How can I add a blur background and popup view? - ios

Question

I wanted to have a blurred background and view popups in my application. But blur background and view is not appearing when I clicked my button.... can anyone please help me to achieve this task...
My codes are
- (IBAction)ButtonTouched:(id)sender {
if(!UIAccessibilityIsReduceTransparencyEnabled()){
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
UIBlurEffect *blurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleLight];
UIVisualEffectView *blureffectview = [[UIVisualEffectView alloc]initWithEffect:blurEffect];
blureffectview.frame = self.view.bounds;
blureffectview.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
//[self.view addSubview:blureffectview];
[self.view insertSubview:_AnimatedViewForLoading aboveSubview:blureffectview];
}else{
//self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
UIView * AnimatedViewForLoading;
// [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(118, 318, 200, 150)];
self.AnimatedViewForLoading.frame = CGRectMake(118, 318, 200, 150);
[self.AnimatedViewForLoading setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
self.AnimatedViewForLoading.alpha = 0.0f;
//AnimatedViewForLoading.backgroundColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor;
self.AnimatedViewForLoading.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.01, 0.01);
[self.view addSubview:self.AnimatedViewForLoading];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2 delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut animations:^{
self.AnimatedViewForLoading.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 1.1, 1.1);
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
NSLog(#"oopssssss..........");
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3/2 animations:^{
self.AnimatedViewForLoading.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
}];
}];
}

Problem
Why doesn't blur background appear? - Because you didn't add it to self.view
//[self.view addSubview:blureffectview];
Why doesn't AnimatedViewForLoading appear? - Because you added it to self.view before it's initialized and self.AnimatedViewForLoading.alpha is set to 0.0f
// self.AnimatedViewForLoading is hidden at this line
self.AnimatedViewForLoading.alpha = 0.0f;
// |_AnimatedViewForLoading| is initialized after this line
[self.view insertSubview:_AnimatedViewForLoading aboveSubview:blureffectview];
Solution
- (IBAction)ButtonTouched:(id)sender {
// UIView * AnimatedViewForLoading;
// [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(118, 318, 200, 150)];
self.AnimatedViewForLoading = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(118, 318, 200, 150)];
[self.AnimatedViewForLoading setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
// self.AnimatedViewForLoading.alpha = 0.0f;
//AnimatedViewForLoading.backgroundColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor;
// if(!UIAccessibilityIsReduceTransparencyEnabled()){
// self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
UIBlurEffect *blurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleLight];
UIVisualEffectView *blureffectview = [[UIVisualEffectView alloc]initWithEffect:blurEffect];
blureffectview.frame = self.view.bounds;
blureffectview.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
[self.view addSubview:blureffectview];
[self.view insertSubview:_AnimatedViewForLoading aboveSubview:blureffectview];
// }else{
//self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
// }
self.AnimatedViewForLoading.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.01, 0.01);
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2 delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut animations:^{
self.AnimatedViewForLoading.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 1.1, 1.1);
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
NSLog(#"oopssssss..........");
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3/2 animations:^{
self.AnimatedViewForLoading.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
}];
}];
}
