UILabel disappears after animateWithDuration - ios

Question

I've got a UILabel that slides in and out of view, but after it slides back in it disappears. I want it to persist.
How can I achieve this? Also, why does this happen?
Here's the code:
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.1
delay:0.0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionAutoreverse
animations:^{
[self.listLabel setFrame:CGRectMake(325, 141, 320, 181)];
}
completion:nil];
Thanks.

Answer 1

In official documentation
UIViewAnimationOptionAutoreverse
Run the animation backwards and forwards. Must be combined with the UIViewAnimationOptionRepeat option.

Why don't you use UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut and UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn animation option for your label?
Just set your label's frame.origin.x = [outside the right side of it's superview's bound]
and set it back to it's original position when you want to slide-In again using EasyOut animation.
Here's something what I'm talking about...
CFRect frame = self.listLabel.frame;
//Point to hide your label by sliding it outside the right side of it's parent's view.
// mask or clipToBounds of parent's view must be YES
frame.origin.x = [self.listLabel.superview.frame.size.width];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.1
delay:0.0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn
animations:^{
[self.listLabel setFrame:frame];
}
completion:nil];
And When you want to slide back in, use opposite animation and label's original position, of course you need to store it's original position somewhere so you could slide-in it back.
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.1
delay:0.0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut
animations:^{
[self.listLabel setFrame:label_original_frame];
}
completion:nil];

UIViewAnimationOptionAutoreverse is designed for a cyclical animation. To just bounce something offscreen and back, you should just write it as 2 animations:
CGRect originalFrame = self.listLabel.frame;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.05
delay:0.0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionLayoutSubviews
animations:^{
[self.listLabel setFrame:CGRectMake(325, 141, 320, 181)];
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.05
delay:0.0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionLayoutSubviews
animations:^{
[self.listLabel setFrame:originalFrame];
}
completion:nil];
}
];

As there still seems to be no valid answer, I propose a (now possible) approach:
In Xcode 6, with the app running in the simulator, go to "Debug" in the top bar, select "View Debugging" and "Capture View Hierarchy". Then go and search your missing Label. You can also see properties etc. of the Label in the right Xcode bar.
