import the images you like to your bundle application called them image1.png, image2.png image3.png and so on....
Add UIImageview in interface builder call it (reference) "theImage"
in the H file:
@interface delme3ViewController : UIViewController {
UIImageView *theImage;
int imageCount;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIImageView *theImage;
@end
in the M file:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1
target:self
selector:@selector(animateFunction)
userInfo:nil
repeats:YES];
imageCount = 1;
}
-(void)animateFunction
{
NSLog(@"Timer heartbeat %i",imageCount);
imageCount = imageCount + 1;
NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"image%i.png"];
[theImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:imageName]];
}
Instead of using NSTimer, I would just use an arrary of UIImages and animate them. See the documentation from here.
you can also use array of image names rather renaming images in your bundle. :)
