iPhone: Animating a view when another view appears/disappears - iphone

I have the following view hierarchy
UITabBarController
- UINavigationController
- UITableViewController
When the table view appears (animated) I create a toolbar and add it as subview of the TabBar at the bottom of the page
and let it animate in with the table view. Same procedure in other direction, when the table view disappears.
It does not work as expected.
The animation duration is OK, but somehow not exact the same as the animation of the table view when it becomes visible
When I display the table view for the second time, the toolbar does not disappear at all and remains at the bottom of the
parent view.
What's wrong with it?
- (void)animationDone:(NSString *)animationID finished:(NSNumber *)finished context:(void *)context
{
UIView *toolBar = [[[self tabBarController] view] viewWithTag:1000];
[toolBar removeFromSuperview];
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
UIEdgeInsets insets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 44, 0);
[[self tableView] setContentInset:insets];
[[self tableView] setScrollIndicatorInsets:insets];
// Toolbar initially placed outside of the visible frame (x=320)
UIView *toolBar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(320, 480-44, 320, 44)];
[toolBar setTag:1000];
[[[self tabBarController] view] addSubview:toolBar];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.35];
[toolBar setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 480-44, 320, 44)];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[toolBar release];
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
UIView *toolBar = [[[self tabBarController] view] viewWithTag:1000];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.35];
[UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:#selector(animationDone:finished:context:)];
[toolBar setFrame:CGRectMake(320, 480-44, 320, 44)];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}

Have you tried just using the table view controller's toolbarItems property? UINavigationController will manage a toolbar for you, updating it with the toolbar items of its current topmost view controller; use the -setToolbarHidden:animated: method in your -viewWillAppear: and -viewWillDisappear: to control the visibility of that toolbar.

Animation doesn't start without view update

Sample on GitHub
I have a strange problem.
I have Navigation-based app with two UIViewControllers and Curl effect for transition between these.
I add to bar button and add custom action:
-(IBAction)pushPage
{
NSLog(#"push page");
SecondViewController *secondView = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[UIView beginAnimations:#"animation" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.75];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlUp forView:self.navigationController.view cache:NO];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondView animated:NO];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[secondView release];
}
In SecondView I have a button with action:
-(IBAction)back
{
[imageAnimationIssueAppDelegate backPage];
}
Method backPage in AppDelegate:
-(void)backPage
{
NSLog(#"backPage");
[UIView beginAnimations:#"animation" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.75];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlDown forView:self.navigationController.view cache:NO];
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
PROBLEM:
On the RootView I have UIImageView with animation:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
animImage.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"1.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"2.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"3.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"4.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"3.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"2.png"],
nil];
animImage.animationDuration = 0.5;
animImage.animationRepeatCount = 0;
}
I start it in viewDidAppear:
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
NSLog(#"First view - viewDidAppear");
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
[animImage startAnimating];
}
I stop it in viewDidDisapear:
- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
NSLog(#"First view - viewDidDisappear");
[super viewDidDisappear:animated];
[animImage stopAnimating];
}
When I back from SecondView animation is stoped! But [animImage isAnimating] say YES!
It doesn't start witout update screen - you can click to button on the bottom and see it!
Is it bug?
Animation works without custom transitions.
When I set animated:YES for push or pop view, animation works with custom transitions between views.
Why?
Is there simple way to update displaying view to start animation?
I think you should have to write
[yellowBatterfly startAnimating];
in viewDidLoad method. and change method from
viewDidAppear to viewWillAppear and
viewDidDisappear to viewWillDisappear.
Hope It will works...
I think you have to perform the animations on the view using:
[UIView commitAnimations]

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];

How to make a Subview pop-up from an action in UITableviewController

I would like to pop-up a subview pop-up from one of the actions performed by a button placedon a tableview controller.
I initially added a sub-view(initally hidden below the screen) and later want to animate it to
animate and pop-up.
Here is the code for the button action
-(IBAction) finalShareVerse: (id) sender
{
NSLog(#"finalShare Button");
UIView *tempView;
CGRect tmpFrame;
tempView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 490, 320, 90)]
autorelease];
[tempView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[tempView setAlpha:.87];
[self.view addSubview:tempView];
tmpFrame = tempView.frame;
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:.75];
tmpFrame.origin.y=390;
self.view.frame=tmpFrame;
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
The problem is that now the parent controller gets animated and popped down instead of
the subview to be popped up.
Is there a way to specify the animation to trigger on only the sub view.
I am new to iPhone app dev.. Please advise.
If I understand correctly, the problem is the line:
self.view.frame=tmpFrame;
You are applying the change of position to the view rather than the tmpView

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,
--d
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!

Flip views in iPhone?

I have a UIView which has a button, On the button's tap I am showing a new UIView which contain a UINavigationBar and a UITableView. Is there any way to animate a flip effect on button's tap and load the view and also vice versa ?
Sure, here is some code that may help
- (void)flipAction:(id)sender
{
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.75];
// checks to see if the view is attached
[UIView setAnimationTransition:([logTextView superview] ?
UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft : UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight)
forView:[self view] cache:YES];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:([logTextView superview] ?
UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft : UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight)
forView:[[self navigationController] view] cache:YES];
if ([logTextView superview])
{
[logTextView removeFromSuperview];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(#"FTP Log", nil) style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(viewFtpLog)];
}
else
{
[[self view] addSubview:logTextView];
[[[self navigationItem] rightBarButtonItem] release];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(#"Done", nil) style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(flipAction:)];
}
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
For you, you might want to get the UIView for your table view. The button is what triggers the flip
