Curldown only fades in - why? - ios

In my -application:DidFinishLaunchingWithOptions, as the final part, I have this code:
[UIView animateWithDuration:1 delay:1 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut
animations:^{
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlDown forView:self.viewController.source cache:YES];
self.viewController.source.alpha = 1.0;
} completion:nil];
What it should do is "fade in the 'source' view and curl it down to cover the background"
Instead it just fades in the 'source' view, no curl.
Clues?

Solved:
It appears that parts of the animation loop isn't yet running at that point. Solution was to put the animation in a method, then from the application:DidFinishLaunchingWithOptions do

Would like to show a new view after a view animation is finished

I have a animation view. When the animation is finished I would like to show a new view by setting its hidden to false.
I set the hidden to false after the animation block code, but it seems like the animation is being done on a separate thread. The view gets unhidden while the animation block is still playing
// start animation block
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:2];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseOut ];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:mCards[r] cache:YES];
// mCards[0].image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"card.png"]; //begin
int id=TarretWheel[r];
mCards[r].image = gCardImages[id]; //end
// Start animtion
[UIView commitAnimations];
// show view
mBackground.hidden=false;
You can (and preferably should, actually), be using the newer block-based animation methods on UIView. Check out the following (it has a completion block which is just what you need):
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
}];
Edit:
There are other variants with options that you may want in your case.
Also, clarification on why you 'should' be using the block-based methods; from the docs (for beginAnimations:context:):
Use of this method is discouraged in iOS 4.0 and later. You should use
the block-based animation methods to specify your animations instead.
My answer is same as Joe but I would recommend using a different API which allows you with configure block.
[UIView animateWithDuration:2
delay:0.0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromLeft|UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut |
animations:^{
// mCards[0].image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"card.png"]; //begin
int id=TarretWheel[r];
mCards[r].image = gCardImages[id]; //end
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
mBackground.hidden=false;
}
];

Animation slows down as it ends

I have a translate animation, moving my button from A to B.
That route looks like this:
1) Button slowly accelerates
2) At the middle of animation gets to the peak of it's speed
3) Slows down as it approaches the end
This is my code
[UIView animateWithDuration:speed
delay:delay
options:UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction
animations:^(void){
[UIView setAnimationRepeatCount:5];
cloud.frame = (CGRectMake(cloud.frame.origin.x,
cloud.frame.origin.y+900, cloud.frame.size.width, cloud.frame.size.height));
}completion:nil];
I want my animation to have a same speed all the time.
How can I achieve this?
Add the UIViewAnimationOptionCurveLinear to your animation options, like this:
[UIView animateWithDuration:speed
delay:delay
options:UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction|UIViewAnimationOptionCurveLinear
animations:^(void){
[UIView setAnimationRepeatCount:5];
cloud.frame = (CGRectMake(cloud.frame.origin.x,
cloud.frame.origin.y+900, cloud.frame.size.width, cloud.frame.size.height));
}completion:nil];
I think you wanna try setting the "option" parameter to:
UIViewAnimationOptionCurveLinear

How UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState works with -[UIScrollView zoomToRect:animated:]?

I have UIScrollView which can zoom an UIView. One time I want to zoom out to the default state.
Here is my code.
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3
animations:^{
[scroll zoomToRect:self.view.bounds animated:NO];
} completion:nil];
Wow. It jumps like hell. Seems like it sets zoomScale = 1 and then animating the frame.
I'll add a line.
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3
delay:0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState
animations:^{
[scroll zoomToRect:self.view.bounds animated:NO];
} completion:nil];
Works just fine. So how UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState helps in this case? From help I know
Start the animation from the current setting associated with an already in-flight animation.
But there is NO in-flight animations.
I found answer, it looks expedient but work fine.
write animation code in other place use method like 'performSelector:'
then it recognize correct current state

How To dismiss SplashView in Pagecurl Style in iPhone?

I want to hide my Splash_View In Page curl Style, so that it can move to another class.
Default.png
Any Idea or suggestion from experts would be welcome.
Try this code:
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:2.0];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlUp forView:self.window cache:YES];
[UIView commitAnimations];
Splash_Image_View.hidden = YES;
You'll need to make the splash image part of the main view to animate it. In your main view controller, set up an IBOutlet for a UIImageView, I'll call it splashImageView. In the MainWindow.xib file, drag in a UIImageView with your splash image on it and hook it up to the outlet. Then in the viewDidAppear of your main view controller .m file, you'll need to do something like this:
[UIView transitionWithView:self.view duration:0.5 options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCurlUp animations:^{
splashImageView.hidden = YES;
} completion:NULL];
This will hide the splash view with a curl animation.
The simplest solution comes to mind is to load the same picture in your first [ViewDidLoad] and then doing something like this:
[UIView transitionWithView:self.view duration:0.4
delay:0.0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCurlUp
animations:^{
//hide splash here
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
}];

IOS: UIViewImage setAlpha problem

I have this code:
when image change alpha from 0.00 to 1.00 it is imediately and not in 3 seconds, why?
- (void) startAnimation{
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:3];
[successView setAlpha:1.00];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:3];
[successView setAlpha:0.00];
[UIView commitAnimations];}
Both animations are run in the same run cycle (that's how UIView animations work—all animations in one run cycle are "concatenated." You'll need to use
[UIView setAnimationDelay:3.0];
On the second animation.
Example Code
There are two ways to do this—using the standard begin/commit animations, or using the blocks method. This example uses the begin/commit animations code, which is what you have. The issue is because the animations are being concatenated, and without going into CA, the standard animation behavior is for one to be "forced" to end before the other runs. It has to do with run loops; Building Animation-Driven Interfaces from WWDC 2010 goes into depth about this. But the code to do what you want looks like this:
- (void)fadeOut {
[UIView beginAnimations:#"Animation2" context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:3];
[self.testView setAlpha:0.00];
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
- (IBAction)animate {
[UIView beginAnimations:#"Animation1" context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:3];
[self.testView setAlpha:1.00];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[self performSelector:#selector(fadeOut) withObject:nil afterDelay:3.0];
}
You have to force it to break up the run loop, basically. The key thing to remember is that animations are not executed sequentially, as you might expect code to be.
The blocks-based code looks like this. Note that I'm using the autorepeat option, which automatically repeats the animation. Note though that in the animation, you are setting a property, so by default after the animation completes the view will go back to being visible. Therefore, you have the set the property again to zero in the completion block.
- (IBAction)animate {
[UIView transitionWithView:self.testView duration:3.0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionAutoreverse animations:^{self.testView.alpha = 1.0;} completion:^(BOOL finished) {self.testView.alpha = 0.0;}];
}
Hopefully this helps!
