Loading controller .dismiss()

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

Im sure Im missing something simple.

I have a subscription that returns a boolean. When I subscribe to it the first time, the loading boolean is ‘true’ but when the loading is completed, it return ‘false’.

So why does my loading screen not disappear?

ngOnInit() { 
    this.isLoading$ = this.store.let(fromRoot.getIaReportsIsLoading);
    this.isLoading$.subscribe((currentLoading: boolean) => {
        this.presentLoading(currentLoading)
    })
}

 presentLoading(isLoading: boolean) {
    let loader = this.loadingCtrl.create({
        content: "Please wait while we load all Interaction Reports and Clients for you...",
    });
    console.log('currentLoading', isLoading)
    isLoading ? loader.present() : loader.dismiss();

Edit: I changed the scope of the loading controller, but this did nothing for the dismissal behaviour.

 presentLoading(isLoading: boolean) {
    this.loader = this.loadingCtrl.create({
        content: "Please wait while we load all Interaction Reports and Clients for you...",
    });
    console.log('currentLoading', isLoading)
    isLoading ? this.loader.present() : this.loader.dismiss();
};

Everything else is the same

EDIT2: Im almost positive that this is context issue. So I tried this:

ngOnInit() { 
    this.isLoading$ = this.store.let(fromRoot.getIaReportsIsLoading);
    this.presentLoading();
};

 presentLoading() {
    this.isLoading$.subscribe((currentLoading: boolean) => { 
        let loader = this.loadingCtrl.create({
            content: "Please wait while we load all Interaction Reports and Clients for you...",
        });
        console.log('currentLoading', currentLoading)
        currentLoading ? loader.present() : loader.dismiss();
    });
};

And that didn’t work.

I know that currentLoading is initially ‘true’ and then after loading is finished, it turns to ‘false’. And I know that the conditional is firing properly, but the loader.dismiss() is not closing the loader. Am I creating another instance unintentionally that I need to close as well?

Anybody here with experience in Loading Controller tied to an observable boolean value?

Try loader.dismissAll() instead of dismiss()

Why not maybe trying the “contrary” (something like following)?

loader.present().then(() => {
  this.isLoading$.subscribe((currentLoading: boolean) => {
      loader.dismiss();
  });
});

Thanks all for the help @reedrichards and @garrykapoor! I got it working with this:

ngOnInit() { 
    this.initLoader();
    this.isLoading$ = this.store.let(fromRoot.getIaReportsIsLoading);
    this.isLoading$.subscribe((currentLoading: boolean) => { 
        currentLoading ? this.presentLoader() : this.closeLoader()
    });
};

initLoader(){
    this.loader = this.loadingCtrl.create({
        content: "Please wait while we load all Interaction Reports and Clients for you...",
    });
};
presentLoader() {
    this.loader.present()
};
closeLoader(){
    this.loader.dismiss();
}

In my case the loader was dismissing even before the operation was complete.
I need to show loader till the operation was ended, please suggest me.

Below is my code

downloadSites(SitesDetails) {
let loader = this.loadingctrl.create({
      content: 'Please wait while we load all Interaction Reports and Files for you...'
    });
 loader.present().then(() => {
 if (SitesDetails != null) {
//my code here
}
});
loader.dismiss();
}

got this issue solved by declaring var loading=this.loading
