Stop animation in UICollectionView cell - ios

I have a timer that fires every second to refresh data on a UICollectionView cell, sometimes (especially when I rotate the device), the cell starts to blink every second. I want to stop this blink animation. However, I have another animation going on inside the collection view cell, so I don't want to disable all animations on it as this code does:
[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO];
[collectionView performBatchUpdates:^{
[collectionView reloadItemsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths];
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:YES];
}];

If you don't want animation on reloading collection view, why don't you just call
[collectionView reloadData];
It only reloads all visible cells.
For the animation inside of the collection view cell, why not code more in the cell object?

Animation when remove UICollectionViewCell

I have collection view, and have logic to delete cells from it. However, when cell is removed, next cell is appeared instantly on deleted cell place. Is there a way to add animation for deletion, for example, for 0.5 sec change opaque of cell, or something similar? There is a method i use for delete cell:
-(void)aMethod:(UIButton*)sender{
[self.viewModel deleteAt:[sender tag]];
[self.myCollectionView reloadData];
}
You have to use:
[UIView performWithoutAnimation:^{
[self.myCollectionView reloadData];
}];

UITableView ReloadData Animate Cell UI

In my tableview I need to animate the UI of every cell as the tableview reloads its data.
This needs to a custom animation, not just a fade or default transition.
For example, When tapping the 'Edit' button, in my view, the tableview reloads and each cell updates its UI for this new edit mode.
However, during this reload I have tried using a UIView animation block to update a constraint on a UILabel in my cells, but it will not animate.
Here is the code I run when I call reloadData on my tableview. This is called in cellForRowAtIndexPath method.
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3f delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn animations:^
{
//does not animate
_lblContainerLeftConstraint.constant = 18;
[self setNeedsLayout];
//does animate
_reorderIcon.alpha = 0.5f;
} completion:nil];
I think you need to do this in willDisplayCell rather than cellForRowAtIndexPath since that is called just before display which is as close as you can get to the point it actually appears on screen.
Then set the new constraint value before the animation block and also call [cell.contentView setNeedsLayout] to indicate that layout is needed on the cell content.
Finally only add [cell.contentView layoutIfNeeded] and your alpha change in the animation block which should animate the constraint change over your time period.

Animate UITableViewCell content with AutoLayout when cell appears

I have a UITableView displaying cells. I am using Auto Layout. At some point, I add cells to a section of my tableView and I need to animate a subview of each cells as soon as the cells are visible.
I wrote the following method to animate the content of my cell:
- (void)animateWithPercentage:(NSNumber *)percentage
{
self.progressViewWidthConstraint.constant = [percentage intValue];
[self.progressView setNeedsUpdateConstraints];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.6f animations:^{
[self.progressView layoutIfNeeded];
}];
}
The method works as expected but I don't know when to call it.
If I call it when - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath is called, I end up animating the whole layout of my cell because the cell did not layout itself before.
I also tried calling it in layoutSubviews but the animation is skipped. I guess at this point it is too early to animate anything.
Any idea where my method should be called?
I've gotten this kind of animation to work by calling performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: in either awakeFromNib or didMoveToSuperview in the custom cell's class. It works even with a delay of 0, but it doesn't work if you just use performSelector. I've noticed that with this method, if some of the cells are off screen, they don't update until they are scrolled on, and the scrolling animation ends. You can get the animation to start as soon as the cell scrolls on screen, even while the scrolling animation is still in progress by using dispatch_async instead.
-(void)awakeFromNib {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[UIView animateWithDuration:2 animations:^{
self.rightCon.constant = 150;
[self.contentView layoutIfNeeded];
} completion:nil];
});
}
Try to put your method in -(void)didMoveToSuperview

Disable UICollectionView animation on reloadData

For some reason, my UICollectionView animates the transition inside the visible cell when calling reloadData.
From what I understood it shouldn't do that, and that's what I am trying to do.
Why would the collection view animate on reload data? And how could I stop it?
I will be eventually using [UIView setAnimationsEnabled:YES/NO], but I would be hoping to fix it without too much extra code.
[UIView performWithoutAnimation:^{
[self.collectionView reloadSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0]];
}];

IOS UITableview how to take action after table animations complete

How can I cause action to be taken upon completion of a UITableview's animation?
I'm attempting to shrink a UITableview cell and remove a subview of the cell that's not visible after the shrinkage. To shrink the cell, I'm calling [tableview beginUpdates] and [tableview endUpdates], and changing the height of the cell as returned by theheightForRowAtIndexPath datasource method of the UITableview.
The challenge is, i need the tableview to complete shrinking so the subview is out of sight before I can remove the subview. if I put the code to remove the subview from the cell right after (or before or between) the to call [tableview endUpdates] then the subview is removed too soon (it doesn't wait for the animation) and it looks funny.
My thought is i'd like to be able to setup a callback that runs upon completion of the animation, and remove the subView in the callback
What about this?
[CATransaction begin];
[CATransaction setCompletionBlock:^{
// animation has finished
}];
[tableView beginUpdates];
// shrink the cells
[tableView endUpdates];
[CATransaction commit];
Try Using NSNotifications class. Post Notifications when something is about to happen, and later after something has happened. You can use a bool in the same notification method to toggle between 'about to happen' and 'has happened'.
