How to unhide view with animations

Question

Say I have a hidden view in Xcode for iOS. Now, when I set the view to not hidden (view.hidden=NO), how can I make it so that it now appears, but with animations?

Answer 1

-(void)showView{

  [UIView beginAnimations: @"Fade Out" context:nil];
  [UIView setAnimationDelay:0];
  [UIView setAnimationDuration:.5];
  //show your view with Fade animation lets say myView
  [myView setHidden:FALSE];
  [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0 target:self selector:@selector(hideView) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

  [UIView commitAnimations];
}


-(void)hideView{
  [UIView beginAnimations: @"Fade In" context:nil];
  [UIView setAnimationDelay:0];
  [UIView setAnimationDuration:.5];
  //hide your view with Fad animation
  [myView setHidden:TRUE];
  [UIView commitAnimations];
}

OR you can try this way

self.yourView.alpha = 0.0;
[UIView beginAnimations:@"Fade-in" context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
self.yourView.alpha = 1.0;
[UIView commitAnimations];
