Check if timer is finished - swift

Question

I'm sandboxing a little timer app.
I'm using this cocoapod
This is my code so far:
import UIKit
import CountdownLabel
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var moreBtn: UIButton!
#IBOutlet weak var lessBtn: UIButton!
#IBOutlet weak var gifview: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var countdownLabel: CountdownLabel!
var mins = 25
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
setupCountdown()
updateTimer(min: mins)
}
// MARK: Buttons
#IBAction func startPressed(_ sender: Any) {
countdownLabel.start()
}
#IBAction func lessPressed(_ sender: Any) {
if(mins > 0){
mins = mins - 5
updateTimer(min: mins)
}
}
#IBAction func morePressed(_ sender: Any) {
mins = mins + 5
updateTimer(min: mins)
}
//MARK: Helper Func
func updateTimer(min: Int){
countdownLabel.setCountDownTime(minutes: 60*Double(min))
}
func setupCountdown(){
countdownLabel.textColor = .black
countdownLabel.font = UIFont(name:"Courier", size:UIFont.labelFontSize)
countdownLabel.animationType = .Evaporate
}
}
Now I want to check if the timer is finished (can use this cocoapod built in function: countdownLabel.isFinished() ).
But I have no clue WHERE and HOW I can check this, e.g. in viewDidLoad() I can’t check .isFinished()....
As an example: if(countdownLabel.isFinished()){countdownLabel.text = "Finished"}
WHERE to insert this line in the code??
I would be very happy if you can quickly copy and paste the code as an answer - with the mentioned line correctly inserted :)
Thank you!

Answer 1

You can use delegate method countdownFinished() of CountdownLabel to check when counter finished as mentioned in the example of this pod. Your updated code as below
import UIKit
import CountdownLabel
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var moreBtn: UIButton!
#IBOutlet weak var lessBtn: UIButton!
#IBOutlet weak var gifview: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var countdownLabel: CountdownLabel!
var mins = 25
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
setupCountdown()
updateTimer(min: mins)
}
// MARK: Buttons
#IBAction func startPressed(_ sender: Any) {
countdownLabel.start()
}
#IBAction func lessPressed(_ sender: Any) {
if(mins > 0){
mins = mins - 5
updateTimer(min: mins)
}
}
#IBAction func morePressed(_ sender: Any) {
mins = mins + 5
updateTimer(min: mins)
}
//MARK: Helper Func
func updateTimer(min: Int){
countdownLabel.setCountDownTime(minutes: 60*Double(min))
}
func setupCountdown(){
countdownLabel.textColor = .black
countdownLabel.font = UIFont(name:"Courier", size:UIFont.labelFontSize)
countdownLabel.animationType = .Evaporate
countdownLabel.countdownDelegate = self //>>>>>> added this line to your code
}
}
//>>>>>>added this function to your code
extension ViewController: CountdownLabelDelegate {
func countdownFinished() {
debugPrint("countdownFinished at delegate.")
}
}

I think what you are looking for is a 'listener' for when it reaches 0 ("Finished")
From the docs (they only show on various times, though for 0 you should use
countdownLabel.then(0) { [unowned self] in
countdownLabel.text = "Finished"
}
