How to display animation on login screen

Question

I have a basic login screen setup; logo, username, and password field. I had a designer make a cool animation for the logo and received it as an MP4 file.

I would like to make it so that when the user opens the app, or visits the login screen, the logo animation plays once in my view.

I was only able to find libraries to play MP4 files full screen or with a play button being triggered on the middle of the view with a close button on the top corners, similar to how you would watch a regular video on iPhone.

Anyone know how to play an embedded animation within a view just once? I could possibly ask for the animation in a different file format if theres another way.

Thanks!

Is it this one? https://github.com/movielala/VideoSplashKit – Vincent Sit Jan 08 '16 at 03:07 — Vincent Sit, Jan 08 '16 at 03:07

I think you can achieve this using .gif file in a better way.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    NSURL *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"test" withExtension:@"gif"];
    UIImage *testImage = [UIImage animatedImageWithAnimatedGIFData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url]];
    self.dataImageView.animationImages = testImage.images;
    self.dataImageView.animationDuration = testImage.duration;
    self.dataImageView.animationRepeatCount = 1;
    self.dataImageView.image = testImage.images.lastObject;
    [self.dataImageView startAnimating];
}

.gif file would play for only once & then last frame of that file would be stable.

Hope this would help..!!!

Keep in mind that the method described here will crash your device if the gif is is very large in terms of W x H or is too long. See this Q for more info http://stackoverflow.com/a/17225223/763355 — MoDJ, Jan 10 '16 at 23:57

You can use MPMoviePlayerController to play the movie. Refer to this post

iPhone SDK:How do you play video inside a view? Rather than fullscreen
