Here is my code. Intent is to continuously rotate the UIImageView named swirls[l]. However, there is a small pause between every rotation start/end. I have gone through every single animation tutorial but cant figure out what the mistake is?
let fullRotation = CGFloat(M_PI * 2)
let duration = 2.0
let delay = 0.0
let options = UIViewKeyframeAnimationOptions.Repeat | UIViewKeyframeAnimationOptions.CalculationModeLinear
UIView.animateKeyframesWithDuration(duration, delay: delay, options: options, animations: {
UIView.addKeyframeWithRelativeStartTime(0, relativeDuration: 1/3, animations: {
swirls[l].transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(1/3 * fullRotation)
})
UIView.addKeyframeWithRelativeStartTime(1/3, relativeDuration: 1/3, animations: {
swirls[l].transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(2/3 * fullRotation)
})
UIView.addKeyframeWithRelativeStartTime(2/3, relativeDuration: 1/3, animations: {
swirls[l].transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(3/3 * fullRotation)
})
}, completion: {finished in
})
EDIT: I see that it has been suggested that a previous solution is available, but it simply does not work for continuous uninterrupted rotation. The only trick that worked for me is the answer that I chose below. Thanks
Try below extension for swift 4.
extension UIView {
func rotate360Degrees(duration: CFTimeInterval = 3) {
let rotateAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "transform.rotation")
rotateAnimation.fromValue = 0.0
rotateAnimation.toValue = CGFloat(Double.pi * 2)
rotateAnimation.isRemovedOnCompletion = false
rotateAnimation.duration = duration
rotateAnimation.repeatCount=Float.infinity
self.layer.add(rotateAnimation, forKey: nil)
}
}
For start rotation.
MyView.rotate360Degrees()
And for Stop.
MyView.layer.removeAllAnimations()
You can use UIButton
, UILabel
and many more.
I'm not sure what's wrong with your code, but I've implemented continuous rotation using this method,
@IBAction func rotateView(sender: UIButton) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.5, delay: 0, options: .curveLinear, animations: { () -> Void in
self.spinningView.transform = self.spinningView.transform.rotated(by: .pi / 2)
}) { (finished) -> Void in
self.rotateView(sender: sender)
}
}
