【Animation】Animating Sample Code

1. Performing a simple block-based animation 

[UIView animateWithDuration:1.0 animations:^{
          firstView.alpha = 0.0;
          secondView.alpha = 1.0;
}];

The animations in the preceding example run only once using an ease-in, ease-out animation curve.  

2.  Creating an animation block with custom options 

- (IBAction)showHideView:(id)sender
  {
      // Fade out the view right away
      [UIView animateWithDuration:1.0
          delay: 0.0
          options: UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn
animations:^{
               thirdView.alpha = 0.0;
          }
          completion:^(BOOL finished){

// Wait one second and then fade in the view
[UIView animateWithDuration:1.0
     delay: 1.0
     options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut
     animations:^{
        thirdView.alpha = 1.0;
     }
     completion:nil];<pre name="code" class="objc" style="font-size: 13px;">    }]; 

}

Using a completion handler is the primary way that you link multiple animations. 

3.  Performing a simple begin/commit animation （iOS 3.2  and earlier）

[UIView beginAnimations:@"ToggleViews" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
// Make the animatable changes.
firstView.alpha = 0.0;
secondView.alpha = 1.0;
// Commit the changes and perform the animation.
[UIView commitAnimations];

4.  Nesting animations that have different configurations 

[UIView animateWithDuration:1.0
          delay: 1.0
          options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut
          animations:^{
              aView.alpha = 0.0;
// Create a nested animation that has a different
              // duration, timing curve, and configuration.
              [UIView animateWithDuration:0.2
                   delay:0.0
                   options: UIViewAnimationOptionOverrideInheritedCurve |
                            UIViewAnimationOptionCurveLinear |
                            UIViewAnimationOptionOverrideInheritedDuration |
                            UIViewAnimationOptionRepeat |
                            UIViewAnimationOptionAutoreverse
                   animations:^{
                        [UIView setAnimationRepeatCount:2.5];
                        anotherView.alpha = 0.0;
                   }
                   completion:nil];
          }
          completion:nil];

The UIViewAnimationOptionOverrideInheritedCurveandUIViewAnimationOptionOverrideInheritedDurationkeys used in the nested animation block allowthe curve and duration values from the first animation to be modified for the second animation. If these keyswere not present, the duration and curve of the outer animation block would be used instead. 

5.  Changing the Subviews of a View 

- (IBAction)displayNewPage:(id)sender
{
    [UIView transitionWithView:self.view
        duration:1.0
        options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCurlUp
        animations:^{
            currentTextView.hidden = YES;
            swapTextView.hidden = NO;
        }
        completion:^(BOOL finished){
            // Save the old text and then swap the views.
            [self saveNotes:temp];
            UIView*    temp = currentTextView;
            currentTextView = swapTextView;
            swapTextView = temp;
}]; }

6. 

Replacing a View with a Different View 

- (IBAction)toggleMainViews:(id)sender {
    [UIView transitionFromView:(displayingPrimary ? primaryView : secondaryView)
:
}
toView:(displayingPrimary ? secondaryView : primaryView)
duration:1.0
options:(displayingPrimary ? UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromRight
            UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromLeft)
completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    if (finished) {
        displayingPrimary = !displayingPrimary;
} }];
