Add a CAShapeLayer between annotation and MKMapView - objective-c

I'm trying to add an animation below the annotations of my MKMapView but with no luck.
I tryed to change the CAShapeLayer zPosition but the circle end up below the map.
Here is my current code to add the animation to the map:
int radius = 55;
CAShapeLayer *circle = [CAShapeLayer layer];
circle.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 2.0*radius, 2.0*radius)
cornerRadius:radius].CGPath;
circle.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.view.frame)-radius,
CGRectGetMidY(self.view.frame)-radius);
circle.fillColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
circle.strokeColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
circle.lineWidth = radius*2;
circle.opacity = 0.5;
[self.mapView.layer addSublayer:circle];
CABasicAnimation *drawAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"strokeEnd"];
drawAnimation.duration = 2.5; // "animate over 10 seconds or so.."
drawAnimation.repeatCount = 100.0; // Animate only once..
drawAnimation.removedOnCompletion = YES; // Remain stroked after the animation..
drawAnimation.fromValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.0f];
drawAnimation.toValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.0f];
functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseIn];
[circle addAnimation:drawAnimation forKey:#"drawCircleAnimation"];

After 3 days without an answer I decided to remove my annotation from the mkview and put the animation and the image corresponding to the annotation in another view, above the map.

Rotating a CAShapeLayer arc about its center using CABasicAnimation

I have an arc that I have drawn using CAShapeLayer and I want it to rotate around the circle's center. I am trying to get this animation using a CABasicAnimation on the 'transform.rotation' property. But the rotation seems is happening about a point that is not the same as the circle's center.
-(void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect{
int radius = 100;
CAShapeLayer *circle = [CAShapeLayer layer];
circle.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 2.0*radius, 2.0*radius) cornerRadius:radius].CGPath;
circle.fillColor = [UIColor orangeColor].CGColor;
circle.strokeColor = [UIColor blueColor].CGColor;
circle.lineWidth = 5;
circle.strokeStart = 0.0f;
circle.strokeEnd = 0.1f;
[self.layer addSublayer:circle];
CABasicAnimation *spinAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"transform.rotation"];
spinAnimation.byValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:2.0f*M_PI];
spinAnimation.duration = 4;
spinAnimation.repeatCount = INFINITY;
[circle addAnimation:spinAnimation forKey:#"indeterminateAnimation"];
}
I know its an old problem, but whats the way out. I have tinkered a lot by setting the layer's bounds or the anchor point but it doesn't rotate about the center yet.
circle.bounds = self.frame;
Here is how I add the view to the view controller.
[self.view addSubview:[[ProgressIndicator alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 50, 200, 200)]];
This is what I eventually did.
The mistake was to add the animation to the sublayer and not the layer.
There is no need to tinker with anchorPoint or position here when the rotation is just needed about the center of the circle.
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
int radius = 50;
CAShapeLayer *circle = [CAShapeLayer layer];
circle.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 2.0*radius, 2.0*radius) cornerRadius:radius].CGPath;
circle.fillColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
circle.strokeColor = [UIColor blueColor].CGColor;
circle.lineWidth = 5;
circle.strokeStart = 0.0f;
circle.strokeEnd = 0.1f;
[self.layer addSublayer:circle];
}
return self; }
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
CABasicAnimation *spinAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"transform.rotation"];
spinAnimation.byValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:2.0f*M_PI];
spinAnimation.duration = 4;
spinAnimation.repeatCount = INFINITY;
[self.layer addAnimation:spinAnimation forKey:#"indeterminateAnimation"]; }
Think is better to do something like this)
CGFloat center = CGRectGetWidth(frame) / 2;
CGFloat lineWidth = 5;
CGFloat radius = center - lineWidth / 2;
CGRect bounds = frame;
bounds.origin = CGPointZero;
CAShapeLayer *spinLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
spinLayer.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithArcCenter:CGPointMake(center, center) radius:radius startAngle:0 endAngle:0.2 clockwise:YES].CGPath;
spinLayer.fillColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
spinLayer.strokeColor = [UIColor blueColor].CGColor;
spinLayer.lineWidth = 5;
spinLayer.lineCap = kCALineCapRound;
spinLayer.bounds = bounds;
spinLayer.position = CGPointMake(center, center);
[self.layer insertSublayer:spinLayer above:nil];
And animation:
CABasicAnimation *animation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"transform.rotation"];
animation.byValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:2.f * M_PI];
animation.duration = 1.5f;
animation.repeatCount = INFINITY;
[spinLayer addAnimation:animation forKey:#"lineRotation"];
[self setNeedsLayout];
Swift 3
var bounds = frame
bounds.origin = CGPoint.zero
let center: CGFloat = frame.size.width
let lineWidth: CGFloat = 5
let radius = center - lineWidth / 2
let spinLayer = CAShapeLayer()
spinLayer.path = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: center, y: center),
radius: radius,
startAngle: 0,
endAngle: 0.2,
clockwise: true).cgPath
spinLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.blue.cgColor
spinLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
spinLayer.lineWidth = lineWidth
spinLayer.lineCap = kCALineCapRound
spinLayer.bounds = bounds
spinLayer.position = CGPoint(x: center, y: center)
view.layer.insertSublayer(spinLayer, above: nil)
let rotation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "transform.rotation")
rotation.byValue = NSNumber(value: 2*M_PI as Double)
rotation.duration = 1
rotation.repeatCount = Float.infinity
spinLayer.add(rotation, forKey: "lineRotation")

how to position a rotating CAShapeLayer at certain point in UIImageView?

I have the following code which makes an oval rotating around its center. I would like to be able to position it within UIImageView at a certain position (say a middle of the view).
I would really appreciate if someone could help me out on this one.
-(void)drawCircle
{
CGMutablePathRef circlePath = CGPathCreateMutable();
int radius = 400;
CGRect circleRect = CGRectMake(CENTER_Y-radius*0.7, CENTER_X-radius, 1.4*radius, 2*radius);
float midX = CGRectGetMidX(circleRect);
float midY = CGRectGetMidY(circleRect);
CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(-midX, -midY);
CGPathAddEllipseInRect( circlePath ,&transform , circleRect);
CAShapeLayer *circle = [[CAShapeLayer alloc] init];
circle.path = circlePath;
circle.opacity = 0.1;
circle.contentsScale = SCREEN_SCALE;
circle.fillColor = [UIColor blueColor].CGColor;
[aView.layer addSublayer:circle];
CABasicAnimation* theAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"transform.rotation.z"];
theAnimation.fromValue = 0;
theAnimation.toValue = #(2*M_PI);
theAnimation.duration=3.5;
theAnimation.autoreverses=FALSE;
theAnimation.repeatCount=HUGE_VALF;
theAnimation.fillMode = kCAFillModeBoth;
theAnimation.removedOnCompletion=FALSE;
theAnimation.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
[circle addAnimation:theAnimation forKey:#"transform.rotation.z"];
}
a missing piece:
[circle setPosition:CGPointMake(CENTER_X, CENTER_Y)];

CABasicAnimation - Setting start stroke position

I'm animating the drawing of a basic circle. This works fine, except the animation begins drawing at the 3 o'clock position. Does anyone know how I can make it start at 12 o'clock?
self.circle = [CAShapeLayer layer];
self.circle.fillColor = nil;
self.circle.lineWidth = 7;
self.circle.strokeColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
self.circle.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 200);
self.circle.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect:self.circle.bounds].CGPath;
[self.view.layer addSublayer:self.circle];
CABasicAnimation *drawAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"strokeEnd"];
drawAnimation.duration = 5.0;
drawAnimation.repeatCount = 1.0;
drawAnimation.removedOnCompletion = NO;
drawAnimation.fromValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.0f];
drawAnimation.toValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.0f];
drawAnimation.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseIn];
[self.circle addAnimation:drawAnimation forKey:#"drawCircleAnimation"];
You can use bezierPathWithArcCenter instead of bezierPathWithOvalInRect, because that allows to specify a start and end angle:
CGFloat radius = self.circle.bounds.size.width/2; // Assuming that width == height
self.circle.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithArcCenter:CGPointMake(radius, radius)
radius:radius
startAngle:(-M_PI/2)
endAngle:(3*M_PI/2)
clockwise:YES].CGPath;
See the bezierPathWithArcCenter documentation for the meaning of the angles.

Animating CAShapeLayer's strokeColor with CABasicAnimation

I've been unsuccessful at animating a flashing stroke on a CAShapeLayer using the answer from this previous thread, and after many searches I can find no other examples of animating the stroke using CABasicAnimation.
What I want to do is have the stroke of my CAShapeLayer pulse between two colors. Using CABasicAnimation for opacity works fine, but the [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"strokeColor"] eludes me, and I'd appreciate any advice on how to successfully implement.
CABasicAnimation *strokeAnim = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"strokeColor"];
strokeAnim.fromValue = (id) [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
strokeAnim.toValue = (id) [UIColor purpleColor].CGColor;
strokeAnim.duration = 1.0;
strokeAnim.repeatCount = 0.0;
strokeAnim.autoreverses = NO;
[shapeLayer addAnimation:strokeAnim forKey:#"animateStrokeColor"];
// CABasicAnimation *opacityAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"opacity"];
// opacityAnimation.fromValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.0];
// opacityAnimation.toValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.0];
// opacityAnimation.duration = 1.0;
// opacityAnimation.repeatCount = 0.0;
// opacityAnimation.autoreverses = NO;
// [shapeLayer addAnimation:opacityAnimation forKey:#"animateOpacity"];
Uncommenting the opacity animation results in an expected opacity fade. The stroke animation produces no effect. An implicit strokeColor change animates as expected, but I would like documented confirmation that strokeColor can be explicitly animated using CABasicAnimation.
Update: The specific problem was that shapeLayer.path was NULL. Correcting that fixed the problem.
The code below works great for me. What is the lineWidth of your shapeLayer stroke path? Could that be the issue?
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIBezierPath * circle = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect:self.view.bounds];
CAShapeLayer * shapeLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
shapeLayer.path = circle.CGPath;
shapeLayer.strokeColor =[UIColor blueColor].CGColor;
[shapeLayer setLineWidth:15.0];
[self.view.layer addSublayer:shapeLayer];
CABasicAnimation *strokeAnim = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"strokeColor"];
strokeAnim.fromValue = (id) [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
strokeAnim.toValue = (id) [UIColor greenColor].CGColor;
strokeAnim.duration = 3.0;
strokeAnim.repeatCount = 0;
strokeAnim.autoreverses = YES;
[shapeLayer addAnimation:strokeAnim forKey:#"animateStrokeColor"];
}
Let me know if it works for you...

Animation of stroke of circle segment ends in complete stroke

I'm trying to animate the appearance of a segment of a circle. To archive this I use a CABasicAnimations which works quiet fine.
The animation starts on top and moves quiet nicely to one third of the whole circle. But when the animation finishes, the circle is being drawn completely immediately.
How can I prevent that?
Here is the source code of my custom UIView:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
int radius = 100;
int strokeWidth = 10;
CGColorRef color = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
int timeInSeconds = 5;
CGFloat startAngle = 0;
CGFloat endAngle = 0.33;
CAShapeLayer *circle = [CAShapeLayer layer];
circle.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 2.0*radius, 2.0*radius) cornerRadius:radius].CGPath;
circle.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.frame)-radius, CGRectGetMidY(self.frame)-radius);
circle.fillColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
circle.strokeColor = color;
circle.lineWidth = strokeWidth;
[self.layer addSublayer:circle];
CABasicAnimation *drawAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"strokeEnd"];
drawAnimation.duration = timeInSeconds;
drawAnimation.repeatCount = 1.0;
drawAnimation.removedOnCompletion = NO;
drawAnimation.fromValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:startAngle];
drawAnimation.toValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:endAngle];
drawAnimation.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
[circle addAnimation:drawAnimation forKey:#"drawCircleAnimation"];
}
When you apply an animation to a layer, Core Animation creates a copy of the layer and animates the properties of the copy. The original layer is called the model layer and the copy is called the presentation layer. An animation never changes the properties of the model layer.
You tried to fix this by setting removedOnCompletion to NO. You would also have to set the fillMode of the animation to make this work, but it's not really the correct way to animate a property.
The correct way is to change the property on your model layer, then apply the animation.
// Change the model layer's property first.
circle.strokeEnd = endAngle;
// Then apply the animation.
CABasicAnimation *drawAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"strokeEnd"];
drawAnimation.duration = timeInSeconds;
drawAnimation.fromValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:startAngle];
drawAnimation.toValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:endAngle];
drawAnimation.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
[circle addAnimation:drawAnimation forKey:#"drawCircleAnimation"];
This is explained in the Core Animation Essentials video from WWDC 2011. I highly recommend watching it.
