UIView removeFromSuperView animation delay
- by Mike
I have a method which animates one of the subviews of UIWindow and then removes it from UIWindow using removeFromSuperview. But when I put removeFromSuperview after animation block, the animation never shows, because removeFromSuperview removes the UIView from UIWindow before the animation plays :-( How can I delay removeFromSuperview so the animation plays first, and then subview is removed? I tried [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:1]; after animation block but that didn't have desired effect, because animation sleeps too for some reason.
My code for this method:
- (void) animateAndRemove
{
NSObject *mainWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.8];
UIView *theView = nil;
for (UIView *currentView in [mainWindow subviews])
{
if (currentView.tag == 666)
{
currentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.8 green:0.8 blue:0.8 alpha:0.0];
theView = currentView;
}
}
[UIView setAnimationTransition: UIViewAnimationTransitionNone forView:theView cache:YES];
[UIView commitAnimations];
//[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:1];
[theView removeFromSuperview];
}
