Animation Not working

Hi I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.

@synthesize imageView;

  • (void)viewDidLoad

{ [super viewDidLoad];

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"background.png"];
self.imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: image];
[self.view insertSubview:self.imageView atIndex:0] ;

self.imageView.animationImages = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00001"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00002"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00003"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00004"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00005"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00006"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00007"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00008"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00009"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00010"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00011"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00012"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00013"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00014"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00015"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00016"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00017"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00018"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00019"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00020"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00021"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00022"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00023"],
                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"cball00024"], nil];

self.imageView.animationDuration = 1.0;
self.imageView.animationRepeatCount = 1;
  • (void) makePrediction { NSUInteger index = arc4random_uniform(self.predicitonArray.count); self.predictionLabel.text = [self.predicitonArray objectAtIndex:index]; [self.imageView startAnimating ];

}

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

Here is the code i have for this:

[super viewDidLoad];

self.imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: [UIImage imageNamed: @"background"]];
[self.view insertSubview: imageView atIndex:0];
self.imageView.animationImages = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00001"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00002"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00003"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00004"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00005"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00006"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00007"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00008"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00009"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00010"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00011"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00012"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00013"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00014"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00015"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00016"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00017"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00018"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00019"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00020"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00021"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00022"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00023"],
    [UIImage imageNamed: @"cball00024"],
    nil];
self.imageView.animationDuration = 1;
self.imageView.animationRepeatCount = 1;

Looks pretty much the same -- could the error be somewhere else?

The error could be some where else. But I am not sure where else. Any one else?

Found the issue I had the background image on both storyboard and viewDidLoad method. That was the issue once I removed it from the Story board it started to work.
