How to animate view from top to bottom? - iphone

Question

In my app I want to launch UIViewController from top to bottom.So from FirstViewController I am launching MyWebViewController(which I need to animate) as follows:
MyWebViewController *theWebViewController = [[MyWebViewController alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
[self.view addSubview:theWebViewController.view];
and In loadView of MyWebViewController I am assigning frame to view as follows;
- (void)loadView
{
CGRect theFrame;
theFrame = CGRectMake(0.0, 20.0, mFrame.size.width, 0.0);
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] init];
view.frame = theFrame;
self.view = view;
[view release];
}
and In viewDidLoad I am changing the frame as follows:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth |UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
[UIView beginAnimations:#"animateView" context: nil];
[UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 20.0, mFrame.size.width, mFrame.size.height-20.0);
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
But the animation is not happening.I even tried this code to animate from bottom to top and it is working fine but vice-versa not working.Please can anyone tell me where I am doing wrong and how I can achieve?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I wouldn't think to set the height to 0. Instead:
- (void)loadView
{
CGRect theFrame;
theFrame = CGRectMake(0.0, -mframe.size.height + 20, mFrame.size.width, m.frame.size.height - 20);
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] init];
view.frame = theFrame;
self.view = view;
[view release];
}
You want to set the frame above and out of the view when you add it. Then move it into place in the animation.
