View Transitions CGAffine & animateWithDuration Animation Blocks
don't forget to set options to:UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction to allow operation of buttons & other controls.
The following snippet provides a multiple move/scale transition for a view, label, whatever;
Moves a label & scales to 50%
- (void)transformTime //performs scale & translate transition
{
CGAffineTransform transformTranslate = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(-330.0, 15.0);
CGAffineTransform transformScale = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.5, 0.5);
CGAffineTransform transformClock = CGAffineTransformConcat(transformScale, transformTranslate);
[self.clockLabel setTransform:transformClock];
[self.dateLabel setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(-330.0, 0.0)];
}
Performs the animations a Fade In/Out and a Move/Scale AffineTransform
// transitions to weather OR forecast
if ([sender.titleLabel.text isEqualToString:@"Weather"]) {
if (!weatherShowing) {
self.weatherView.center = CGPointMake(512.0, 618.0);
weatherShowing = YES;
weatherButton.selected = YES;
clockShowing = YES;
radioShowing = NO;
forecastShowing = NO;
[UIView animateWithDuration:1.5 delay:1.0 // Fading of views
options:UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction
animations:^{
self.weatherView.alpha = 1.0;
self.radioView.alpha = 0.0;
self.forecastView.alpha = 0.0;
}
completion: NULL];
[UIView animateWithDuration:1.5 delay:0.0 // transform of clock label
options:UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction
animations:^{
[self transformTime];
}
completion: NULL];
