UILabel animate the width

Question

How do we go about animating the UILabel's width so that it increases and decreases in width only using UIView animateWithDuration

Thank you for your help (at this point i'm so frustrated as I've been trying to do so but it does not work)

Answer 1

You can set the frame of the UILabel inside the UIView animation block. Something like this:

CGRect originalFrame = self.address.frame;

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3
                 animations:^{
    self.myLabel.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100);
}
                 completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                     // use similar UIView animation to resize back to original
                 }];

Obviously the dimensions you feed in will depend on your app, and may be calculated based on the content.
