"Welcome" body:@"body." image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"logo"] buttonText:@"Text For Button" action:^{
    }];
    OnboardingContentViewController *secondPage = [OnboardingContentViewController contentWithTitle:@"Welcome" body:@"body." image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"logo"] buttonText:@"Text For Button" action:^{
    }];
    OnboardingViewController *onboardingVC = [OnboardingViewController onboardWithBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"bg"] contents:@[firstPage, secondPage]];
    [self presentViewController:onboardingVC animated:YES completion:nil];
end

what am I missing?

Have you tried self.navigationController instead?

[fabdurso]

[self.navigationController presentViewController:onboardingVC animated:YES completion:nil];

stille the same :(

[mamaral]

You put this code inside a view controller - what are you doing with the view controller itself? How/where do you create/show it.

[fabdurso]

ok so... I'm calling firstTimePopup from my viewDidLoad when the user launches the app for the first time. is there something else I should add?

[mamaral]

I don't know enough about what you're doing. The view controller you showed the file for, is that being shown on screen?

[fabdurso]

The ViewController is my "homepage", that is showing correctly. Now on ViewController.m, in the viewDidLoad I check if it's user first use and if so, I call firstTimePopup, that should show the onboardingvc.

i know i'm missing something elementary but can't figure out what.

[mamaral]

It sounds like a very simple issue - you're missing something somewhere. Have you tried presenting a normal UIViewController instead of the onboarding view controller? Have you tried moving that code somewhere outside of viewDidLoad, perhaps viewDidAppear?

[fabdurso]

Yes, I called it from a button and it works! So should I move the code to viewDidAppear?

[mamaral]

Sounds like your timing was bad - you never want to present a view controller in viewDidLoad, as that can be called before that view controller is even shown on screen. I would suggest moving it to viewDidAppear, which will onboard slightly after the original view controller is seen.

[fabdurso]

I did it and it doesn't show up.

[mamaral]

It shows up on button click, but not in viewDidAppear?

[fabdurso]

exactly

[mamaral]

That sounds really odd... Without looking at more of the code, setting my own breakpoints/logs, etc., I'm not sure I can help. Presenting a view controller is about as simple as it gets - but I don't really have enough info to debug remotely.

[fabdurso]

Ok so i found a way. Not move all the code to viewDidLoad but just [self firstTimePopup]. It is working now.

[fabdurso]

And like a charm. Amazing job man! Thank you for the support!

No problem, glad to help!
