I have a button which I would like to animate the background color as if it is filling from the bottom to the top.
Right now I'm just changing the color with animation
i.e
[UIView animateWithDuration:2.0 animations:^{
button.layer.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
} completion:NULL];
This works just fine but I'd love the animation to fill from the bottom up like it is filling up with liquid.
EDIT: not sure if it makes a difference but the button is round
Try this. Here btn is the outlet to your button and v is the view we will be adding to your button for animation purpose.
UIView *v = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, [self btn].frame.size.height,
[self btn].frame.size.width, [self btn].frame.size.height)];
[v setBackgroundColor:[UIColor purpleColor]];
v.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
v.exclusiveTouch = NO;
[[self btn] addSubview:v];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.45 animations:^{
CGRect currentRect = v.frame;
currentRect.origin.y = 0;
[v setAlpha:1];
[v setFrame:currentRect];
[[self btn] sendSubviewToBack:v];
}];
Swift
version of Avi answer.
let v = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: self.btn.frame.size.height,
width: self.btn.frame.size.width,
height: self.btn.frame.size.height))
v.backgroundColor = .purple
v.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
v.isExclusiveTouch = false
self.btn.addSubview(v)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.45) {
var currentRect = v.frame
currentRect.origin.y = 0
v.alpha = 1.0
v.frame = currentRect
self.btn.sendSubview(toBack: v)
}
If you need just background color filling from bottom to top, you could create additional layer with that color and origin Y = CGRectGetHeight(button.frame). When you need to fill your button just animate origin Y of that layer to 0.
