I'm using the following code to make a small view disappear at the bottom of the screen:
int y_dest = self.application.windows.frame.size.height;
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.33f];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
[UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:#selector(closeAnimationDidStop:finished:context:)];
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, y_dest, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height);
[UIView commitAnimations];
This works perfectly when the view is at the bottom of the screen but now I have to add it to the window above a TabBar meaning that the view is now animated over the top of the tabbar rather than behind it. Is there any way to have the view "disappear" behind the tabbar?
I've tried a combination of things so far including creating a "mask" view of the same size as the animated view and placing that in the window but for some reason that view did not appear at all. I also tried using insertSubview:belowSubview which made no difference. I'm sure I must be missing something here.
Thanks in advance!enter code here
Is it:
[self bringSubviewToFront:yourView] you are looking for?

I'm a newbie in iOS.
I have 5 views, one mainview and the others are like thumbnails. How can I replace view.
For example, if mainview(view1) has picture 1, view2 has picture 2, view3 has picture 3 etc.
How can I replace picture 1 with picture 2 so that View2 come in to the mainview?
Could some one help me to solve this problem?
Yes this could be done esily like this
View_1 is the first view
View_2 is the second view
containerView is the main super view for View_1
View_1 is the currently visible view
[UIView beginAnimations:#"doTheFlipping" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:.5];
[UIView setAnimationDelay:0];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
[UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:#selector(myTransitionDidStop:finished:context:)];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:containerView cache:YES];
[View_1 removeFromSuperview];
[containerView addSubview:View_2];
[UIView commitAnimations];
This will create a flip view for view 1 to view 2
you not use separate views for this. see this page and download sample code from here to see detail. this is pageControl

OKay I have been working on this problem for a while now, And It is well beyond my expertise thus why I am asking for help again.
I am trying to animate the transition for a tabbarbutton click to another view. I have declared in both viewController (ViewWillAppear) methods the code below
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
//TODO: Fix transition animation
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight
forView:self.view cache:YES];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseOut];
[UIView commitAnimations];
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
}
FirstViewController to the right and SecondViewController to the left.
Now the problem is happening when the user loads the app for the first time, once everything loads up and the user clicks on the tabbarbutton to go to the second view, it dose not flip.. but when you go back to the FirstView it animates then if you go to the second again it will animate this time round.. Dose anyone have any idea why this is happeneing? if you do your help would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE::
I am trying to add a animation into viewDidLoad, however there is already an animation for an opening sequence I am loading straight away.
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
//-- Start Opening Animation ------->
CGRect vaultTopFrame = vaultTop.frame;
vaultTopFrame.origin.y = -vaultTopFrame.size.height;
CGRect vaultBottomFrame = vaultBottom.frame;
vaultBottomFrame.origin.y = self.view.bounds.size.height;
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:2.5];
[UIView setAnimationDelay:2.0];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
vaultTop.frame = vaultTopFrame;
vaultBottom.frame = vaultBottomFrame;
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:vaultTop]; //this should place this subview above any others on the same page
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:vaultBottom]; //this should place this subview above any others on the same page
[UIView commitAnimations];
I think this might be messing things up for me what do you think?
You do not have animation when the app loads up. Set animation in viewDidLoad for animation when the view loads up and viewDidAppear will give you animations when the user makes transition after wards (every time the tab is clicked).
This may or may not be the problem, but you should call
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
at the beginning of the method, before your animation code.
I did some digging around about this, but nothing really seems to answer my particular question (not even this: Is it possbile to removeFromSuperview with Animation?).
Basically, my app starts with a welcome screen, where a user clicks on "sign in", then goes to the sign in view, then getting to a tab bar view, which is the actual app.
The way I did it, is that I wrote a custom class - TabBarController, which sets up all the tabs and their respective view controllers. Now, when the user clicks on "sign in" i am calling removeFromSuperview and present the tabbar.
I am trying to find a way to animate the transition from the sign in page to the tab bar. I tried some proposed solutions around here, but none seems to do the job. Here is my code in the signin.m view controller. I am looking to animate out the current view (ideally, not just by fading out, but more cool stuff like flips, etc.).
//when done signing in --> go to the tab bar view
-(IBAction)done:(id)sender {
TabBarController *tabController = [[TabBarController alloc] init];
[UIView beginAnimations:#"removeWithEffect" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:4.0];
self.parentViewController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,320,480);
self.parentViewController.view.alpha = 1.0f;
[UIView commitAnimations];
[self.parentViewController.view performSelector:#selector(removeFromSuperview) withObject:nil afterDelay:2.5f];
[self presentModalViewController:tabController animated:YES];
}
Appreciate any help!
That can't work that way. presentModalViewController dislpays the view of a viewController over the own view. It won't replace the source viewController (self).
Since you remove self.parentViewController.view from the view hierarchy, it can't present your tabController modally because you have removed self.
Anyway, i would recommend you another way to achieve your view layout:
Create a tabBarViewController and add its view to a rootView (self.window in the app delegate or whatever you are using now). Then add your login-view to the same view. Due the view hierarchy, the login-view will be displayed above the tabBar.view. And the done button should be implemented this way: (i'm using block syntax for animation as it should be)
-(IBAction)done:(id)sender {
[UIView animateWithDuration:1.0
animations:^{
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 480, 320, 480);
self.view.alpha = 0.0
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
[self.view removeFromSuperView];
}
];
}
You can animate more things than just the alpha, size or position. Just take a look about animations in the documentation. I guess, you'll be interested in view.transform to commit flip animations. ;)
This is how you have to remove the view after animating it.
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
[UIView setAnimationDelay:2.0];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:myView];
[UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:#selector(removeFromSuperview)];
[UIView commitAnimations];
Hope this helps.
Happy coding.
this feels like a beginner question, but since I am not able to get it working in the intended-fashion, I am hoping somewhere out there is able to point me in the right direction.
What I am trying to achive is a transition of a view inside a view.
I fundamentally want to replace a view inside a view with another view(controller?!?) 's content.
lets say, I have an image of a book and I want to do a transition inside the book to another page (going from the calendar-view to the detailed daily view for example). I only want the "book-content"(white content area) to be included in that transition, and not the whole book itself(whole screen).
I can do a transition with the same view, no problem, but I dont get it working trying to replace the view with a completly different view.
It didnt matter having the views in seperate viewcontrollers, or all the views in one viewcontroller, so I were not able to get it working yet, but even worse, I am running out of ideas.
So HELP! If please somebody out there could be so kind and tell me what I am doing wrong.
Suggestions also very much appreciated.
Thanks!!

Maybe you could hide one view then show the other using a UIView Animations block.
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:view1.view cache:YES];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:view2.view cache:YES];
[UIView setAnimationDuration: 1.5];
[UIView commitAnimations];
view1.view.hidden = YES;
view2.view.hidden = NO;
Edit: Is this what you were looking for?
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.5];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:self.view cache:YES];
[view1 viewWillDisappear:YES];
[view2 viewWillAppear:YES];
view1.view.hidden = YES;
view2.view.hidden = NO;
[view1 viewDidDisappear:YES];
[view2 viewDidAppear:YES];
[UIView commitAnimations];
Or, you could use something like this:
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5
delay:0.0
options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromRight
animations:^{
[view1 removeFromSuperview];
[mySuperview addSubview:view2];
}
completion:nil];
Check out the exchangeSubviewsAtIndex: method in the UIView class. Just set up the 2 views that you want to transition from and to as subviews of another view; then call this method on that parent view.
Suppose you have a view controller with two views, A and B. They have identical frames so they occupy the same space in the controller's view, for your purposes displaying a page of a book. You want to display one and transition to the other.
One way would be to set the alpha property of one to 1.0 (opaque) and the other to 0.0 (transparent). Because this property can be animated you could do a fade from one to the other using a beginAnimations:context/commitAnimations, or use one of the block methods like the docs advise.
Another way would be to animate a change in frame in the two views. Set up the views so that one has a frame such that it is in the right place to display, the other has the same frame but with frame.origin.x equal to frame.size.width - it will be hidden because it is off-screen or hidden behind some other view. Animate the frame in by setting view A's frame.origin.x to -frame.size.width and frame B's frame.origin.x to the display position x origin. Then set (no animation) frame A's frame.origin.x to frame.origin.width again, update its content and you are ready to slide another page in from the right.
I have added a button on a view(the view is of the same size as the button). When that button is clicked a new view has to be displayed. So in the button's event handler I have added the newview as a subview of the view on which the button is added, so that the newview gets displayed when the button is clicked. The thing here I need to do is, when I click on the button, the newview has to be invoked from top to bottom (it has to look like it slides down from the button's view). When the same button is clicked again, the newview has to scrollback(slide) and disappear. I know that I need to apply some animation stuff to get this effect. But I have no idea how to do this. Can you please help me giving some ideas.
Thanks in advance!!!
Well you can animate the size of your window to simulate the slide from top like this:
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3];
myView.frame = CGRectMake(0, buttonHeight+buttonTop, myView.frame.size.width, viewTargetHeight);
[UIView commitAnimations];
Make sure you set the view height to 0 when you create it.
To scroll it back up just do the opposite
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3];
myView.frame = CGRectMake(0, buttonHeight+buttonTop, myView.frame.size.width, 0);
[UIView commitAnimations];
If you actually want your new view to slide you can try animating both the size and the position and you'll also probably need to clip your animated view with another view.
