Brief introduction to adding core animation to your iphone application.

1. CORE ANIMATION
Animated UIs on the iPhone
Monday, October 12, 2009

2. WHY ANIMATE?
Animation brings ‘real world’ feel to user interfaces
Provides clues to what is happening in the UI
Makes the UI feel more responsive

3. PLEAS DON’T
Make your UI Animated just for the sake of animation

10. SIMPLE STUFF FIRST
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches Begin Animations
withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[UIView beginAnimations:@"imageMove" context:NULL];
CGPoint location = [[touches anyObject]
locationInView:self.view];
self.imageView.center = location;
[UIView commitAnimations];
}

11. SIMPLE STUFF FIRST
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches
withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[UIView beginAnimations:@"imageMove" context:NULL];
CGPoint location = [[touches anyObject]
locationInView:self.view];
self.imageView.center = location;
[UIView commitAnimations]; Calculate and set
}
the new location
