Could someone please provide me with an example of animating the opacity of an Image View in swift??
I couldn't even find a good example in objective c
func showCorrectImage(element: AnyObject){
var animation : CABasicAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "opacity");
animation.delegate = self
animation.fromValue = NSValue(nonretainedObject: 0.0)
animation.toValue = NSValue(nonretainedObject: 1.0)
animation.duration = 1.0
element.layer?.addAnimation(animation, forKey: nil)
}
I think I have most of this right (not completely sure though), could someone please help me?
element = an Image View
Thanks in advance!~
If you need a simple animation, why not just use UIView's animateWithDuration:animations:
method?
imageView.alpha = 0
UIView.animateWithDuration(1.0) {
imageView.alpha = 1
}
You can also write it like this:
animation.fromValue = 0.0
animation.toValue = 1.0
The whole code should be like this:
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "opacity")
animation.delegate = self
animation.fromValue = 0.0
animation.toValue = 1.0
animation.duration = 1.0
animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: .easeInEaseOut)
element.layer?.addAnimation(animation, forKey: "fade")
If anyone is looking to use CABasicAnimation like OP had originally tried to do, one problem with his original code was he was using NSValue for the toValue. I switched it to NSNumber and it worked for me. Like this
fadeToVisible.fromValue = NSNumber(float: 0.0)
