I'm using presentModalView controller and pushing the transition to new view via its controller.
And I'm using following code to do the transition (which is working fine)
[self presentModalViewController:myViewController animated:NO];
CATransition *animation = [CATransition animation];
[animation setDuration:0.5];
[animation setType:kCATransitionPush];
[animation setSubtype:kCATransitionFromRight];
[animation setTimingFunction:[CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut]];
[[myViewController.view layer] addAnimation:animation forKey:@"SwitchToView"];
but the problem is that, its showing blank white screen and then transition starts. How to avoid this?
first add animation then present
CATransition *animation = [CATransition animation];
[animation setDuration:0.5];
[animation setType:kCATransitionPush];
[animation setSubtype:kCATransitionFromRight];
[animation setTimingFunction:[CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut]];
[[myViewController.view layer] addAnimation:animation forKey:@"SwitchToView"];
[self presentModalViewController:myViewController animated:NO];
As this wasn't answered, I'll post what worked for me, to allow future seekers to find something useful:
I was trying to display a view in a different XIB file with a CATransition and always got a black screen at the beginning.
The solution was to replace these lines
[[myViewController.view layer];
addAnimation:animation forKey:@"SwitchToView"];
with
[[self.view.superview layer] addAnimation:animation forKey:@"SwitchToView"];
After finding the issue, it was quite easy to understand, because obviously the local window is the one you want to "push".
I think, uiviewcontroller.transitioningDelegate is the way to do it on iOS7 ans 8 :
//Mark : Custom Transitionning for modal
func presentViewController(viewControllerToPresent: UIViewController, animated flag: Bool, fromRight:Bool , completion: (() -> Void)?) {
if fromRight
{
viewControllerToPresent.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.FullScreen
viewControllerToPresent.transitioningDelegate = self;
self.presentViewController(viewControllerToPresent, animated: true, completion: completion);
}
else
{
self.presentViewController(viewControllerToPresent, animated: true, completion: completion)
}
}
//MARK : Transitioning Delegate
func animationControllerForPresentedController(presented: UIViewController, presentingController presenting: UIViewController, sourceController source: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {
return self;
}
func animationControllerForDismissedController(dismissed: UIViewController) -> UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning? {
return self;
}
func transitionDuration(transitionContext: UIViewControllerContextTransitioning) -> NSTimeInterval {
return 0.4;
}
func animateTransition(transitionContext: UIViewControllerContextTransitioning) {
let toViewController = transitionContext.viewControllerForKey(UITransitionContextToViewControllerKey)!
let fromViewController = transitionContext.viewControllerForKey(UITransitionContextFromViewControllerKey)!
let toView = toViewController.viewForTransitionContext(transitionContext)
let fromView = fromViewController.viewForTransitionContext(transitionContext)
let containerView = transitionContext.containerView()
let duration = self.transitionDuration(transitionContext);
let initialFrame = transitionContext.initialFrameForViewController(fromViewController)
var offsetRect = initialFrame
offsetRect.origin.x += CGRectGetWidth(initialFrame);
//Present
if toViewController.isBeingPresented()
{
// init state before animation
toView.frame = offsetRect;
containerView.addSubview(toView);
// then animate
UIView.animateWithDuration(duration, animations: { () -> Void in
toView.frame = initialFrame;
}, completion: { (finished) -> Void in
transitionContext.completeTransition(!transitionContext.transitionWasCancelled())
})
}
//Dismiss
else
{
// init state before animation
containerView.addSubview(toView)
containerView.sendSubviewToBack(toView)
// then animate
UIView.animateWithDuration(duration, animations: { () -> Void in
fromView.frame = offsetRect
}, completion: { (finished) -> Void in
fromView.removeFromSuperview()
transitionContext.completeTransition(!transitionContext.transitionWasCancelled())
})
}
}
