2,844 PointsviewDidLoad() Questions
Hey everyone! Hopefully someone can answer a question that I have. ViewDidLoad checks for the condition that the view loaded and executes commands that it contains if yes. Does viewDidLoad also come back true if I leave the app, then enter the app again?
I understand in the app.delegates file, that there are methods that check for when an app closes, goes to background and ect. But does viewDidLoad monitor that as well?
What got me thinking about that is because I built a small "war" card game in Xcode. I wrote the code myself and its a little different than I would imagine someone else to write it, but I have a line of code inside the viewDidLoad, that adds the numbers 1...52 into an array. At later parts of the game, numbers get removed from the array. If someone put the app in the background and opened it back up, would viewDidLoad activate causing the array to be filled again?
