How do you create a wiggle animation similar to iphone deletion animation

Question

We are currently developing an application that contains a series of icons. We want the icons to wiggle like the app deletion animations when pressed. What would be the best way to code this animation sequence?

Answer 1

The answer by Vinzius is very cool. However the wobble only rotates from 0 Radians to 0.08. Thus the wobble can look a little unbalanced. If you get this same issue then you may want to add both a negative and a positive rotation by using a CAKeyframeAnimation rather than a CABasicRotation:

- (CAAnimation*)getShakeAnimation  {     CAKeyframeAnimation* animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"transform"];      CGFloat wobbleAngle = 0.06f;      NSValue* valLeft = [NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:CATransform3DMakeRotation(wobbleAngle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)];     NSValue* valRight = [NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:CATransform3DMakeRotation(-wobbleAngle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)];     animation.values = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:valLeft, valRight, nil];      animation.autoreverses = YES;       animation.duration = 0.125;     animation.repeatCount = HUGE_VALF;        return animation;     } 

You can use this animation method for your view or button like this.

[self.yourbutton.layer addAnimation:[self getShakeAnimation] forKey:@""]; 

Answer 2

Looking at the iOS implementation a bit closer, there are two things that make theirs a bit more realistic than the code mentioned here:

• The icons appear to have a bounce as well as a rotation
• Every icon has its own timing -- they are not all synchronized

I based myself on the answers here (and with some help from this answer) to add the rotation, the bounce and a bit of randomness to the duration of each animation.

#define kWiggleBounceY 4.0f
#define kWiggleBounceDuration 0.12
#define kWiggleBounceDurationVariance 0.025

#define kWiggleRotateAngle 0.06f
#define kWiggleRotateDuration 0.1
#define kWiggleRotateDurationVariance 0.025

-(void)startWiggling {
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0
                     animations:^{
                         [self.layer addAnimation:[self rotationAnimation] forKey:@"rotation"];
                         [self.layer addAnimation:[self bounceAnimation] forKey:@"bounce"];
                         self.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
                     }];
}

-(CAAnimation*)rotationAnimation {
    CAKeyframeAnimation* animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"transform.rotation.z"];
    animation.values = @[@(-kWiggleRotateAngle), @(kWiggleRotateAngle)];

    animation.autoreverses = YES;
    animation.duration = [self randomizeInterval:kWiggleRotateDuration
                                    withVariance:kWiggleRotateDurationVariance];
    animation.repeatCount = HUGE_VALF;

    return animation;
}

-(CAAnimation*)bounceAnimation {
    CAKeyframeAnimation* animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"transform.translation.y"];
    animation.values = @[@(kWiggleBounceY), @(0.0)];

    animation.autoreverses = YES;
    animation.duration = [self randomizeInterval:kWiggleBounceDuration
                                    withVariance:kWiggleBounceDurationVariance];
    animation.repeatCount = HUGE_VALF;

    return animation;
}

-(NSTimeInterval)randomizeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)interval withVariance:(double)variance {
    double random = (arc4random_uniform(1000) - 500.0) / 500.0;
    return interval + variance * random;
}

I implemented this code on a UICollectionView which had 30 items bouncing and the performance was flawless on an iPad 2.

SWIFT :-

let transformAnim  = CAKeyframeAnimation(keyPath:"transform")
transformAnim.values  = [NSValue(CATransform3D: CATransform3DMakeRotation(0.04, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)),NSValue(CATransform3D: CATransform3DMakeRotation(-0.04 , 0, 0, 1))]
transformAnim.autoreverses = true
transformAnim.duration  = (Double(indexPath.row)%2) == 0 ?   0.115 : 0.105
transformAnim.repeatCount = Float.infinity
self.layer.addAnimation(transformAnim, forKey: "transform")

Objective C :-

-(CAKeyframeAnimation *)wiggleView
{
    CAKeyframeAnimation* animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"transform"];

    CGFloat wobbleAngle = 0.04f;

    NSValue* valLeft = [NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:CATransform3DMakeRotation(wobbleAngle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)];
    NSValue* valRight = [NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:CATransform3DMakeRotation(-wobbleAngle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)];
    animation.values = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:valLeft, valRight, nil];

    animation.autoreverses = YES;
    animation.duration = 0.125;
    animation.repeatCount = HUGE_VALF;

    return animation;
}
