Replace-root-view-controller custom segue with animation? - ios

I've got a custom UIStoryboardSegue subclass which just replaces the root view controller with the destination VC. Works exactly as I want it to... however, I'd like to be able to add a transition animation, and I can't find any good examples of how to do that in the context of replacing the root VC.
The -perform selector of my class is this:
-(void)perform {
UIViewController *source = (UIViewController *)self.sourceViewController;
source.view.window.rootViewController = self.destinationViewController;
}
...How do I add a nice animated transition?

There are numerous ways you could add a "nice animation". Here is an example of a sort of card shuffle animation where one view moves up and left, while the other moves down and right, then reverses after changing the z-order of the two views. This implementation inserts the destination controller's view into the window's view hierarchy under the source controller's view.
-(void)perform {
CGFloat dur = 1.0;
UIView *destView = [self.destinationViewController view];
UIView *srcView = [self.sourceViewController view];
CGFloat viewWidth = srcView.frame.size.width;
CGPoint center = srcView.center;
AppDelegate *appDel = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
destView.frame = srcView.bounds;
[appDel.window insertSubview:destView belowSubview:srcView];
[UIView animateWithDuration:dur animations:^{
srcView.frame = CGRectOffset(srcView.frame, -viewWidth/1.9, -20);
destView.frame = CGRectOffset(destView.frame, viewWidth/1.9, 20);
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[appDel.window bringSubviewToFront:destView];
[UIView animateWithDuration:dur animations:^{
destView.center = center;
srcView.center = center;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[srcView removeFromSuperview];
appDel.window.rootViewController = self.destinationViewController;
}];
}];
}

Custom Zoom Transition not working for a modal presentation

I am trying to create a Zoom Transition. I had it working totally fine when it was for a "push". Now I need to to work for a modal transition, and of course it can't just be a 2 min fix.
The transition is from one NavigationController to another. I still don't understand when the ViewController keys point to NavigationControllers, they should point to the actual ViewControllers?
This does exactly what I want but viewWillAppear on the presented controller is NEVER called and the NavigationBar doesn't feel like appearing either.
Please help me. I would give every point I have to get this answered!
Here is the animation method:
-(void)animateTransition:(id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext
{
UINavigationController *fromNav = (id)[transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextFromViewControllerKey];
UINavigationController *toNav = (id)[transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextToViewControllerKey];
UIViewController<SWZoomTransitionDelegate> *fromVC= (UIViewController<SWZoomTransitionDelegate> *)fromNav.topViewController;
UIViewController <SWZoomTransitionDelegate> *toVC = (UIViewController<SWZoomTransitionDelegate> *)toNav.topViewController;
UIView * containerView = [transitionContext containerView];
UIView * fromView = [fromVC view];
UIView * toView = [toVC view];
[containerView addSubview:toView];
UIView * zoomFromView = [fromVC viewForZoomTransition];
UIView * zoomToView = [toVC viewForZoomTransition];
UIImageView * animatingImageView = [self initialZoomSnapshotFromView:zoomFromView
destinationView:zoomToView];
if ([fromVC respondsToSelector:#selector(initialZoomViewSnapshotFromProposedSnapshot:)])
{
animatingImageView = [fromVC initialZoomViewSnapshotFromProposedSnapshot:animatingImageView];
}
animatingImageView.frame = [zoomFromView.superview convertRect:zoomFromView.frame
toView:containerView];
fromView.alpha = 1;
toView.alpha = 0;
zoomFromView.alpha = 0;
zoomToView.alpha = 0;
[containerView addSubview:animatingImageView];
ZoomAnimationBlock animationBlock = nil;
if ([fromVC respondsToSelector:#selector(animationBlockForZoomTransition)])
{
animationBlock = [fromVC animationBlockForZoomTransition];
}
[UIView animateKeyframesWithDuration:self.transitionDuration
delay:0
options:self.transitionAnimationOption
animations:^{
animatingImageView.frame = [zoomToView.superview convertRect:zoomToView.frame toView:containerView];
fromView.alpha = 0;
toView.alpha = 1;
if (animationBlock)
{
animationBlock(animatingImageView,zoomFromView,zoomToView);
}
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
if ([transitionContext transitionWasCancelled]) {
[toView removeFromSuperview];
[transitionContext completeTransition:NO];
zoomFromView.alpha = 1;
} else {
[fromView removeFromSuperview];
[transitionContext completeTransition:YES];
zoomToView.alpha = 1;
}
[animatingImageView removeFromSuperview];
}];
}
I had a similar issue with another project. Calling viewWillAppear: is definitely expected behavior, according to the WWDC session:
And so as an interactive transition starts, the machinery behind in UIKit is actually going to be making calls out to view will appear, view will disappear, will show view controller, all the stuff that you've normally used to kind of control what's happening in your application as things come on and off screen.
In my case, the issue was that the animator object was getting deallocated during the transition. I was setting up the animator like this:
- (id<UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>)animationControllerForPresentedController:(UIViewController *)presented
presentingController:(UIViewController *)presenting
sourceController:(UIViewController *)source {
AGBAnimator *animator = [AGBAnimator new];
return animator;
}
This object goes out of scope and is deallocated during the animation. By creating a strong property and assigning animator to it before returning from this method, the issue was resolved and viewWillAppear:, etc. was called successfully.

How do I update the StatusBar Style as part of a custom transition

I'm using the iOS 7 UIviewControllerAnimatedTransitioning protocol to present a modal ViewController with a custom animation. The animation works correctly, however, I want the newly presented ViewController to have a different status bar style than the presenting VC.
What I'm seeing is that -(UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle gets called on the PRESENTING ViewController (several times in fact) and never on the newly presented ViewController. If I remove the custom animation everything with the status bar works as I'd expect.
Is there something special I need to do in my animateTransition function to update the root view controller or something? I've tried manually setting the statusBar with [UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle but it doesn't work (I think because I'm using the ios 7 view controller based status bar styling).
This is my code for animateTransition:
- (void)animateTransition:(id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext
{
UICollectionViewCell *activeCell;
if ([self.collectionView.visibleCells containsObject:self.cellForActiveIdeaVC]) {
activeCell = self.cellForActiveIdeaVC;
}
UIView *container = transitionContext.containerView;
UIViewController *fromVC = [transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextFromViewControllerKey];
UIViewController *toVC = [transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextToViewControllerKey];
UIView *fromView = fromVC.view;
UIView *toView = toVC.view;
CGRect beginFrame;
if (activeCell) {
beginFrame = [container convertRect:activeCell.bounds fromView:activeCell];
} else {
beginFrame = CGRectMake(container.width / 2, container.height / 2, 0, 0);
}
CGRect endFrame = [transitionContext initialFrameForViewController:fromVC];
UIView *move = nil;
if (toVC.isBeingPresented) {
toView.frame = endFrame;
move = [toView snapshotViewAfterScreenUpdates:YES];
move.frame = beginFrame;
} else {
if (activeCell) {
move = [activeCell snapshotViewAfterScreenUpdates:YES];
} else {
move = [fromView snapshotViewAfterScreenUpdates:YES];
}
move.frame = fromView.frame;
[fromView removeFromSuperview];
}
[container addSubview:move];
[UIView animateWithDuration:.5
delay:0
usingSpringWithDamping:700
initialSpringVelocity:15
options:0
animations:^{
move.frame = toVC.isBeingPresented ? endFrame : beginFrame;
}
completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[move removeFromSuperview];
if (toVC.isBeingPresented) {
toView.frame = endFrame;
[container addSubview:toView];
} else {
if (self.cellForActiveIdeaVC) {
self.cellForActiveIdeaVC = nil;
}
}
[transitionContext completeTransition:YES];
}];
}
Any pointers much appreciated!
With iOS 7 custom transitions, it's possible to present a view controller that isn't fullscreen and therefore wouldn't affect the statusbar appearance. You have to explicitly tell iOS that your custom presented view controller will, in fact, control the status bar's appearance.
UIViewController *controllerToPresent = [...]
controllerToPresent.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyleCustom;
controllerToPresent.modalPresentationCapturesStatusBarAppearance = YES;
[self presentViewController:controllerToPresent animated:YES completion:nil];
There's some more information here. Hope that helps!
This worked for me:
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.25
delay:0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut
animations:^{
_preferredBarStyle = UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
[self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];
}];
And then you just have to return this value on the preferredStatusBarStyle method:
- (UIStatusBarStyle) preferredStatusBarStyle {
return _preferredBarStyle;
}
I hope it helps!

iOS 7 navigationBar repositioning after dismissViewController

I have a controller embedded in navigation controller. Let's say that i have a button that repositions self.navigationController.navigationBar a bit. Then i do presentViewControllerAnimated with any controller (doesn't matter if it's nav or not) and after dismissing it navigation bar returns to it's original position (actually it is at its original position at dismiss animation start). In iOS 6 and earlier the bar would not be repositioned automatically. Any idea how can i prevent this repositioning in iOS 7?
OK, so I finally got it right.
First of all - Apple does not want us to change position of UINavigationBar. Therefore you should avoid it at all cost. In my case i got an app to fix which moved UINavigationBar to show slide-out menu. The proper solution to slide-out menu problem is to put UINavigationController inside - then you can slide whole UINavigationController with its content (whatever it is) and everything works fine. For some reason UINavigationController was outside in this app. So, i had to resort to a hack. Do not use this method if you have ANY option not to use it. It's a hack, it might break in further iOS versions and Apple would certainly not appreciate it.
First, explore new transitioning system in iOS7: http://www.doubleencore.com/2013/09/ios-7-custom-transitions/
Then, replace:
[self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:nil];
with
if([UIApplication iOS7]) /* or any other custom iOS7 detection method you implement */
{ /* we simulate old transition with nav bar slided out */
navigationController.transitioningDelegate = [OMModalTransitionDelegate new];
}
[self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:nil];
So, we need a transition delegate to simulate standard behaviour and do the trick as well.
#import "OMModalTransitionDelegate.h"
#import "OMAnimatedTransitioning.h"
#implementation OMModalTransitionDelegate
- (id <UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>)animationControllerForPresentedController:(UIViewController *)presented presentingController:(UIViewController *)presenting sourceController:(UIViewController *)source
{
OMAnimatedTransitioning *transitioning = [OMAnimatedTransitioning new];
return transitioning;
}
- (id <UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning>)animationControllerForDismissedController:(UIViewController *)dismissed
{
OMAnimatedTransitioning *transitioning = [OMAnimatedTransitioning new];
transitioning.reverse = YES;
return transitioning;
}
#end
And now the actual animation manager (you have to implement sharedBar in a category on UINavigationBar yourself):
static NSTimeInterval const DEAnimatedTransitionDuration = 0.4f;
static NSTimeInterval const DEAnimatedTransitionMarcoDuration = 0.15f;
#implementation OMAnimatedTransitioning
- (void)animateTransition:(id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext
{
UIViewController *fromViewController = [transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextFromViewControllerKey];
UIViewController *toViewController = [transitionContext viewControllerForKey:UITransitionContextToViewControllerKey];
UIView *container = [transitionContext containerView];
UIView *superView = [UINavigationBar sharedBar].superview;
CGRect barFrame = [UINavigationBar sharedBar].frame;
if(self.reverse)
{ /* Trick - first, remove the bar from it's superview before animation starts */
[[UINavigationBar sharedBar] removeFromSuperview];
}
CGRect oldFrame = container.bounds;
if (self.reverse)
{
[container insertSubview:toViewController.view belowSubview:fromViewController.view];
}
else
{
toViewController.view.frame = oldFrame;
toViewController.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0, CGRectGetHeight(oldFrame));
[container addSubview:toViewController.view];
}
[UIView animateKeyframesWithDuration:DEAnimatedTransitionDuration delay:0 options:0 animations:^
{
if (self.reverse)
{
fromViewController.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0, CGRectGetHeight(oldFrame));
double delayInSeconds = 0.01; /* Trick - after an imperceivable delay - add it back - now it is immune to whatever Apple put there to move it */
dispatch_time_t popTime = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(delayInSeconds * NSEC_PER_SEC));
dispatch_after(popTime, dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void)
{
[UINavigationBar sharedBar].frame = barFrame;
[superView addSubview:[UINavigationBar sharedBar]];
});
}
else
{
toViewController.view.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
}
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[transitionContext completeTransition:finished];
}];
}
- (NSTimeInterval)transitionDuration:(id<UIViewControllerContextTransitioning>)transitionContext
{
return DEAnimatedTransitionDuration;
}
#end
In your custom navigation controller, add
- (void)viewWillLayoutSubviews {
//do your navigation bar layout
}
hope this can help you. Remind, above method only be supported ios >= 5.0.

presentViewController animation from side

I have a single view App and want to show a new ViewController when pressing a nav bar button in the right hand side. I call this VC by this code:
- (IBAction)createEntryButton:(id)sender {
CreateEntryViewController *vc2 = [[CreateEntryViewController alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:vc2 animated:TRUE completion:nil];
}
This animation, however, brings the vc2 in from the bottom which seems counter-intuitive according to my UI. So my question is:
How can I make my vc2 appear from the right instead of the bottom with presentViewController?
Thanks.
the cleanest would be to use a navigationController for pushing and popping views..
if you are already in a NavigationController
[self.navigationCtroller pushViewController:vc2 animated:TRUE completion:nil]
if you aren't, adapt the code where your view controller is added to the window. If your VC is the rootWindowController and you are not using storyboarding, this is likely in your AppDelegate
if you use storyboards, adapt the storyboard so you are inside a navigation controller
ELSE if you don't want that for any reason: :) just manually animate in the 2. VC's view using [UIView animate:vc2.view ....]
written inline -- method names don't match but shows general approach:
UIView *v = vc2.view;
CGRect f = v.frame;
f.origin.x += self.view.frame.size.width; //move to right
v.frame = f;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
v.frame = self.view.frame;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[self presentViewController:vc2 animated:NO completion:nil];
}];
in the completion block present the view controller vc2 non-animated as you already did that yourself
This helped me,
- (void)presentNewViewController{
NewViewController *objNewViewController =[[NewViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"NewViewController" bundle:nil];
UIView *tempNewVCView = [UIView new];
tempNewVCView = objNewViewController.view;
tempNewVCView.frame = self.view.frame;
CGRect initialFrame = self.view.frame;
initialFrame.origin.x = self.view.frame.size.width;
tempNewVCView.frame = initialFrame;
[self.view addSubview:tempNewVCView];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
tempNewVCView.frame = self.view.frame;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[self presentViewController:objNewViewController animated:NO completion:^{
}];
}];
}

wrong orientation on UIViewController while animating it

In order to use a UISplitViewController, I'm replacing my window root controller when navigating from one view controller to the other.
In order to have some nice transition while doing so, I'm using a zooming effect like this:
MyOtherViewController *controller = [[MyOtherViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MyOtherView" bundle:nil];
UIWindow *window = ((MyAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]).window;
controller.view.frame = [window frame];
controller.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.01,0.01);
controller.view.alpha = 0;
[window addSubview:controller.view];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2 animations:^{
controller.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1,1);
controller.view.alpha = 1.0;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
if (finished) {
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
window.rootViewController = controller;
}
}];
and this works pretty well, except that while doing the animation, the new view is always oriented as if in portrait mode, regardless of the current device orientation. When the animation is finished, the view orients itself correctly.
What am I missing?
Things I've tried:
putting my new controller view as the sole subview of the UIWindow
making my new controller the root view controller before the animation begins
A curious thing is that, if I do a recursiveDescription on the window at the beginning of my method, the window frame is defined as having a size of 768x1024 (i.e., portrait), and the view inside it of 748x1024 but with a transform of [0, -1, 1, 0, 0, 0] (does this mean a rotation or what? Shouldn't it be the identity transform?)
UIWindow doesn't rotate. It has a rotated view inside of it (as you've seen). In this case, though, I think the problem is likely that your view has a transform on it already at this point, and you need to concatenate with it rather than replace it as you're doing in your setTransform: calls.
You shouldn't be asking the app delegate for the window, you should be getting the window from the view (self.view.window).
If at any point you're attaching your view to the window itself, rather than putting it inside the rotation view, then you'll need to know the effective transform of the view you want to match by walking the hierarchy:
- (CGAffineTransform)effectiveTransform {
CGAffineTransform transform = [self transform];
UIView *view = [self superview];
while (view) {
transform = CGAffineTransformConcat(transform, [view transform]);
view = [view superview];
}
return transform;
}
I finally figured out what was wrong. Since the frame is not a real property but a sort of calculated one, based on the values of the view bounds and the view transform, I needed to set the frame after setting the same transform as the current view, and before setting the transform again to set up the initial state of the animation. Also, the frame I need to set is the same one as the current view is currently using, as it is taking into account the window orientation (or lack thereof, as Rob Napier pointed)
So, without further ado, here's the working code:
MyOtherViewController *controller = [[MyOtherViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MyOtherView" bundle:nil];
UIWindow *window = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
CGAffineTransform t = self.view.transform;
controller.view.transform = t;
controller.view.frame = self.view.frame;
controller.view.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(t,.01,.01);;
[window addSubview:controller.view];
controller.view.alpha = 0;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2 animations:^{
controller.view.transform = t;
controller.view.alpha = 1.0;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
if (finished) {
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
window.rootViewController = controller;
[controller release];
}
}];
