UIImageview animation problem? - iphone

i have one imageview in IB.i linked it perfectly in my view controller's IBoutlet
which is as IB_img .i have done in my viewdidload as
self.IB_img.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"img_1.jpg"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"img_2.jpg"],nil];
self.IB_img.animationDuration = 1;
self.IB_img.animationRepeatCount = 0;
[self.IB_img startAnimating];
it is not working perfectly....image is not in screen..but if i do it in without IB,in other words dynamically...it works perfectly...any help please to do animation with IB ?

You would have not set the Mose of the imageView as in required format.
You can do it as:
Try to set the one of the animation images as the image of your image view in xib(temporarily).
then set the image view's mode as strecthtofit or whatever suits you. now remove the image. and build you will see the image in proper position.

How to set up a default image

Before i click the image to pull the camera, i want to set up a default image on the imageview that shows a http://www.inc.com/images/avatar/default1.gif to inform that in that imageview goes a person image.
What is the best way to do this procedure?
Best regards.
If you are using a UIImageView the first thing is to create a UIImage object using this code
UIImage *defaultImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"default.png"];
And then pass it to the UIImageView object if it is a property of your view controller you can use this(imageView is the variable name of UIImageView)
self.imageView.image = defaultImage;
If you are instantiating a new UIImageView in your view controller you can use this
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:defaultImage];
UIImageView *theImageView;
//assuming that's the declaration in your header
//make sure default1.gif is inside your application bundle
//copied into the resources folder of your xcode project
//this code goes into your -viewDidLoad method
theImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"default1.gif"];

How to create a map (UIImage) with buttons on it that animate?

i have a map (just an image) and i want that a user can click on some places on the map. I think i can do that with adding buttons as subviews. But i also want to animate them. So for example want to have a ring form around the link position. And this ring should animate like pulsing or so. How can i do that the best way?

Not sure why nobody has tried to answer this but it's not too difficult.
First, create a UIImageView and configure it to animate your desired effect. The UIImageView documentation is very clear on what to do. Something like:
NSArray *imageArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"frame1.png],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"frame2.png],
...,nil];
UIImageView *animatedImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:myFrame];
animatedImageView.animatedImages = imageArray;
animatedImageView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[self.view addSubView:animatedImageView];
[animatedImageView startAnimating];
You then have to add the code to respond to touch events on the imageView.
Alternatively, you can create a UIButton subclass that displayed an animated UIImageView per above and then use the standard addTarget:action to respond to user actions.

regarding UIImageView Constant Animation

I have an image I want to animate constantly in UIImageView. Like some image object to move left and right?
Thanks in advance.
Create the animation in a image editor (or something else if you already have the animation)
Then save each frame as an image. Create a folder in your Xcode project and import the files into it. (in the example below each frame is named "frame-x.png" where x is the frame number)
Then create an array of UIImages and set the UIImageView's animationImages property to it:
imageView.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[UIImage imageNamed:#"frame-1"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"frame-2"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"frame-3"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"frame-4"],
nil];
Where you have a UIImage for each frame. You then start the animation:
[imageView startAnimation];
You can also set the animationRepeatCount property of the image view.
See the UIImageView Class Reference for more details.

UIImageView Fade In/Out with NSArray

I have an NSArray of images that I want to fade in/out between each other (much like how Flickr handles their home screen).
The problem I'm having is figuring out how to utilize the [UIView beginAnimations]; with the NSArray... any idea?
My code is below.
Thanks in advance!
NSArray *myImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"show_robmachado.jpg"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"show_losness.jpg"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"show_blanchard.jpg"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"show_tonino.jpg"],
nil];
homeAnimation.animationImages = myImages;
homeAnimation.animationRepeatCount = 0; // 0 = loops forever
homeAnimation.animationDuration = 7.0;
[homeAnimation startAnimating];
The array method is really for simple frame-based animations, not for transitions.
Instead I would have two UIImageViews at the same position, and set up a timer that would work through the array, using UIView animations to animate one image view fading to an alpha of 0 and the other to an alpha of 1. Then you'd get a kind of fading switch you are going for.
The .image property on a UIImageView might also be animatable, try in a timed loop changing .image on an image view in a UIView based animation block and see if you get a cross-fade.

3D Rotation of Object

I am trying to rotate my object like shakes dice.
please suggest simplest way to implement it in my iphone application.
Any kind of sample code or documentation.

If you want to do this without using OpenGL you can use a UIImageView and the set a series of animation images. By creating a series of images you can create a "rolling dice" effect. Here is an example of how to do this:
// create a UIImageView
UIImageView *rollDiceImageMainTemp = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"rollDiceAnimationImage1.png"]];
// position and size the UIImageView
rollDiceImageMainTemp.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100);
// create an array of images that will represent your animation (in this case the array contains 2 images but you will want more)
NSArray *savingHighScoreAnimationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"rollDiceAnimationImage1.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:#"rollDiceAnimationImage2.png"],
nil];
// set the new UIImageView to a property in your view controller
self.viewController.rollDiceImage = rollDiceImageMainTemp;
// release the UIImageView that you created with alloc and init to avoid memory leak
[rollDiceImageMainTemp release];
// set the animation images and duration, and repeat count on your UIImageView
[self.viewController.rollDiceImageMain setAnimationImages:savingHighScoreAnimationImages];
[self.viewController.rollDiceImageMain setAnimationDuration:2.0];
[self.viewController.rollDiceImageMain.animationRepeatCount:3];
// start the animation
[self.viewController.rollDiceImageMain startAnimating];
// show the new UIImageView
[self.viewController.view addSubview:self.rollDiceImageMain];
You can modify the creation and setup including the size, position, number of images, the duration, repeat count, etc as needed. I've used this feature of UIImageView to create simple animation effects and it works great!
Please let me know if you try this and if it works for your needs. Also, post any follow up questions.

nice your example, but do you think it's possible to rotate / control the rotation with touch gesture ?
