How to get animation end notification - iphone

Question

I want to do some action once animation ended.
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.80f];
self.view.transform =
CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(
self.view.frame.origin.x,
480.0f + (self.view.frame.size.height/2) // move the whole view offscreen
);
[self.view setAlpha:0];
[UIView commitAnimations];
I have done animation like above, How to find out animation ended, so that I can do my action after that.

Answer 1

Use this:
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.80f animations:^{
self.view.transform =
CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(
self.view.frame.origin.x,
480.0f + (self.view.frame.size.height/2) // move the whole view offscreen
);
[self.view setAlpha:0];
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
// your code
}];

Answer 2

Add this to your animation:
[UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:#selector(myAnimationEnded)];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
and this method will tell you when it stops;
- (void)myAnimationEnded{
NSLog(#"animation ended");
}

Answer 3

Use the UIView's -animateWithDuration:animations:completion: class method.
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.8 animations:^{
CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(
self.view.frame.origin.x,
480.0f + (self.view.frame.size.height/2) // move the whole view offscreen
);
[self.view setAlpha:0];
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
//this block is called when the animation is over
}];

Answer 4

Write your code after [UIView commitAnimations];. The animation remains between the beginAnimations and the commitAnimations.

Answer 5

Not that setAnimationDelegate
Use of this method is discouraged in iOS 4.0 and later. If you are using the block-based animation methods, you can include your delegate’s start and end code directly inside your block.
