UIView slide transition

[gplumb]

Hi guys (and girls! )

I was wondering how I could achieve a slide left/right with a UIView?
I got the standard flip transition working using the following code:

// Flippin' marvellous!
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFl ipFromLeft forView:window cache:YES];

[[mainScreenController view] removeFromSuperview];
[window addSubview:[myNextScreenController view]];
[UIView commitAnimations];


I was wondering how would I modify this code to slide the second view in from right to left? (Sorry, I am a n00b to ObjC/iPhone atm!)

Thanks
Gee

// get the view that's currently showing
	UIView *currentView = self.view;
	// get the the underlying UIWindow, or the view containing the current view view
	UIView *theWindow = [currentView superview];
	
	// remove the current view and replace with myView1
	[currentView removeFromSuperview];
	//[theWindow addSubview:newView];
	
	// set up an animation for the transition between the views
	CATransition *animation = [CATransition animation];
	[animation setDuration:0.5];
	[animation setType:kCATransitionPush];
	[animation setSubtype:kCATransitionFromLeft];
	[animation setTimingFunction:[CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut]];
	
	[[theWindow layer] addAnimation:animation forKey:@"SwitchToView1"];

Hi Bertrand21

Thank you for your help - this code was exactly what I was after. I removed the first couple of lines as I already had these set up as properties

Just a quick note to anyone else who is also new to this, you will need to import the QuartzCore framework and add the appropriate #import line at the top of your code.

Thanks
Gee

Thanks for this! Worked perfectly

Hi,

I followed the above code and the view slides nicely. Though the new view never shows up.

In the "SwitchToView1" method I do the following:

[self.view addSubview:newView]

Plz, can someone let me know what I am missing.

Thanks.

Just for those who are stranded like I was ...here's some code that worked for me. with this the new view slid in
//1. Add the QuatzCore Framework from library to the Frameworks folder
//2. At the top include the header file

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

//3. Implement the code

yourViewController = [[YourViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:@"YourViewController"
bundle:nil];
// get the view that's currently showing
UIView *currentView = self.view;
// get the the underlying UIWindow, or the view containing the current view
UIView *theWindow = [currentView superview];

UIView *newView = yourViewController.view;

// remove the current view and replace with myView1
[currentView removeFromSuperview];
[theWindow addSubview:newView];

// set up an animation for the transition between the views
CATransition *animation = [CATransition animation];
[animation setDuration:0.5];
[animation setType:kCATransitionPush];
[animation setSubtype:kCATransitionFromRight];
[animation setTimingFunction:[CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseO ut]];

[[theWindow layer] addAnimation:animation forKey:@"SwitchToView1"];

Hey guys, all this seems to work, just doesn't seem to create a valid reference to the new viewController.

After the transition any (IBAction) calls from the new view seem to crash the application...am I missing something here?

*EDIT*

Managed to get it to work, but this method seems to have a bunch of issues when it comes to orientation...

Wander if there is a way to get it to closer emulate presentModalViewController behaviour (i.e new view is animated with correct orientation and size)
