how to hide an image after seconds from its appearing ios

Question

so i used this code to show my image

  class ViewController: UIViewController {

   @IBOutlet var imageView: UIImageView!
  @IBAction func ness(_ sender: Any) {
      // when button tapped this code will execute
      imageView.isHidden = false
    }

   override func viewDidLoad() {
       super.viewDidLoad()
       imageView.isHidden = true   
   }

}

now i want the image to be invisible after seconds from its appearing and i want to do that for multiple times, should i double the same code for the otehr image views and other buttons ?

Answer 1

You can use this function

func hideImageAfterTime(time: CFTimeInterval , imageView: UIImageView) {
    DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + time) {
      imageView.isHidden = true
    }
  }

how to use

@IBAction func ness(_ sender: Any) {
      // when button tapped this code will execute
       hideImageAfterTime(time: 2, imageView: imageView)
    }
