I have checked some of the StackOverflow answers regarding custom UIView slider but using them I unable to make the slider like this. This makes a circle or half circle. I have figured out some library that makes circle slider using UIView but its not helpful to me so could anyone please help me out. How can I make slider like in below UIImage? Thanks!
You will probably just roll your own. (You obviously could search for third party implementations, but that would be out of scope for StackOverflow.) There are a lot of ways of tackling this, but the basic elements here are:
The pink arc for the overall path. Personally, I'd use a CAShapeLayer for that.
The white arc from the start to the current progress (measured from 0 to 1). Again, a CAShapeLayer would be logical.
The white dot placed at the spot of the current progress. Below I create a CALayer with white background and then apply a CAGradientLayer as a mask to that. You could also just create a UIImage for this.
In terms of how to set the progress, you would set the paths of the pink and white arcs to the same path, but just update the strokeEnd of the white arc. You would also adjust the position of the white dot layer accordingly.
The only complicated thing here is figuring out the center of the arc. In my example below, I calculate it with some trigonometry based upon the bounds of the view so that arc goes from lower left corner, to the top, and back down the the lower right corner. Or you might instead pass the center of the arc as a parameter.
Anyway, it might look like:
#IBDesignable
class ArcView: UIView {
#IBInspectable
var lineWidth: CGFloat = 7 { didSet { updatePaths() } }
#IBInspectable
var progress: CGFloat = 0 { didSet { updatePaths() } }
override func prepareForInterfaceBuilder() {
super.prepareForInterfaceBuilder()
progress = 0.35
}
lazy var currentPositionDotLayer: CALayer = {
let layer = CALayer()
layer.backgroundColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: lineWidth * 3, height: lineWidth * 3)
layer.frame = rect
let gradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
gradientLayer.colors = [UIColor.white.cgColor, UIColor.clear.cgColor]
gradientLayer.type = .radial
gradientLayer.frame = rect
gradientLayer.startPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5)
gradientLayer.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 1, y: 1)
gradientLayer.locations = [0.5, 1]
layer.mask = gradientLayer
return layer
}()
lazy var progressShapeLayer: CAShapeLayer = {
let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shapeLayer.lineCap = .round
shapeLayer.lineWidth = lineWidth
shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
shapeLayer.strokeColor = #colorLiteral(red: 1, green: 1, blue: 1, alpha: 1)
return shapeLayer
}()
lazy var totalShapeLayer: CAShapeLayer = {
let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shapeLayer.lineCap = .round
shapeLayer.lineWidth = lineWidth
shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
shapeLayer.strokeColor = #colorLiteral(red: 0.9439327121, green: 0.5454334617, blue: 0.6426400542, alpha: 1)
return shapeLayer
}()
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
configure()
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: coder)
configure()
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
updatePaths()
}
}
// MARK: - Private utility methods
private extension ArcView {
func configure() {
layer.addSublayer(totalShapeLayer)
layer.addSublayer(progressShapeLayer)
layer.addSublayer(currentPositionDotLayer)
}
func updatePaths() {
let rect = bounds.insetBy(dx: lineWidth / 2, dy: lineWidth / 2)
let halfWidth = rect.width / 2
let height = rect.height
let theta = atan(halfWidth / height)
let radius = sqrt(halfWidth * halfWidth + height * height) / 2 / cos(theta)
let center = CGPoint(x: rect.midX, y: rect.minY + radius)
let delta = (.pi / 2 - theta) * 2
let startAngle = .pi * 3 / 2 - delta
let endAngle = .pi * 3 / 2 + delta
let path = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center,
radius: radius,
startAngle: startAngle,
endAngle: endAngle,
clockwise: true)
progressShapeLayer.path = path.cgPath // white arc
totalShapeLayer.path = path.cgPath // pink arc
progressShapeLayer.strokeEnd = progress
let currentAngle = (endAngle - startAngle) * progress + startAngle
let dotCenter = CGPoint(x: center.x + radius * cos(currentAngle),
y: center.y + radius * sin(currentAngle))
currentPositionDotLayer.position = dotCenter
}
}
Above, I set the background color of the ArcView so you could see its bounds, but you would obviously set the background color to be transparent.
Now there are tons of additional features you might add (e.g. add user interaction so you could “scrub” it, etc.). See https://github.com/robertmryan/ArcView for example. But the key when designing this sort of stuff is to just break it down into its constituent elements, layering one on top of the other.
You can programmatically set the progress of the arcView to get it to change the current value between values of 0 and 1:
func startUpdating() {
arcView.progress = 0
var current = 0
Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 0.2, repeats: true) { [weak self] timer in
current += 1
guard let self = self, current <= 10 else {
timer.invalidate()
return
}
self.arcView.progress = CGFloat(current) / 10
}
}
Resulting in:
I am trying to have an animation in a view controller in which the circle rotates with animation. The circle should rotate until a process completed like a gif below. I have implemented the circle animation but couldn't reach to the point what I want to achieve.
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var circle : Circle?;
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad();
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.white;
setupViews();
}
func setupViews(){
circle = Circle(frame: self.view.frame);
view.addSubview(circle!);
circle?.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor).isActive = true;
circle?.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true;
circle?.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.heightAnchor).isActive = true;
circle?.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.widthAnchor).isActive = true;
}
}
class Circle : UIView{
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame);
self.backgroundColor = .blue;
self.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false;
setupCircle();
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
let gradientLayer = CAGradientLayer();
func setupCircle(){
layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer);
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: self.frame.width / 2 - 50, y: self.frame.height / 2 - 50), radius: 50, startAngle: CGFloat(Double.pi * (0 / 4)), endAngle: CGFloat(Double.pi * 2), clockwise: true);
shapeLayer.path = circlePath.cgPath;
let group = CAAnimationGroup()
group.animations = [animateStrokeEnd, animateOpacity]
group.duration = 0.8
group.repeatCount = HUGE // repeat forver
shapeLayer.add(group, forKey: nil)
}
let shapeLayer: CAShapeLayer = {
let layer = CAShapeLayer();
layer.strokeColor = UIColor.white.cgColor;
layer.lineWidth = 5;
layer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor;
layer.strokeStart = 0
layer.strokeEnd = 1;
return layer;
}();
let animateOpacity : CABasicAnimation = {
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "opacity");
animation.fromValue = 0;
animation.toValue = 0.8;
animation.byValue = 0.01;
animation.repeatCount = Float.infinity;
return animation
}();
let animateStrokeEnd: CABasicAnimation = {
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "strokeEnd");
animation.fromValue = 0;
animation.repeatCount = Float.infinity;
animation.toValue = 1;
return animation;
}();
}
I am using strokeEnd animation to implement the animation. And opacity to animate the color. But when the circle reaches 360 degree, its makes a lag before starting a new circle.
Does anybody know how to remove this effect and get smooth animation?
The above code produces this animation
But i want to achieve this animation
Also the stroke colour is different from the original animation. Can we achieve this animation using the CABasicAnimation?
Rather than trying to animate the actual drawing, just draw the view once and then animate it.
Here is a custom PadlockView and a custom CircleView which mimic the animation you showed. To use it, add the code below to your project. Add a UIView to your Storyboard, change its class to PadlockView, and make an #IBOutlet to it (called padlock perhaps). When you want the view to animate, set padlock.circle.isAnimating = true. To stop animating, set padlock.circle.isAnimating = false.

Here is a demo that I setup with the following code in my ViewController:

#IBAction func startStop(_ sender: UIButton) {
if sender.currentTitle == "Start" {
sender.setTitle("Stop", for: .normal)
padlock.circle.isAnimating = true
} else {

padlock.circle.isAnimating = false
}
}
I designed a custom header view that masks an image and draws a border on the bottom edge, which is an arc. It looks like this:
Here's the code for the class:
class HeaderView: UIView
{
private let imageView = UIImageView()
private let dimmerView = UIView()
private let arcShape = CAShapeLayer()
private let maskShape = CAShapeLayer() // Masks the image and the dimmer
private let titleLabel = UILabel()
#IBInspectable var image: UIImage? { didSet { self.imageView.image = self.image } }
#IBInspectable var title: String? { didSet {self.titleLabel.text = self.title} }
#IBInspectable var arcHeight: CGFloat? { didSet {self.setupLayers()} }
// MARK: Initialization

titleLabel.font = Font.AvenirNext_Bold(24)
titleLabel.text = "TITLE"
titleLabel.textColor = UIColor.white()
titleLabel.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black().cgColor
titleLabel.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0.0, height: 2.0)
titleLabel.layer.shadowRadius = 0.0;
titleLabel.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0;
titleLabel.layer.masksToBounds = false
titleLabel.layer.shouldRasterize = true
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.scaleAspectFill

// Add the shapes
self.layer.addSublayer(arcShape)
self.layer.addSublayer(maskShape)
self.layer.masksToBounds = true // This seems to be unneeded...test more
// Set constraints

imageView .autoPinEdgesToSuperviewEdges()
titleLabel.autoCenterInSuperview()
}
func setupLayers()
{
let aHeight = arcHeight ?? 10
// Create the arc shape
arcShape.path = AppocalypseUI.createHorizontalArcPath(CGPoint(x: 0, y: bounds.size.height), width: bounds.size.width, arcHeight: aHeight)
arcShape.strokeColor = UIColor.white().cgColor
arcShape.lineWidth = 1.0

//let current = CGPathGetCurrentPoint(maskPath);
//print(current)
let mask_Dimmer = CAShapeLayer()
mask_Dimmer.path = maskPath.copy()
maskShape.fillColor = UIColor(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 1.0).cgColor
maskShape.path = maskPath
// Apply the masks
imageView.layer.mask = maskShape
dimmerView.layer.mask = mask_Dimmer
}
override func layoutSubviews()
{
super.layoutSubviews()
// Let's go old school here...
imageView.frame = self.bounds
dimmerView.frame = self.bounds

}
}
Something like this will cause it to just snap to the new size without gradually changing its frame:
UIView.animate(withDuration: 1.0)
{
self.headerView.arcHeight = self.new_headerView_arcHeight
self.headerView.frame = self.new_headerView_frame
}
I figure it must have something to do with the fact that I'm using CALayers, but I don't really know enough about what's going on behind the scenes.
EDIT:
Here's the function I use to create the arc path:
class func createHorizontalArcPath(_ startPoint:CGPoint, width:CGFloat, arcHeight:CGFloat, closed:Bool = false) -> CGMutablePath
{
// http://www.raywenderlich.com/33193/core-graphics-tutorial-arcs-and-paths
let arcRect = CGRect(x: startPoint.x, y: startPoint.y-arcHeight, width: width, height: arcHeight)
let arcRadius = (arcRect.size.height/2) + (pow(arcRect.size.width, 2) / (8*arcRect.size.height));
let arcCenter = CGPoint(x: arcRect.origin.x + arcRect.size.width/2, y: arcRect.origin.y + arcRadius);
let angle = acos(arcRect.size.width / (2*arcRadius));
let startAngle = CGFloat(M_PI)+angle // (180 degrees + angle)
let endAngle = CGFloat(M_PI*2)-angle // (360 degrees - angle)
// let startAngle = radians(180) + angle;
// let endAngle = radians(360) - angle;
let path = CGMutablePath();
path.addArc(nil, x: arcCenter.x, y: arcCenter.y, radius: arcRadius, startAngle: startAngle, endAngle: endAngle, clockwise: false);
if(closed == true)
{path.addLineTo(nil, x: startPoint.x, y: startPoint.y);}
return path;
}
BONUS:
Setting the arcHeight property to 0 results in no white line being drawn. Why?
The Path property can't be animated. You have to approach the problem differently. You can draw an arc 'instantly', any arc, so that tells us that we need to handle the animation manually. If you expect the entire draw process to take say 3 seconds, then you might want to split the process to 1000 parts, and call the arc drawing function 1000 times every 0.3 miliseconds to draw the arc again from the beginning to the current point.
self.headerView.arcHeight is not a animatable property. It is only UIView own properties are animatable
you can do something like this
let displayLink = CADisplayLink(target: self, selector: #selector(update))
displayLink.addToRunLoop(NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop(), forMode: NSDefaultRunLoopMode
let expectedFramesPerSecond = 60
var diff : CGFloat = 0
func update() {
let diffUpdated = self.headerView.arcHeight - self.new_headerView_arcHeight
let done = (fabs(diffUpdated) < 0.1)
if(!done){
self.headerView.arcHeight -= diffUpdated/(expectedFramesPerSecond*0.5)
self.setNeedsDisplay()
}
}
Alright, Im pretty new to CAShapeLayer but I need to know how to fill in a CAShapeLayer circle with a color starting from the outside outline and going to the center like this -
I am drawing my circle with this modified from a tutorial:
var circleLayer: CAShapeLayer!
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
self.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
// Use UIBezierPath as an easy way to create the CGPath for the layer.
// The path should be the entire circle.
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: frame.size.width / 2.0, y: frame.size.height / 2.0), radius: (frame.size.width - 10)/2, startAngle: 0.0, endAngle: CGFloat(M_PI * 2.0), clockwise: true)
// Setup the CAShapeLayer with the path, colors, and line width
circleLayer = CAShapeLayer()
circleLayer.path = circlePath.CGPath
circleLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clearColor().CGColor
circleLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.whiteColor().CGColor
circleLayer.lineWidth = 1.5;
// Don't draw the circle initially
circleLayer.strokeEnd = 0.0
// Add the circleLayer to the view's layer's sublayers
layer.addSublayer(circleLayer)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
func animateCircle(duration: NSTimeInterval) {
// We want to animate the strokeEnd property of the circleLayer
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "strokeEnd")
// Set the animation duration appropriately
animation.duration = duration
// Animate from 0 (no circle) to 1 (full circle)
animation.fromValue = 0
animation.toValue = 1
// Do a linear animation (i.e. the speed of the animation stays the same)
animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: kCAMediaTimingFunctionLinear)
// Set the circleLayer's strokeEnd property to 1.0 now so that it's the
// right value when the animation ends.
circleLayer.strokeEnd = 1.0
// Do the actual animation
circleLayer.addAnimation(animation, forKey: "animateCircle")
}
}
Then I add the CircleView like this -
func addCircleView() {
let diceRoll = CGFloat(Int(arc4random_uniform(7))*50)
var circleWidth = screenSize.width*(85/330)
var circleHeight = circleWidth
// Create a new CircleView
circleView = CircleView(frame: CGRectMake(diceRoll, 0, circleWidth, circleHeight))
circleView.center = CGPointMake(screenSize.width*0.5, screenSize.height*0.71)
view.addSubview(circleView)
I'm looking for a way to animate the drawing of a circle. I have been able to create the circle, but it draws it all together.
Here is my CircleView class:
import UIKit
class CircleView: UIView {
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
self.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
}
required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) {
// Get the Graphics Context
var context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
// Set the circle outerline-width
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 5.0);
// Set the circle outerline-colour
UIColor.redColor().set()
// Create Circle
CGContextAddArc(context, (frame.size.width)/2, frame.size.height/2, (frame.size.width - 10)/2, 0.0, CGFloat(M_PI * 2.0), 1)
// Draw
CGContextStrokePath(context);
}
}
And here is how I add it to the view hierarchy in my view controller:
func addCircleView() {
let diceRoll = CGFloat(Int(arc4random_uniform(7))*50)
var circleWidth = CGFloat(200)
var circleHeight = circleWidth
// Create a new CircleView
var circleView = CircleView(frame: CGRectMake(diceRoll, 0, circleWidth, circleHeight))
view.addSubview(circleView)
}
Is there a way to animate the drawing of the circle over 1 second?
Example, part way through the animation it would look something like the blue line in this image:
The easiest way to do this is to use the power of core animation to do most of the work for you. To do that, we'll have to move your circle drawing code from your drawRect function to a CAShapeLayer. Then, we can use a CABasicAnimation to animate CAShapeLayer's strokeEnd property from 0.0 to 1.0. strokeEnd is a big part of the magic here; from the docs:
Combined with the strokeStart property, this property defines the
subregion of the path to stroke. The value in this property indicates
the relative point along the path at which to finish stroking while
the strokeStart property defines the starting point. A value of 0.0
represents the beginning of the path while a value of 1.0 represents
the end of the path. Values in between are interpreted linearly along
the path length.
If we set strokeEnd to 0.0, it won't draw anything. If we set it to 1.0, it'll draw a full circle. If we set it to 0.5, it'll draw a half circle. etc.
So, to start, lets create a CAShapeLayer in your CircleView's init function and add that layer to the view's sublayers (also be sure to remove the drawRect function since the layer will be drawing the circle now):
let circleLayer: CAShapeLayer!
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
self.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
// Use UIBezierPath as an easy way to create the CGPath for the layer.
// The path should be the entire circle.
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: frame.size.width / 2.0, y: frame.size.height / 2.0), radius: (frame.size.width - 10)/2, startAngle: 0.0, endAngle: CGFloat(Double.pi * 2.0), clockwise: true)
// Setup the CAShapeLayer with the path, colors, and line width
circleLayer = CAShapeLayer()
circleLayer.path = circlePath.CGPath
circleLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clearColor().CGColor
circleLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.redColor().CGColor
circleLayer.lineWidth = 5.0;
// Don't draw the circle initially
circleLayer.strokeEnd = 0.0
// Add the circleLayer to the view's layer's sublayers
layer.addSublayer(circleLayer)
}
Note: We're setting circleLayer.strokeEnd = 0.0 so that the circle isn't drawn right away.
Now, lets add a function that we can call to trigger the circle animation:
func animateCircle(duration: NSTimeInterval) {
// We want to animate the strokeEnd property of the circleLayer
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: #keyPath(CAShapeLayer.strokeEnd))
// Set the animation duration appropriately
animation.duration = duration
// Animate from 0 (no circle) to 1 (full circle)
animation.fromValue = 0
animation.toValue = 1
// Do a linear animation (i.e. the speed of the animation stays the same)
animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: CAMediaTimingFunctionName.linear)
// Set the circleLayer's strokeEnd property to 1.0 now so that it's the
// right value when the animation ends.
circleLayer.strokeEnd = 1.0
// Do the actual animation
circleLayer.add(animation, forKey: "animateCircle")
}
Then, all we need to do is change your addCircleView function so that it triggers the animation when you add the CircleView to its superview:
func addCircleView() {
let diceRoll = CGFloat(Int(arc4random_uniform(7))*50)
var circleWidth = CGFloat(200)
var circleHeight = circleWidth
// Create a new CircleView
var circleView = CircleView(frame: CGRectMake(diceRoll, 0, circleWidth, circleHeight))
view.addSubview(circleView)
// Animate the drawing of the circle over the course of 1 second
circleView.animateCircle(1.0)
}
All that put together should look something like this:
Note: It won't repeat like that, it'll stay a full circle after it animates.

let circleView = CircleView(frame: CGRect(x: diceRoll, y: 0, width: circleWidth, height: circleHeight))
//let test = CircleView(frame: CGRect(x: diceRoll, y: 0, width: circleWidth, height: circleHeight))
view.addSubview(circleView)
// Animate the drawing of the circle over the course of 1 second
circleView.animateCircle(duration: 1.0)
}
Mike's answer is great! Another nice and simple way to do it is use drawRect combined with setNeedsDisplay(). It seems laggy, but its not :-)
We want to draw a circle starting from the top, which is -90° and ends at 270°. The circle's center is (centerX, centerY), with a given radius. CurrentAngle is the current angle of the end-point of the circle, going from minAngle (-90) to maxAngle (270).
// MARK: Properties
let centerX:CGFloat = 55
let centerY:CGFloat = 55
let radius:CGFloat = 50
var currentAngle:Float = -90
let minAngle:Float = -90
let maxAngle:Float = 270
In drawRect, we specify how the circle is supposed to display :
override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) {
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
let path = CGPathCreateMutable()
CGPathAddArc(path, nil, centerX, centerY, radius, CGFloat(GLKMathDegreesToRadians(minAngle)), CGFloat(GLKMathDegreesToRadians(currentAngle)), false)
CGContextAddPath(context, path)
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, UIColor.blueColor().CGColor)
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 3)
CGContextStrokePath(context)
}
The problem is that right now, as currentAngle is not changing, the circle is static, and doesn't even show, as currentAngle = minAngle.
We then create a timer, and whenever that timer fires, we increase currentAngle. At the top of your class, add the timing between two fires :
let timeBetweenDraw:CFTimeInterval = 0.01
In your init, add the timer :
NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(timeBetweenDraw, target: self, selector: #selector(updateTimer), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
We can add the function that will be called when the timer fires :
func updateTimer() {
if currentAngle < maxAngle {
currentAngle += 1
}
}
Sadly, when running the app, nothing displays because we did not specify the system that it should draw again. This is done by calling setNeedsDisplay(). Here is the updated timer function :
func updateTimer() {
if currentAngle < maxAngle {
currentAngle += 1
setNeedsDisplay()
}
}
_
_
_
All the code you need is summed-up here :
import UIKit
import GLKit
class CircleClosing: UIView {
// MARK: Properties
let centerX:CGFloat = 55
let centerY:CGFloat = 55
let radius:CGFloat = 50
var currentAngle:Float = -90
let timeBetweenDraw:CFTimeInterval = 0.01
// MARK: Init
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
setup()
}
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
setup()
}
func setup() {
self.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(timeBetweenDraw, target: self, selector: #selector(updateTimer), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
}
// MARK: Drawing
func updateTimer() {
if currentAngle < 270 {
currentAngle += 1
setNeedsDisplay()
}
}
override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) {
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
let path = CGPathCreateMutable()
CGPathAddArc(path, nil, centerX, centerY, radius, -CGFloat(M_PI/2), CGFloat(GLKMathDegreesToRadians(currentAngle)), false)
CGContextAddPath(context, path)
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, UIColor.blueColor().CGColor)
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 3)
CGContextStrokePath(context)
}
}
If you want to change the speed, just modify the updateTimer function, or the rate at which this function is called. Also, you might want to invalidate the timer once the circle is complete, which I forgot to do :-)
NB: To add the circle in your storyboard, just add a view, select it, go to its Identity Inspector, and as Class, specify CircleClosing.
Cheers! bRo
If you want a completion handler, this is another solution similar to the one by Mike S, done in Swift 3.0
func animateCircleFull(duration: TimeInterval) {
CATransaction.begin()
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "strokeEnd")
animation.duration = duration
animation.fromValue = 0
animation.toValue = 1
animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut)
circleLayer.strokeEnd = 1.0
CATransaction.setCompletionBlock {
print("animation complete")
}
// Do the actual animation
circleLayer.add(animation, forKey: "animateCircle")
CATransaction.commit()
}
With the completion handler, you can run the animation again either by recursively calling the same function to do the animation over again (which won't look very nice), or you can have a reversed function that will continuously chain until a condition is met, for example:
func animate(duration: TimeInterval){
self.isAnimating = true
self.animateCircleFull(duration: 1)
}
func endAnimate(){
self.isAnimating = false
}
func animateCircleFull(duration: TimeInterval) {
if self.isAnimating{
CATransaction.begin()
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "strokeEnd")
animation.duration = duration
animation.fromValue = 0
animation.toValue = 1
animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut)
circleLayer.strokeEnd = 1.0
CATransaction.setCompletionBlock {
self.animateCircleEmpty(duration: duration)
}
// Do the actual animation
circleLayer.add(animation, forKey: "animateCircle")
CATransaction.commit()
}
}
func animateCircleEmpty(duration: TimeInterval){
if self.isAnimating{
CATransaction.begin()
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "strokeEnd")
animation.duration = duration
animation.fromValue = 1
animation.toValue = 0
animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut)
circleLayer.strokeEnd = 0
CATransaction.setCompletionBlock {
self.animateCircleFull(duration: duration)
}
// Do the actual animation
circleLayer.add(animation, forKey: "animateCircle")
CATransaction.commit()
}
}
To make it even fancier, you can change the direction of the animation like this:
func setCircleClockwise(){
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: frame.size.width / 2.0, y: frame.size.height / 2.0), radius: (frame.size.width - 10)/2, startAngle: 0.0, endAngle: CGFloat(M_PI * 2.0), clockwise: true)
self.circleLayer.removeFromSuperlayer()
self.circleLayer = formatCirle(circlePath: circlePath)
self.layer.addSublayer(self.circleLayer)
}
func setCircleCounterClockwise(){
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: frame.size.width / 2.0, y: frame.size.height / 2.0), radius: (frame.size.width - 10)/2, startAngle: 0.0, endAngle: CGFloat(M_PI * 2.0), clockwise: false)
self.circleLayer.removeFromSuperlayer()
self.circleLayer = formatCirle(circlePath: circlePath)
self.layer.addSublayer(self.circleLayer)
}
func formatCirle(circlePath: UIBezierPath) -> CAShapeLayer{
let circleShape = CAShapeLayer()
circleShape.path = circlePath.cgPath
circleShape.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
circleShape.strokeColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
circleShape.lineWidth = 10.0;
circleShape.strokeEnd = 0.0
return circleShape
}
func animate(duration: TimeInterval){
self.isAnimating = true
self.animateCircleFull(duration: 1)
}
func endAnimate(){
self.isAnimating = false
}
func animateCircleFull(duration: TimeInterval) {
if self.isAnimating{
CATransaction.begin()
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "strokeEnd")
animation.duration = duration
animation.fromValue = 0
animation.toValue = 1
animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut)
circleLayer.strokeEnd = 1.0
CATransaction.setCompletionBlock {
self.setCircleCounterClockwise()
self.animateCircleEmpty(duration: duration)
}
// Do the actual animation
circleLayer.add(animation, forKey: "animateCircle")
CATransaction.commit()
}
}
func animateCircleEmpty(duration: TimeInterval){
if self.isAnimating{
CATransaction.begin()
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "strokeEnd")
animation.duration = duration
animation.fromValue = 1
animation.toValue = 0
animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut)
circleLayer.strokeEnd = 0
CATransaction.setCompletionBlock {
self.setCircleClockwise()
self.animateCircleFull(duration: duration)
}
// Do the actual animation
circleLayer.add(animation, forKey: "animateCircle")
CATransaction.commit()
}
}

No only you can subclass an UIView, you can also go slightly deeper, subclass an CALayer
In other words, CoreAnimation's strokeEnd is OK. To call CALayer's draw(in ctx:) frequently is also OK
and the round line cap is nice
The key point is to override CALayer's method action(forKey:)
Actions define dynamic behaviors for a layer. For example, the animatable properties of a layer typically have corresponding action objects to initiate the actual animations. When that property changes, the layer looks for the action object associated with the property name and executes it.
