How can I use this downloaded Class(es) on my Prototype Routine?
- by O.C.
I'm a newbie and I'm in need of some help. I'm working on a prototype for an app, but I'm learning at the same time.
I want to display a popup image over a given UIView, but I would like it to behave like the UIAlertView or like the Facebook Connect for iPhone modal popup window, in that it has a bouncy, rubbber-band-like animation to it.
I was able to find the following class(es) on the net, from someone who was trying to do something similar. He/she put this together, but there was no Demo, no instructions nor a way to contact them.
Being that I am so new, I don't have any idea as to how to incorporate this into my code.
This is the routine where I need the bouncy image to appear...
//========================================================
//
// productDetail
//
- (void) showProductDetail
{
_productDetailIndex++;
if (_productDetailIndex > 7) { return; }
else if (_productDetailIndex == 1) {
NSString* filename = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"images/ICS_CatalogApp_0%d_ProductDetailPopup.png", _productDetailIndex];
[_productDetail setImageWithName:filename];
_productDetail.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.1,0.1);
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
// other animations goes here
_productDetail.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1,1);
// other animations goes here
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
NSString* filename = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"images/ICS_CatalogApp_0%d_ProductDetailPopup.png", _productDetailIndex];
[_productDetail setImageWithName:filename];
_productDetail.x = (self.width - _productDetail.width);
_productDetail.y = (self.height - _productDetail.height);
}
and here is the code I found...
float pulsesteps[3] = { 0.2, 1/15., 1/7.5 };
- (void) pulse {
self.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.6, 0.6);
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:pulsesteps[0]];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
[UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:@selector(pulseGrowAnimationDidStop:finished:context:)];
self.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.1, 1.1);
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
- (void)pulseGrowAnimationDidStop:(NSString *)animationID finished:(NSNumber *)finished context:(void *)context {
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:pulsesteps[1]];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
[UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:@selector(pulseShrinkAnimationDidStop:finished:context:)];
self.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.9, 0.9);
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
- (void)pulseShrinkAnimationDidStop:(NSString *)animationID finished:(NSNumber *)finished context:(void *)context {
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:pulsesteps[2]];
self.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
My routine is based on the Prototyping class given by Apple during WWDC 09. It may not be "correct" but it works as is. I just would like to add the animation to this image/screen to really make the concept clear.
