Calling ngAfterContentInit in parent class - Angular 2

I think that ngAfterViewInit() should be called after a component's view, and its children's views, are created. I tested this, and found that children's ngAfterViewInit()s are called before the parent's ngAfterViewInit(). Is it an expected behavior? I need a function in parent class which is called after ngAfterViewInit. How can I do this?

Regards

Yes, this is expected behavior. ngAfterViewInit() is called after the view is initialized. Children are part of the view, therefore it can't be called before childrens ngAfterViewInit().

You can try if ngAfterContentInit() matches your need, but I'd reconsider your approach. For example use a shared service with an observable to notify the parent about the status of the children.
