How to fix this old frame glitch appearing when animating view? - ios

I have a Header view that contains pager view (FSPagerView), which has an item (FSPagerViewCell) that contains bar chart, 2019, year review texts. I'm trying to scale down Header at certain times with such code:
private func setSelfHeightAnimated(height: CGFloat)
{
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.2, animations: {
self.selfHeightAnchor.constant = height
self.superview?.layoutIfNeeded()
})
}
private func setPagerHeightAnimated(height: CGFloat)
{
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.2, animations: {
self.pagerHeightAnchor.constant = height
self.layoutIfNeeded()
// self.pagerView.layoutIfNeeded()
// self.pagerView.layoutSubviews()
// self.pagerView.cellForItem(at: 0)?.layoutIfNeeded()
// self.pagerView.cellForItem(at: 0)?.setNeedsDisplay()
// self.superview?.layoutIfNeeded()
// self.setNeedsDisplay()
// self.pagerView.setNeedsDisplay()
})
}
However, the old frame glitch is very visible. What could be missing? Here is the video: https://streamable.com/owsdi

You have an 1st layout and a 2nd layout, and an animation that leads from the 1st to the 2nd.
Currently, the 1st layout is faded out and the 2nd layout is faded in during the animation, which gives you the „glitch“.
I assume what you want to achieve is:
- The top part (History, 2019, Year review) should keep their height, and
- only the columns below should shrink/expand, while the lower table slides up or down.
A solution probably is that you animate only the height of a subview that contains the 2 columns.
If the header view is set to adopt its height to its contents, then I expect that the required effect is shown without a glitch.
EDIT:
If you definitively had to animate the upper part as a whole, one possibility may be (that I consider as ugly) to set the alpha value of History, 2019, and Year to 0 immediately before the animation begins. Then these texts would only fade in so the glitch with double images at different places would be avoided.

Try like this to avoid glitching.
private func setSelfHeightAnimated(height: CGFloat)
{
self.selfHeightAnchor.constant = height
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.2, animations: {
self.layoutIfNeeded()
self.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
})
}
private func setPagerHeightAnimated(height: CGFloat)
{
self.pagerHeightAnchor.constant = height
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.2, animations: {
self.layoutIfNeeded()
self.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
})
}

Slot machine animation using UITableView

I need to implement slot-machine animation according to provided design and timings.
It should perform infinite scroll, until some event will be triggered. After that animation, it should slow down and stop on defined position
For this task I have used next solution:
UITableView with fixed-height cell. It is the same cell with the only difference - icon or text (depends on indexPath.row)
Scroll is only down-to-up that's why I'm using last cell as start point in resetScrollPosition method
If first element reached, scroll position resets to start point
Animation performed as contentOffset change with linear option. In completion block, if animation is still needed, it's called again. If don't needed - slowing animation with easeOut option started
var isRolling: Bool = false
func startScroll() {
isRolling = true
UIView.animate(
withDuration: 0.05,
delay: 0,
options: .curveLinear,
animations: {
self.tableView.contentOffset.y -= self.rowHeight
},
completion: { _ in
if self.isRolling {
self.startScroll()
} else {
self.resetScrollPosition
UIView.animate(
withDuration: 0.7,
delay: 0,
options: .curveEaseOut,
animations: {
self.tableView.contentOffset.y -= 8 * self.rowHeight
},
completion: nil
)
}
})
}
private func resetScrollPosition() {
tableView.reloadData()
tableView.contentOffset.y = startOffset
tableView.reloadData()
}
func stopScroll() {
isRolling = false
}
The problems:
After calling resetScrollPosition, in animations completion block, tableviews contentOffset.y value is updated but tableView stays on the same position. I have tried to change direct contentOffset changing to setContentOffset, scrollToRow, scrollToRect, wrap it in main queue - no changes
Slowing animation should scroll 8 items. It's performed but first 6 items aren't visible during animation, only the last two.
Check the issue gif (jump 2 -> 11 is ok):
Replaced UITableView with UIScrollView

iOS - How To Fix This Animation In Table View Cell To Go Left and Then Back Again

The goal is to have the first table view cell content move left for a time and then back again.
The bigger goal is that we will bounce the cell's content view slightly to the left and bounce in a red box then return the cell to normal.
Although similar to another SO question, the answer does not reveal how to do this. Plus, this question would apply to anyone who wants to animate moving the cell content to the left temporarily and then back again. Thus, that's why it's a separate question.
The environment is iOS 11+ and iPhone app.
I have a new Table View project created that is animating the contentView moving via transform. However, it doesn't seem to remotely start in the normal position and then move as desired. The content starts off centered and then moves into place instead.
How can I get the contentView to animate moving a little to the left and then back again into its normal position?
Project: https://github.com/mikefinney/peekabooswipe
I rewrote your code a little. You were applying a transform to the content view and the documentation suggests instead animating the center property when shifting the location.
func applyCellAnimations() {
let originalCenter = contentView.center
let offsetCenter = originalCenter.applying(.init(translationX: -44, y: 0))
animateToCenter(offsetCenter) {
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1, execute: {
self.animateToCenter(originalCenter)
})
}
}
private func animateToCenter(_ center: CGPoint, completionHandler: #escaping () -> Void = { }) {
layoutIfNeeded()
UIView.animate(
withDuration: 1,
delay: 0,
options: [.curveEaseInOut],
animations: {
self.contentView.center = center
}, completion: { didComplete in
if didComplete { completionHandler() }
})
}

How to make a Tableview or another view move up while maintaining constraints to to the bottomlayout?

I want to have my tableview increase in size and moves up when scrolled down while also keeping the constraint to the bottom layout. I thought I would try CGAffineTransform.
func MoveUP() {
// pop up login screen
let bottom = CGAffineTransform(translationX: 0, y: -30)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.7, delay: 0.2, options: [], animations: {
// Add the transformation in this block
// self.container is your view that you want to animate
self.numberOfProperties.transform = bottom
self.tableview.transform = bottom
}, completion: nil)
}
The problem with this is that it moves up the tableview but does not keep the proper constraints to the bottom. Many apps seems to have this behavior, what tool am I missing in order to achieve this result?

Set back to original uilayoutconstraint - zoom in animation

Using a Storyboard, I have a height constraint with 2 size class (one for regular at 200pt, one for compact at 100pt).
Because I'm animating it when the view appears, the height of the element goes from 0 (initial state) -> 200pt for regular or 100pt for compact (final state).
It is a simple "zoomIn" animation.
But the thing is that because I change programmatically the constant, I'm losing the class sizes meaning when I rotate the phone, I have to set the constant to the right size instead of having Interface Builder's automatic class size.
So how would you apply an animation to an UIElement with auto-layout (and without having to create spaghetti code in viewWillLayoutSubviews, viewDidLayoutSubviews)?
Without your code, it's not clear exactly what you're doing, but here goes anyway :) First, the best way to animate when you are using autolayout is to animate the constraint changes, e.g.:
myConstraint.constant = myConstraintInitialConstant
UIView.animateWithDuration(animationSpeed) {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
The most important thing to note here is that the constraint change is outside the animation block, what you animate is layoutIfNeeded().
But you want to know what your initial constant was when the nib was loaded, yes? Then save it in viewDidLoad(), e.g.:
private var myConstraintInitialConstant: CGFloat = 65
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
myConstraintInitialConstant = myConstraint.constant
}
Did you try to play with the layoutIfNeeded() / layoutSubviews() methods ? This will update the frame of your UIElement after added new constraints to it
I had a top constraint set to 0 and I animate it like that :
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
// I reset my constraint's constant if already animate
if(topConst.constant > 0){
topConst.constant = 0
}
self.viewToAnimate.layoutIfNeeded()
//Animate the constraint
topConst.constant = 100
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.8, delay: 0.2, usingSpringWithDamping: 0.7, initialSpringVelocity: 0, options: .CurveEaseIn, animations: { () -> Void in
self.viewToAnimate.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion: nil)
}
I used layoutSubviews it works fine :D

UILabel decrease height, auto layout weird animation

I have expandable UILabel:
func expandDescriptionLabel() {
let calculatedHeightDescriptionLabel = lblDescription.sizeThatFits(CGSizeMake(lblDescription.frame.width, CGFloat.max)).height
expanded = true
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3, animations: {
self.cnsDescriptionHeight.constant = calculatedHeightDescriptionLabel
self.hideMoreButton()// this line means nothing, results are the same with this line commented out
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
})
}
func reduceDescriptionLabel() {
expanded = false
self.cnsDescriptionHeight.constant = 60
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3, animations: {
self.showMoreButton() // this line means nothing, results are the same with this line commented out
self.lblDescription.setNeedsLayout();
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
})
}
When expanding animation looks just fine, but when height is decreasing strange things happen. Look at GIF below. I tried already CGAffineTransformScale and putting UILabel in UIView and then animating a UIView.
Question is how to make the last part of animation more smooth.
As you can see when Labels height is decreasing, text is moving up and then suddenly appear in correct place(without animation).
