iPhone View Animation - iphone

I am trying to switch views, but I want the animation with the view lifts up and its like a piece of paper folding to see what is underneath.
Any tutorials or examples of how to get that view animation, if it is an animation, would be appreciated.
Actually the view that the maps app uses when you hit the button on the corner.

Something like this should work:
MyViewController *myView = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MyViewController" bundle:nil];
myView.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:)] autorelease];
UINavigationController *navigation = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:myView];
navigation.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl;
navigation.delegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:navigation animated:YES];
The key here is the modalTransitionStyle property needs to be set to UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl before presenting the modal view.
More info here: UIViewController Class Reference (look for modalPresentationStyle, modalTransitionStyle, presentModalViewController:animated:, and dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:).

There are two basic ways of doing this, the old one which is no longer recommended:
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlDown
forView:containerView cache:YES];
[containerView addSubview:subview];
[UIView commitAnimations];
And the new one (It uses blocks which are supported from iOS 4 and on):
[UIView transitionWithView:containerView duration:0.5
options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCurlDown
animations:^ { [containerView addSubview:subview]; }
completion:nil];

can not scroll table up and down after using animation and a navigation bar disappears

My first view contains a button and after pressing a button, i will end up with the second view. what I have done is
FirstViewController.m
- (void)pushToWishList {
SecondViewController *controller = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondView" bundle:nil ];
[UIView beginAnimations:#"flipping view" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlDown forView:self.view cache:YES];
[self.view addSubview:controller.view];
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
SecondViewController is an UIViewController such that :
SecondViewController.h :
#interface SecondViewController :
UIViewController
SecondViewController.m
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = NO;
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = NO;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
What is happening is the top navigation is disppearing and the UITableView in my second view can not be scrolled up and down. My program is crashed whenever I try to do this.
Please advice me on this issue. Any comments are welcomed here.
First off its easier to not addSubview: just use this code to turn your page:
- (IBAction)myCart:(id)sender; {
viewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:viewController animated:YES];
}
This will allow your tableView to scroll! Also, your method return type is void, if you are using a button to call this method, you need to change the return type to IBAction which works for buttons.

iOS - Problem to open frame(other view) in view

I have a view, and a button in this view. When I press this button I need open other view as a frame. Searching I found this post: iOS -- how do you control the size of a modal view controller?
I modify this and I doing this in a IBAction connected to a button:
View2Controller *screen = [[View2Controller alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil]; //Line add
UIView *myHalfView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:screen.view.frame]; //Line modified by me
[self.view addSubview:myHalfView];
CGRect offScreenFrame = myHalfView.bounds;
offScreenFrame.origin = CGPointMake(0.0, CGRectGetMaxY(self.view.frame));
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
myHalfView.center = CGPointMake(myHalfView.center.x, myHalfView.center.y - myHalfView.bounds.size.height);
[UIView commitAnimations];
[myHalfView release];
But when I press that button nothing happens. I've verified the code runs in debug it step by step.
Thanks.
Take a peak at this it's golden... read the comments in there as well.

Your View2Controller is initialized without a nibname?
I typically have a xib I built in Interface Builder in and do the following (have the view in the xib be whatever size you want by default if it doesn't change):
MyViewController* controller = [[MyViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"MyViewController" bundle:nil];
[navigationController.view addSubview:controller.view];
//manipulate controller.view here
[controller release];
Thanks all for the replies. Finally I do this and works:
First in my IBAction:
View2Controller* modalViewController = [[[View2Controller alloc] initWithNibName:#"View2Controller" bundle:nil] autorelease];
[self.view addSubview:modalViewController.view];
Then in View2Controller.m in viewDidLoad:
[self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 1024, 128, 600)];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.75f];
[self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 404, 128, 600)];
[UIView commitAnimations];

UITableView Navigation Bar "Flickers" on Animation

I have a UIViewController, a "switcher" that will basically just rotate a view from one to another.
It all works great, except that the view that I am transitioning to is a UIViewController which holds a UITableViewController. For some reason, when the animation "flips", the navigation bar is invisible, and once the animation completes the navigation bar just appears.
It really doesn't look good and I was wondering if anyone knew why I might be seeing this and how I could fix it?
Thanks,

EDIT: Adding some code by request!
Switcher viewDidLoad method - Currently Initializing both of the ViewControllers because I thought it may help
[super viewDidLoad];
LogoView *logoController = [[LogoView alloc] init];
self.logoView = logoController;
[self.view insertSubview:logoView.view atIndex:0];
[logoController release];
MainController *vController = [[MainController alloc] init];
self.controller = vController;
[vController release];
switchTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:2 target:self selector:#selector(switchViews) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
Switcher switchViews method
[UIView beginAnimations:#"View Flip" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:.5];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
if (self.controller.view.superview == nil)
{
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:self.view cache:YES];
[controller viewWillAppear:YES];
[logoView viewWillDisappear:YES];
[logoView.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.view insertSubview:controller.view atIndex:0];
[logoView viewDidDisappear:YES];
[controller viewDidAppear:YES];
}
[UIView commitAnimations];
MainController viewDidLoad method
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 410);
FirstLevelController *controller = [[FirstLevelController alloc] init];
navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
navController.view.frame = frame;
navController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[controller release];
[self.view addSubview:navController.view];
Inside the FirstLevelController I just add the items to the table view... I've tried adding a navController.title = #"Home", but I am not even seeing the black navbar without text... it's just a big empty space.
Help is muchly appreciated!
Hah! I changed the animation "cache" from YES to NO, and it fixed it! Yay!

How to add UIview animation transition in MailComposerViewController?

I am using the following code:
- (void)flip
{
MailComposerViewController *mailView = [[MailComposerViewController alloc] init];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:2.0];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft
forView:window
cache:YES];
[mtController.view removeFromSuperview];
//[self.window addSubview:[mailComposer view]];
[self presentModalViewController:mailView animated:YES];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[mailView release]
}
here mtController is a navigation controller (XIB file). I removed it and I add mailview, but the simulator does not show it. What am I doing wrong?
What are you trying to do? Less Vague Questions Is A Good Thing™. Are you trying to use a standard Mail compose controller and use it to flip over instead of present normally?
If so, you can do this:
MailComposerViewController *mailView = [[[MailComposerViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
mailView.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:mailView animated:YES];

How can I change the animation style of a modal UIViewController?

I'm currently displaying a UIViewController like this:
[[self navigationController] presentModalViewController:modalViewController animated:YES];
and hiding it like this:
[self.navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
The animation is "slide up from the bottom"... then slide back down. How can I change the animation style? Can I made it fade in/out?
Cheers!
For iPhone 3.0+, a basic crossfade is easiest to do like this:
modalViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[[self navigationController] presentModalViewController:modalViewController
animated:YES];
Marcus Zarra posted a great solution to this on the SDK mailing list:
UIViewController *controller = [[[MyViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
UIViewAnimationTransition trans = UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlUp;
[UIView beginAnimations: nil context: nil];
[UIView setAnimationTransition: trans forView: [self window] cache: YES];
[navController presentModalViewController: controller animated: NO];
[UIView commitAnimations];
There are transitions for flipping and page-curling. If you are set on fading, can try adjusting your new view's alpha:
UIViewController *controller = [[[MyViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
controller.view.alpha = 0.0;
[navController presentModalViewController: controller animated: NO];
[UIView beginAnimations: nil context: nil];
controller.view.alpha = 1.0;
[UIView commitAnimations];
However, what you probably want is a crossfade, or at least a fade-over. When the UINavigationController switches to a new view, it removes the old one. For this effect, you're probably better off just adding a new view to your existing UIViewController and fading its alpha in over time.
Note: If you are not in your app delegate [self window] will not work. Use self.view.window , thanks to user412500's post for pointing this out.
To update for alpha fading in iOS 4:
modalController.view.alpha = 0.0;
[self.view.window.rootViewController presentModalViewController:modalController animated:NO];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5
animations:^{modalController.view.alpha = 1.0;}];
It should be [self.view.window] in order for the code to work
(at least that's the way that it is in ios 3.2)
