I need some sample code where I can animate a curve/arc path which should draw a full circle as animated?
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks, Sat

UPDATE: Realizing there is a better solution to this problem. Just create a circular path and animate the strokeEnd property of a CAShapeLayer from 0.0f to 1.0f. Take a look at this answer from Ole: Drawing a path with CAKeyFrameAnimation on iPhone
ORIGINAL ANSWER:
You can use a CAKeyframeAnimation and create a Core Graphics path. This code animates a layer in a parabolic pattern, but you can adapt it to draw a circle.
- (CAAnimation*)pathAnimation;
{
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathMoveToPoint(path,NULL,50.0,120.0);
CGPathAddCurveToPoint(path,NULL,50.0,275.0,
150.0,275.0,
150.0,120.0);
CGPathAddCurveToPoint(path,NULL,150.0,275.0,
250.0,275.0,
250.0,120.0);
CGPathAddCurveToPoint(path,NULL,250.0,275.0,
350.0,275.0,
350.0,120.0);
CGPathAddCurveToPoint(path,NULL,350.0,275.0,
450.0,275.0,
450.0,120.0);
CAKeyframeAnimation *
animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation
animationWithKeyPath:@"position"];
[animation setPath:path];
[animation setDuration:3.0];
[animation setAutoreverses:YES];
CFRelease(path);
return animation;
}
