Rotate a view for 360 degrees indefinitely in Swift?

Question

I want to rotate an image view for 360 degrees indefinitely.

UIView.animate(withDuration: 2, delay: 0, options: [.repeat], animations: {
    self.view.transform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: 6.28318530717959)
}, completion: nil)

How can I do it?

Answer 1

UPDATE Swift 5.x

// duration will helps to control rotation speed
 private func rotateView(targetView: UIView, duration: Double = 5) {
    UIView.animate(withDuration: duration, delay: 0.0, options: .curveLinear, animations: {
        targetView.transform = targetView.transform.rotated(by: .pi)
    }) { finished in
        self.rotateView(targetView: targetView, duration: duration)
    }
}

Swift 2.x way to rotate UIView indefinitely, compiled from earlier answers:

// Rotate <targetView> indefinitely
private func rotateView(targetView: UIView, duration: Double = 1.0) {
    UIView.animateWithDuration(duration, delay: 0.0, options: .CurveLinear, animations: {
        targetView.transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(targetView.transform, CGFloat(M_PI))
    }) { finished in
        self.rotateView(targetView, duration: duration)
    }
}

UPDATE Swift 3.x

// Rotate <targetView> indefinitely
private func rotateView(targetView: UIView, duration: Double = 1.0) {
    UIView.animate(withDuration: duration, delay: 0.0, options: .curveLinear, animations: {
        targetView.transform = targetView.transform.rotated(by: CGFloat(M_PI))
    }) { finished in
        self.rotateView(targetView: targetView, duration: duration)
    }
}

Swift 3.0

let imgViewRing = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "apple"))
imgViewRing.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: UIImage(named: "apple")!.size.width, height: UIImage(named: "apple")!.size.height)
imgViewRing.center = CGPoint(x: self.view.frame.size.width/2.0, y: self.view.frame.size.height/2.0)
rotateAnimation(imageView: imgViewRing)
self.view.addSubview(imgViewRing)

This is the animation logic

func rotateAnimation(imageView:UIImageView,duration: CFTimeInterval = 2.0) {
        let rotateAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "transform.rotation")
        rotateAnimation.fromValue = 0.0
        rotateAnimation.toValue = CGFloat(.pi * 2.0)
        rotateAnimation.duration = duration
        rotateAnimation.repeatCount = .greatestFiniteMagnitude

        imageView.layer.add(rotateAnimation, forKey: nil)
    }

Use this extension to rotate UIImageView 360 degrees.

extension UIView {
func rotate360Degrees(duration: CFTimeInterval = 1.0, completionDelegate: AnyObject? = nil) {
    let rotateAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "transform.rotation")
    rotateAnimation.fromValue = 0.0
    rotateAnimation.toValue = CGFloat(M_PI)
    rotateAnimation.duration = duration

    if let delegate: CAAnimationDelegate = completionDelegate as! CAAnimationDelegate? {
        rotateAnimation.delegate = delegate
    }
    self.layer.addAnimation(rotateAnimation, forKey: nil)
}
}

Than to rotate UIImageView simply use this method

self.YOUR_SUBVIEW.rotate360Degrees()

Answer 4

This one work for me in Swift 2.2:

let rotationAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "transform.rotation.z")
rotationAnimation.fromValue = 0.0
rotationAnimation.toValue = 360 * CGFloat(M_PI/180)
let innerAnimationDuration : CGFloat = 1.0
rotationAnimation.duration = Double(innerAnimationDuration)
rotationAnimation.repeatCount = HUGE
self.imageView.addAnimation(rotationAnimation, forKey: "rotateInner")
