I am trying to animate a rotated label like this:
#IBOutlet fileprivate weak var loadingLabel: UILabel!
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
loadingLabel.transform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: CGFloat(0.2)) // rotation line
UIView.animate(withDuration: 2.0, animations: {
self.loadingLabel.transform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: 0, y: self.view.bounds.size.height)
})
}
When I comment out the rotation line of code (and keep the label unrotated), it works fine. But when I rotate it, the label starts off the screen at the beginning of the animation:
When I comment out the animation, the label is rotated perfectly fine (but no animation obviously):
How do I rotate the image and animate it, without having this weird placement?
Edit: To clarify: I want the label to start off rotated in the center of the screen, and just simply move the label. I do not want to rotate the image during the animation.
The correct answer is that you are supposed to concatenate the transformation matrices. If you don't want to do linear algebra then the easy way is that you use the transform to set the rotation and don't animate it, then animate the view's frame/center instead.
import UIKit
class V: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet var label: UILabel!
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
label.transform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: CGFloat.pi / 6)
label.center.x += 300
UIView.animate(withDuration: 2) {
self.label.center.x -= 300
}
}
}
You can perform the animation with CABasicAnimation as it will give you more control on the animation and it has a completion block on which you can hide your label as well upon your requirement.
loadingLabel.transform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: CGFloat(0.2)) // rotation line
let animationKey = "position.y"
CATransaction.begin()
let moveYAnimation = CABasicAnimation( keyPath: animationKey)
moveYAnimation.fromValue = loadingLabel.frame.origin.y
moveYAnimation.toValue = self.view.bounds.size.height
moveYAnimation.duration = 2
loadingLabel.layer.add( moveYAnimation, forKey: animationKey )
// Callback function
CATransaction.setCompletionBlock {
print("end animation")
self.loadingLabel.isHidden = true
}
// Do the actual animation and commit the transaction
loadingLabel.layer.add(moveYAnimation, forKey: animationKey)
CATransaction.commit()
Hope it will help you.
The first transform is ot of the animation block, it's why it begin out of the screen.
You should move it in the animation block, and use a completion handler to animate again.
UIView.animate(withDuration: 2.0, animations: {
//
}, completion: { (result) in
//
})
Be carefull, the angle is in radians.
I have a view (grey background) and another over it with a UITextField.
When I tap on the grey background, I want the view with the UITextField to disappear with an animation (move to top)
When I tap on the return key (virtual keyboard) the animation is smooth, but when I tap on the grey background, it disappears without animation. When I comment out the vueRecherche.isHidden = true in the completion, it's ok, but I want to hide it!
here is my function
private func fermeRecherche() {
if self.constraintVueRecherche_Top.constant == -5 {
return
}
self.txtRercherche.endEditing(true)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, animations: {
self.constraintVueRecherche_Top.constant = -5
self.vueFondGris.alpha = 0.0
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion: { termine in
self.vueRecherche.isHidden = true
self.vueFondGris.isHidden = true
})
}
with this call, the animation is smooth :
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
fermeRecherche()
}
but not with this one :
let tap=UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.tapFondGris(_:)))
vueFondGris.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
func tapFondGris(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
fermeRecherche()
}
any ideas?
Thanks

All I am trying to do is fade animate in a view (by alpha) when called by an IBAction attached to a button. Then reverse when a button on the view is hit.
My wrinkle may be that I'm using a secondary view that is on the ViewDock in the storyboard View. The view is added to the subview at the time of viewDidLoad where the frame/bounds are set to the same as the superview (for a full layover)
The reason this is done as an overlay view since it is a tutorial indicator.
The result (like many others who've listed this problem) is that the view (and contained controls) simply appears instantly and disappears as instantly. No fade.
I have tried animationWithDuration with delay, with and without completion, with transition, and even started with the old UIView.beginAnimations.
Nothing is working. Suggestions warmly welcomed.
The code is about as straight forward as I can make it:
Edit: Expanded the code to everything relevant
Edit2: TL;DR Everything works with the exception of UIViewAnimateWithDuration which seems to ignore the block and duration and just run the code inline as an immediate UI change. Solving this gets the bounty
#IBOutlet var infoDetailView: UIView! // Connected to the view in the SceneDock
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Cut other vDL code that isn't relevant
setupInfoView()
}
func setupInfoView() {
infoDetailView.alpha = 0.0
view.addSubview(infoDetailView)
updateInfoViewRect(infoDetailView.superview!.bounds.size)
}
func updateInfoViewRect(size:CGSize) {
let viewRect = CGRect(origin: CGPointZero, size: size)
infoDetailView.frame = viewRect
infoDetailView.bounds = viewRect
infoDetailView.layoutIfNeeded()
infoDetailView.setNeedsDisplay()
}
override func viewWillTransitionToSize(size: CGSize, withTransitionCoordinator coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {
super.viewWillTransitionToSize(size, withTransitionCoordinator: coordinator)
updateInfoViewRect(size)
}
func hideInfoView() {
AFLog.enter(thisClass)
UIView.animateWithDuration(
2.0,
animations:
{
self.infoDetailView.alpha = 0.0
},
completion:
{ (finished) in
return true
}
)
AFLog.exit(thisClass)
}
func showInfoView() {
AFLog.enter(thisClass)
UIView.animateWithDuration(
2.0,
animations:
{
self.infoDetailView.alpha = 0.75
},
completion:
{ (finished) in
return true
}
)
AFLog.exit(thisClass)
}
// MARK: - IBActions
#IBAction func openInfoView(sender: UIButton) {
showInfoView()
}
#IBAction func closeInfoView(sender: UIButton) {
hideInfoView()
}
Please note, I started with the following:
func showInfoView() {
UIView.animateWithDuration(2.0, animations: { () -> Void in
self.infoDetailView.alpha = 0.75
})
}
func hideInfoView() {
UIView.animateWithDuration(2.0, animations: { () -> Void in
self.infoDetailView.alpha = 0.00
})
}
If you infoDetailView is under auto layout constraints you need to call layoutIfNeeded on the parent view inside animateWithDuration:
func showInfoView() {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded() // call it also here to finish pending layout operations
UIView.animate(withDuration: 2.0, animations: {
self.infoDetailView.alpha = 0.75
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
})
}
Theoretically this should not be needed if you just change the .alpha value, but maybe this could be the problem in this case.
There are several strange things I can see,
first, remove:
infoDetailView.layoutIfNeeded()
infoDetailView.setNeedsDisplay()
Usually you don't need to call those methods manually unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Also, when you are changing the size:
infoDetailView.frame = viewRect
infoDetailView.bounds = viewRect
You never need to set both bounds and frame. Just set frame.
Also, you should probably make sure that the view actually doesn't ignore the frame by setting:
infoDetailView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true
Instead of resetting the frame, just set autoresize mask:
infoDetailView.autoresizingMask = [.FlexibleWidth, .FlexibleHeight]
Resulting in:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Cut other vDL code that isn't relevant
setupInfoView()
}
func setupInfoView() {
infoDetailView.alpha = 0.0
infoDetailView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true
infoDetailView.autoresizingMask = [.FlexibleWidth, .FlexibleHeight]
infoDetailView.frame = view.bounds
view.addSubview(infoDetailView)
}
func hideInfoView() {
...
}
I think this should actually help because immediate animations are often connected to size problems.
If the problem persists, you should check whether the infoDetailView in your animation is the same object as the infoDetailView you are adding to the controller.
For others looking to start an animation immediately when a view loads...
The animation won't work if you call UIView.animate(...) inside viewDidLoad. Instead it must be called from the viewDidAppear function.
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 3) {
self.otherView.frame.origin.x += 500
}
}
If the animation does not seem to execute then consider examining the state of each of your views, before you enter the animation block. For example, if the alpha is already set to 0.4 then the animation that adjusts your view alpha, will complete almost instantly, with no apparent effect.
Consider using a keyframe animation instead. This is what a shake animation in objective c looks like.
+(CAKeyframeAnimation*)shakeAnimation {
CAKeyframeAnimation *animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"transform"];
animation.values = #[[NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:CATransform3DMakeTranslation(-10.0, 0.0, 0.0)],
[NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:CATransform3DMakeTranslation(10.0, 0.0, 0.0)]];
animation.autoreverses = YES;
animation.repeatCount = 2;
animation.duration = 0.07;
return animation;
}
Here is a post that shows you how to adjust alpha with keyframes https://stackoverflow.com/a/18658081/1951992
Make sure infoDetailView's opaque is false.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIView_Class/#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UIView/opaque
This property provides a hint to the drawing system as to how it should treat the view. If set to true, the drawing system treats the view as fully opaque, which allows the drawing system to optimize some drawing operations and improve performance. If set to false, the drawing system composites the view normally with other content. The default value of this property is true.
Try Below code. Just play with alpha and duration time to perfect it.
Hide func
func hideInfoView() {
AFLog.enter(thisClass)
UIView.animateWithDuration(
2.0,
animations:
{
self.infoDetailView.alpha = 0.8
},

I've replicated your code and it work well, it's all ok.
Probably you must control constraints, IBOutlet and IBActions connections. Try to isolate this code into a new project if it's necessary.
Update: my code
and my storyboard and project folder photo:
Every object (view and buttons) are with default settings.
I've commented all AFLog lines (probably it's only any more "verbose mode" to help you) , the rest of your code is ok and it do what do you aspected from it, if you press open button the view fade in, and when you tap close button the view fade out.
PS Not relevant but i'm using xCode 7.3 , a new swift 2.2 project.
Use this code:
Swift 2
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3, animations: { () -> Void in
self.infoDetailView.alpha = 0.0
})
Swift 3, 4, 5
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, animations: { () -> Void in
self.infoDetailView.alpha = 0.0
})
Have you tried changing your showInfoView() to something more like toggleInfoView?
func toggleInfoView() {
let alpha = CGFloat(infoDetailView.alpha == 0 ? 1 : 0)
infoDetailView.alpha = alpha //this is where the toggle happens
}
It says that if your view's alpha is 0, then change it to 1. Else, make it 0.
If you need that to happen in an animation, try
#IBAction func openInfoView(sender: UIButton) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 2.0, animations: {
self.toggleInfoView() //fade in/out infoDetailView when animating
})
}
You'll still want to keep that infoDetailView.alpha = 0.0 where you have it, coming from the viewDidLoad.
For UILabel component try to changes layer's background color instead.
Try this (Tested on Swift 4):
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.2, animations: {
self.dateLabel.layer.backgroundColor = UIColor.red.cgColor;
})
Had a similar issue with animation not being performed.
Changed the function call use perform(aSelector: Selector, with: Any?, afterDelay: TimeInterval) in the form of perform(#selector(functionThatDoesAnimationOfAlphaValue), with: nil, afterDelay: 0) and it worked. Even with a TimeInterval set to 0.
In case someone else comes here wondering for a solution.
I want to rotate a UIImage, I have managed to do so with the code below, however when I press the rotate button again, the image does not rotate anymore, could someone please explain why?
#IBAction func rotate(sender: UIButton) {
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.2, animations: {
self.shape.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(CGFloat(M_PI_4) * 2)
})
}
You are changing your shape image view's transform to a new, fixed value. If you tap on it again, the transform already has that value. You set the transform to the same value again, which doesn't change anything.
You need to define an instance variable to keep track of the rotation.
var rotation: CGFloat = 0
#IBAction func rotate(sender: UIButton)
{
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.2, animations:
{
self.rotation += CGFloat(M_PI_4) * 2 //changed based on Daniel Storm's comment
self.shape.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(rotation)
})
}
That way, each time your tap the button you'll change the rotation variable from it's previous value to a new value and rotate to that new angle.
This is iPad app by using SWIFT. It having two views.
1. starting_View
2. login_View
These two views are in same ViewController.
starting_View will be first view. By Clicking, NEXT button in first View, Starting View will move to left side by using animateDuration and same time, login_View will come from right. If we click Username/password fields (Any TextField), it will navigates to previous view.
Same time,,
if login_View will be first screen means, textField is working, keyboard is appearing.
But in animateDuration, i couldn't type. Kindly help me. Am using XCODE 6.1.
Code (from comment):
#IBAction func getStart_button(sender: UIButton) {
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.7, delay: 0.25, options: .CurveEaseOut, animations: {
self.clt_login_vw.frame = CGRectMake(450, 56, 574, 660)
}, completion:nil)
}
In General try to never change frames directly when using Autolayout.
The best way to move views have been for me to use CGAffineTransform.
let move = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(translation_X , translation_Y)
and inside your animation closure:
self.clt_login_vw.transform = move
Then to return it back just do inside the animation Closure:
self.clt_login_vw.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity
Resume:
let moveOut = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(translation_X , translation_Y)
#IBAction func getStart_button(sender: UIButton) {
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.7, delay: 0.25, options: .CurveEaseOut, animations: {
[weak self] // Remember no not create cycles
self!.clt_login_vw.transform = moveOut
}, completion:nil)
}
Edit:
Im gonna add Noah Witherspoon's option.
Another way to do this is getting the constraint that is holding your view horizontally, once you get it, you change its constant and call layoutIfNeeded() inside the closure:
#IBAction func getStart_button(sender: UIButton) {
constraint.constant = newConstant // enough to make it off the screen
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.7, delay: 0.25, options: .CurveEaseOut, animations: {
[weak self] // Remember no not create cycles
self!.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion:nil)
}
The way to get the specific constraint, I'm more friend of making IBOutlets, so I get easily its reference in Code.
That is if you didn't make it by code.
