Change animation time for properties of a CALayer

Question

I have a CALayer to animate a change in its image contents. Now, how can I change how long it takes for this animation to take place?

Answer 1

It's more or less simple. You have an ivar CALayer *yourLayer. Then you set the delegate and implement the delegate method -(id)actionForLayer:forKey:

- (void)awakeFromNib {
    yourLayer.delegate = self;
    yourLayer.name = @"yourLayer";
}  
- (id )actionForLayer:(CALayer *)layer forKey:(NSString *)event {
    if([layer.name isEqualToString yourLayer.name]) { // Check for right layer

        CABasicAnimation *ani = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:event]; // Default Animation for 'event'
        ani.duration = .5; // Your custom animation duration
        return ani;

    } else return nil; // Default Animation
}
