I would like to present a view in the same manner as that of UIAlertView - a pop/spring. Unfortunately subclassing UIAlertView is not an option for the view I need to present. I have written some code, but I can't seem to get it as realistic as I would like. I would appreciate any suggestions for greater realism or a link if anything similar has been done (I could not find anything on Google). Thank you.
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
if ((self = [super initWithFrame:frame])) {
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
v = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(140, 140, 60, 60)];
v.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[self addSubview:v];
[self animate];
}
return self;
}

the pointer to delackner's post is the best initial one i found as well. i would only offer for folks trying to really mimic UIAlertView a few things:
- adding the rounded edges, border, and semi-transparent layer color
- some alpha fade-in/-out, and
- redoing with blocks as somewhat more succinct with latest iOS toolchain
- i also found the initial 1.1 scale-out he suggests too large, 1.05 seemed more correct visually to me in most cases
Code:
self.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0;
[self.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];
self.layer.backgroundColor = [[UIColor blueColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.60].CGColor;
self.layer.borderColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;
self.layer.borderWidth = 1.1;
if (self.hidden == YES) { // swoop in if coming from hidden, otherwise pulse in-place
self.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.6, 0.6);
}
self.hidden = NO;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2
animations:^{
self.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.05, 1.05);
self.alpha = 0.8;
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
[UIView animateWithDuration:1/15.0
animations:^{
self.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.9, 0.9);
self.alpha = 0.9;
}
completion:^(BOOL finished) {
[UIView animateWithDuration:1/7.5
animations:^{
self.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
self.alpha = 1.0;
}
];
}
];
}
];
One thing: multi-step animations like this are much easier if you use a CAKeyframeAnimation
instead of mutiple UIView queued animations.
