I can animate the addition of a UIView to my app, it looks very pretty so thank you apple.
However, how do I animate the removal of this view from the super view?
I'm using:
CATransition *animation = [CATransition animation];
[animation setDuration:1];
[animation setType:kCATransitionReveal];
[animation setTimingFunction:[CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseIn]];
[[myview layer] addAnimation:animation forKey:kCATransitionReveal];
to animate the "in" transition ... how do you animate the "out" transition????
Animate your view so it moves offscreen/shrinks/expands/fades, then do the actual removal when the animation ends.
You can do this by altering the properties of the view (position/size/offset) between a beginAnimations/commitAnimations block. UIKit will then animate these properties over the time specified.
E.g something like;
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.30f];
view.transform =
CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(
view.frame.origin.x,
480.0f + (view.frame.size.height/2) // move the whole view offscreen
);
background.alpha = 0; // also fade to transparent
[UIView commitAnimations];
In the animation end notification you can then remove the view.
