Calcul height of uiview after animating this one - ios

I have an animation who modify the constraint of an UIView and i need to know the size of this UIView after animate this, but before the animation begin...
storyboard
When the user scroll the UITableView I update the heightConstraint of the black UIView, I need the height after update the UIView because i need in the function viewDidLayoutSubviews to fixe the height of the Yellow UIview.
this is the code I use for animate the UIView:
self.headerIsCollapsed = true
self.heightProfilView.constant -= (self.view.bounds.height / 5)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
self.imageUserProfil.layer.opacity = 0
})
and i need the value here :
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
heightTopBar.constant = // here i need the height of the UIView after animating this
}
So, the question is: How I can pre-calculate the height of the UIView after animating this ?

Simply use a completion block of UIView.animate()
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
self.imageUserProfil.layer.opacity = 0
}) { (finished) in
// get the view's height after animation here
}
Unless you specified duration as 0, the completion block will execute after animation sequence ends.

Try this:
self.headerIsCollapsed = true
//create this property at instance level in your viewcontroller class
self.heightBeforeAnimation = self.heightProfileView.frame.size.height
self.heightProfilView.constant -= (self.view.bounds.height / 5)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
self.imageUserProfil.layer.opacity = 0
}){ (isCompleted) in
//create this property at instance level in your viewcontroller class
self.heightAfterAnimation = self.heightProfileView.frame.size.height
}
and call whatever function and use the value of two variables containing value of height before and after animating your view.

UILabel numberOfLines change with animation

I have a UILabel inside a UIStackView, and the stack view is inside another UIScrollView, I'm using auto layout. The label has single line (ie. numberOfLines equal to 1) and in a few cases I need to set it to multiline (ie. numberOfLines equal to 0) with an animation that expands it.
func expand() {
label.numberOfLines = 0
}
when I click expand:
messageView.expand()
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) {
self.layoutIfNeeded()
}
However, when it expands, the label's frame isn't updated and I have to scroll (the scroll view) to make it fully visible. What could be wrong?
Thanks!
Have you changed the label's text?
Check if the autolayout is correct
Animation of UILabel doesn't perform within
UIView.animate(withDuration:).
This should work:
UIView.transition(with: label, duration: 0.5, options: .transitionCrossDissolve, animations: {
self.label.numberOfLines = 0
})
You can experiment with options and execution block.

Setting ScrollView Height issue when UICollectionView is nested

I Need to adjust a child collection view height when I've calculated what it's parent scrollView should be. The height calculation produces the correct value but I can't get the "Grand child" collectionView to adjust itself.
All the constraints inside the storyBoard are tied to the scrollView container view height so when I adjust it's value they all should follow in line and adjust themselves.
The flow is:
UIScrollView -> UICollectionView -> UICollectionView
My calculation is:
var count: CGFloat = 370
guard let currentLegs = active.legs![cell].feet else { return }
for _ in currentLegs {
count += 70
}
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0, options: .curveEaseOut, animations: {
if count > 540 {
self.scrollView.contentSize.height = count
} else {
self.scrollView.contentSize.height = 540
}
}, completion: nil)
print(count)
The above calculates the height and defaults to another value if it's smaller than I need.
I've tried setting the scrollview.layoutIfneeded() & setNeedsLayout() but these cause the collectionView to redraw itself resulting in a crash.
Is it possible to adjust a "grand child" collection view from the top level?
Thanks
Try this
#IBOutlet weak var scrollViewHeightConstarint: NSLayoutConstraint!
.....
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
self.scrollViewHeightConstarint.constant = <#WhatYouNeed#>
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}

Animate constraints and frame at the same time

I want to override the perform method of an UIStoryboardSegue subclass.
Therefore I will have to animate constraints and frames of different objects using UIView.animateWithDuration.
Is it possible, to do such animations of constraints and frames in one UIView.animateWithDuration method?
Can you post an example?
Use layoutIfNeeded() to animate constraint.
view.layoutIfNeeded()
constraintToAnimate.constant = 0
UIView.animate(withDuration: 1.0, animations: { () -> Void in
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}

Any reasons why my UIView does not change if I set different constrains?

I have an UIView inside my normal UIView. This is my code:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
print(canvasUnder.frame.origin.y)
let getRelativePosition = view.frame.size.height * 0.25
canvasUnder.frame.origin.y = canvasUnder.frame.origin.y + getRelativePosition
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
print(canvasUnder.frame.origin.y)
print(getRelativePosition)
}
It does however stays at the original position. This is my print:
240.0
320.0
80.0
How can this be? Thank you. edit: this is what I want: My UIView that I want to change has a height of * 0.25 of the root view. I want that my UIView is right off the boundaries of my root view, so it needs to be 25% of the root views height, followed by a constrained movement that will push my UIView down.
Edit 2: I managed to to this, this way:
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
print("called")
let getRelativePosition = view.frame.size.height * 0.25
self.CanvasUnder.frame.origin.y = self.CanvasUnder.frame.origin.y + getRelativePosition
}
However this method get called each and every time something changed. I just want that my canvasUnder is just right off the screen when the view is presented. Then, whenever I want, I want to animate that UIView to pop up. I want to use this code:
let getRelativePosition = view.frame.size.height * 0.25
self.CanvasUnder.frame.origin.y = self.CanvasUnder.frame.origin.y - getRelativePosition
UIView.animate(withDuration: 1.0, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
})
Or putting the change of frame inside the animate function will not work. It just keeps triggering the viewDidLayoutSubviews method which will hide again my UIView.
So how can I just hide that view right under my root view, and pop it up with an slide up animation which will take 1 second?
"this is what I want: My UIView that I want to change has a height of
* 0.25 of the root view. I want that my UIView is right off the boundaries of my root view, so it needs to be 25% of the root views
height, followed by a constrained movement that will push my UIView
down."
This is exactly what auto layout and constraints are for, so you don't have to constantly be calculating sizes.
Use constraints to "pin" your view to left, right and bottom of its superview, then set it's Height Equal to Superview Height, with a multiplier (ratio) of 1:4
That will keep its height at 25% of the "root view" and will keep it "stuck" to the bottom.
No code needed :)
To animate the view in-and-out, add an IBOutlet to the Bottom constraint, and use this code...
class TestViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var trayBottomView: UIView!
#IBOutlet weak var trayBottomConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
// hide the "tray" view
trayBottomView.isHidden = true
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
// constraints and frame sizes are fully calculated by AutoLayout here, so...
// move the tray offscreen (below the view), and "un-hide" it
self.trayBottomConstraint.constant = -self.trayBottomView.frame.height
self.trayBottomView.isHidden = false
// this first part will just put the tray view into position, below the screen
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.01, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion: { (finished: Bool) in
// now, set the tray Bottom constraint to 0, so it will end up "sitting" on the bottom of the screen
self.trayBottomConstraint.constant = 0
// animate it into view - use delay to "wait a bit" before sliding the view up
// duration of 0.75 (3/4 of a second) may be too slow, just tweak as desired
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.75, delay: 0.25, options: UIViewAnimationOptions.curveEaseInOut, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion: nil)
})
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#IBAction func buttonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
// if the tray Bottom Constraint is Zero, that means it is visible, so
// set it to -(its own height) to position it offscreen, below the view
// otherwise, it is already offscreen, so set it to Zero to bring it back up
if self.trayBottomConstraint.constant == 0 {
self.trayBottomConstraint.constant = -self.trayBottomView.frame.height
} else {
self.trayBottomConstraint.constant = 0
}
// animate it in or out of view
// duration of 0.75 (3/4 of a second) may be too slow, just tweak as desired
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.75, delay: 0.0, options: UIViewAnimationOptions.curveEaseInOut, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
})
}
}
Any reasons why my UIView does not change if I set different constraints?
You are not changing constraints. You are saying canvasUnder.frame.origin.y. That is not a change of constraint. It is a change of frame. But you cannot directly change the frame if the view is positioned by constraints! The constraints are what positions the view, not the frame.
How can this be?
Because you change the frame, and it does change just at that little moment. But by the time you see the view, the constraints have changed it back again!
When you call self.view.layoutIfNeeded() it is triggering your view to relayout. It is being moved either by auto layout, or layout code in your viewWillLayoutSubviews/viewDidLayoutSubviews functions.
Rather then updating the frame directly, either update the constraint, eg:
canvasUnderHeightConstraint.constant = view.frame.size.height * 0.25
Or, a better solution would be to use the multiplier field of the constraint to get your desired result.
NSLayoutConstraint(item: view,
attribute: .height,
relatedBy: .equal,
toItem: canvasUnder,
attribute: .height,
multiplier: 0.25,
constant: 0)

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
