I'm working on a project to learn animations and am having trouble using the completion block for the UIView.animate(withDuration:)
func. MY animation is a shoebox that falls from the top of the screen, lands on a pedestal, then opens. Once the box opens I want a UIImageView to come out of the box, grow to full size of the screen and then segue to the next page, but the completion handler that the code for segueing is called before my animation completes and the UIImageView doesn't appear at all.
Here's my code:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 1.5, delay: 0.0, options: .curveEaseInOut,
animations: {
//Opening the box
self.shoeBoxImage.shoeBox.animationImages = self.boxOpeningAnimation
self.shoeBoxImage.shoeBox.animationDuration = 1.5
self.shoeBoxImage.shoeBox.animationRepeatCount = 1
self.shoeBoxImage.shoeBox.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
self.shoeBoxImage.shoeBox.startAnimating()
//set to the final image
self.shoeBoxImage.shoeBox.image = UIImage(named: "frame13")
},completion: {_ in
let nextPage = UIImageView()
nextPage.frame = CGRect(origin: self.shoeBoxImage.center, size: CGSize(width: 0.0, height: 0.0))
nextPage.image = UIImage(named: "FirstLoadBackgroundImg.jpeg")
nextPage.autoresizesSubviews = true
self.view.addSubview(nextPage)
self.view.bringSubviewToFront(nextPage)
UIView.animate(withDuration: 5.0, animations: {
nextPage.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 428, y: 926)
})
self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "FinishedLoading", sender: self)
})
}
This is my first time working with animations and programatically creating views so if someone could explain how to make the completion block wait for the animation to complete. In order to make the UIImageView appear and animate then once it's full screen, segue to the next page it would be very much appreciated.
The size is 0, 0. Transforming zero by any scale is still zero. I would advise you to not use transform at all, but rather just set the final frame
to be what you want.
E.g.,
let startFrame = CGRect(x: view.bounds.midX, y: view.bounds.midY, width: 0, height: 0)
let endFrame = view.bounds
let imageView = UIImageView(image: ...)
imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
view.addSubview(imageView)
imageView.frame = startFrame
UIView.animate(withDuration: 3, delay: 0, options: .curveEaseInOut) {
imageView.frame = endFrame
} completion: { _ in
// do something here
}
That yields:
By the way, the performSegue
probably should be inside a completion
closure of the inner animate
call.
