iOS call void when showing the view

[spire.bt]

is there something that can call a -(void) every time a view shows.
I am rotating between two views, so when i go to the second view and then return to the first view I want a void to be called automatically from the first view

I've try to do this with

 -(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated

and

 - (void)viewDidLoad

by putting a NSLog in them but it doesn't print when i return to the first view. any suggestions?

something like viewDidShow

How are you showing/hiding your second view? Post code.

 

[spire.bt]

I have two methods in the app delegate

-(void)goTo1{ 

 [self.window addSubview:[viewController view]]; 
 [settingsViewController.view removeFromSuperview];


 [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
 [UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
  //removing the settingsViewController form the view and setting the animation
  [UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:window cache:NO];

  [UIView commitAnimations];
  [settingsViewController release];
  settingsViewController = nil; }

and

-(void)goTo2{

 //calling the .xib file and the SettingsViewController
 SettingsViewController *aSettingsView = [[SettingsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"Settings" bundle:nil];
 [self setSettingsViewController:aSettingsView];
 [aSettingsView release];

 [self.window addSubview:[settingsViewController view]];
 //moving the view 30px down
 [[settingsViewController view] setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 20, 320, 460)];

 [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
 [UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
 //setting the animation
 [UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:window cache:YES];

 [UIView commitAnimations]; 
 [webskiAppBetaViewController release];
 webskiAppBetaViewController = nil;
}

and IBActions in the 2 view controllers
first One

-(IBAction)goToView2{

 WebskiAppBetaAppDelegate *mainDelegate = (WebskiAppBetaAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
 [mainDelegate goTo2]; 
}

and teh second one

-(IBAction)goToView1{
 WebskiAppBetaAppDelegate *maniDelegate = (WebskiAppBetaAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
 [maniDelegate goTo1];
}

so now when i call goToVIew1 I also want to run a method that is in the view 1

something like this

-(IBAction)goToView1{

 WebskiAppBetaAppDelegate *maniDelegate = (WebskiAppBetaAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
 [maniDelegate goTo1];
[self methodInFirstVIew]; //this method exists in the first view
}

Also, your phrasing is a little strange: you don't "call a void"; you call a method whose return value happens to be void.
Just like if you had:

- (NSString *)stringForThing;

you wouldn't call an NSString* but rather you would call a method whose return type is NSString*.

And if you want to be really technical: you don't even call methods; you pass a message to an object.

EDIT:

P.S. I don't think addSubview: triggers the viewWillAppear: or viewDidAppear: methods the way you'd like it to. You should probably consider presenting the views either modally or through a navigationController.

I don't see how this was helpful but "call a -(void) " obviously minds you so next time i will try to write "call the -(void) SomeVoid;"
or from now on I will pass a message to an object, but what about the problem that i have???

but what about the problem that i have???

Well dejo answer that as well. You are essentially rewriting the modal view controller scheme when it seems like you don't have to. Is there a reason you are not using a modal view controller?

Learning to refer to language constructs in the same way as everyone else is generally useful as it helps avoid confusion.

Have you considered using the UIView animation callbacks (animationDidStopSelector: off of the top of my head - check the docs) to perform a selector when the flip animation has finished?

Personally I would step back and pick up a book and do some reading before moving forward. You're missing a huge foundation that will hurt you later on when trying to get an app approved. Programming is very similar to any other langauge, hence 'programming langauge'. Sure you may know a few words in french but that doesn't mean you can form a proper sentence.

Thx for the responses but don't you judge me for my coding I'm learning. I'm sure none of you just started knowing Objective C from nowhere.
This is my way of learning, by making a real project (application)

Nobody is judging you, we are simply giving you some useful advice.

Not trying to judge only trying to help you understand that a solid foundation is extermely important and overall your learning process will be shorter and easier.

Which isn't wrong just don't forget to read ->(edit:learn) the fundamentals.


Good luck
