I am building a application I need to animate logo just like skype application. I am still not sure how to get the affect skype logo appear while starting the application
As far as my understanding on your question, you can try using frame images (frames of gif images to be precise )on UIImageView.
NSArray * imageArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:[UIImage imageNamed:#"1.png"], [UIImage imageNamed:#"2.png"], nil]; //this will be the frames of animation images in sequence.
ringImage = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100,200,600,600)];
ringImage.animationImages = imageArray;
ringImage.animationDuration = 1.5;//this the animating speed which you can modify
ringImage.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
[ringImage startAnimating];//this method actually does the work of animating your frames.
To STOP the animation, just use [ringImage stopAnimating];
Do let me know if this answers your question:)
Hey I just find out this example using MCSpriteLayer...
You can go through this link...
Also they have downloadable link Here
This solved my purpose hope this will help you guys too

I am animating the ImageViews then the user taps a button. I have more than 40
images. The code I have used is
arr3 = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Aperture_00000.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"Aperture_00001.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"Aperture_00002.png"],
...
[UIImage imageNamed:#"Aperture_00023.png"], nil];
imgv.animationImages = arr3;
imgv.animationDuration=2.0f;
imgv.animationRepeatCount =1;
The method to start the animation is:
-(void)animate {
[imgv startAnimating];
}
But it takes a lot of time when the user presses the button for the first time. What could be the solution for this?
The reason is following code:
arr3 = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Aperture_00000"],[UIImage imageNamed:#"Aperture_00001"],[UIImage imageNamed:#"1.png",#"2.png",#"3png",#"4.png",#"5.png",#"6.png",#"7.png",#"8.png",#"9.png",#"10.png",#"11.png",#"12.png",#"13.png",#"14.png",#"15.png",];
What you can do is load this array somewhere else.
Note : This is a very memory consuming way of loading the images. Your app will definitely crash after you visit this class 2-3 times. Instead of this use some alternative. The easiest alternative I can suggest is load a image on UIImageView and change the image periodically. It'll give you animation effect.
I would suggest you rather doing it programmatically you should create animated gif image from the images. Here is online tool you can set speed and other parameters
http://picasion.com/
and use
https://github.com/arturogutierrez/Animated-GIF-iPhone
UIImageView category to display that gif image in that case you can save your CPU time.
Unhide the imageView when you want to play animation and hide when you want to stop.
I would suggest to give that at least a try.
Below image is from AppFlow welcome page animation.
Not launch image, this is just part of welcome page , part of.... not all welcome page and I can't show the animation here, so I screen shot some frames of this animation and rearrange here.
I am sure that is not a gif or any image animation, should finished by objc code. Anyone could give me some thread or sample code will be great!
Thanks
There are plenty of ways of displaying animations in iOS. For the animation you described above, I would recommend making one PNG image per frame. Then you can display the animation in a UIImageView similar to below:
imageView.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[UIImage imageNamed:#"1.png"], [UIImage imageNamed:#"2.png"], nil];
imageView.animationDuration = 1;
imageView.animationRepeatCount = 0;
[imageView startAnimating];
Place the UIImageView on the welcome view controller.
I am googling for the answer from last few hours. I know that Apple and Facebook do not support gif images, I wants to display and create gif image in an iPhone App, I find the alternate solution that make the image sequence and give animation. I wants to create the GIF image from these images and post on Facebook wall.
When I was googling about Facebook and Apple, it shows 2 years old answers. May be now apple and Facebook changed their policies, Is this possible to create GIF image on iPhone App and post to it on Facebook?
According to this stack overflow question here does Apple support gif images?
UIImageView* animatedImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
animatedImageView.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"image1.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"image2.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"image3.gif"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"image4.gif"], nil];
animatedImageView.animationDuration = 1.0f;
animatedImageView.animationRepeatCount = 0;
[animatedImageView startAnimating];
[self.view addSubview: animatedImageView];
I've been able to create animated gifs on iOS using ImageMagick. There are a number of tutorials out there. Here is one. And here is ImageMagick compiled for iOS.
What I wasn't able to sort out (due to time) was how to get the benefit of compression by using palettized images and other gif compression methods. That wold be something to look into as I found the images I was able to create were quite large.
I need a clarification from all of you,That is I am implementing an iPad application. In that I tried to download and animate the images. The image count should be more than 100,000.The code I used to download and adding to the view is as follows.
UIImageView* imageView=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0,100,100)];
NSData *receivedData=nil;
receivedData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://path/prudently/iphone/image_s/e545afbf-4e3e-442e-92f9-a7891fc3ea9f/test.png"]];
imageView.image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:receivedData] ;
[subView addSubview:imageView];
[imageView release];
But I am getting exception after I successfully added more than 8000 image to my subview. I am getting exception at getting data from the url. And one more thing I am not releasing the subview because once I downloaded them I need to animate the subview.
Please give me your suggessions
Thank you,
Sekhar Bethalam.
100,000 images would seem a lot for desktop applications, let alone a smart phone like an iPhone. Is there not another approach you can take to solve this problem that wouldn't need such a high resource count?
You can write the URL , images or something to a cached file, and divide some pages to animate the images...
When the user press a page link , application read and animate the images of this page, images of the page which user don't use need not display.
The only way you are going to accomplish this is to dynamically create and destroy the UIImageViews as they are needed on the screen. The iPhone/iPad/iAnything are incapable of doing what you want because of the limited memory available on the device.
I have a UIImageView, which pics up different images from the web, they are all different res. I have them to display as Aspect fit so that the whole picture displays even if it means leaving empty space on top or sides.
What i want to have the feature of doing is, once its displayed, to zoom in and out using the pinch or any other way.
NSURL* iURL = [NSURL URLWithString:tURL];
NSData* iData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:iURL];
UIImage* iImage;
iImage = [UIImage imageWithData:iData];
FullScreenImage.image = iImage;
All this code is being executed on another thread, then it returns to the main thread and is displayed on a view using
[navigationController pushViewController:vFullscreen animated:YES];
Thanks for the help
You will need to use a UIScrollView as UIImageView does not offer any built-in zooming. See the Apple example entitled: ScrollViewSuite
