How to animate the width and height of a UIView in Xcode?

Question

I have this subview I want to add to my main view, but make it expand from the origin. I read some of the Apple documentation but I don\'t understand where I am making mistake.

Answer 1

Try using a block it will be more clear.

 // First create the view if you haven't already 
UIView *myView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f)]; 
// Add it as a subview. 
[myViewController.view addSubview:myView]; 


CGRect newFrameOfMyView = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 200.0f, 200.0f); 
/*
 * Alternatively you could just set the width/height or whatever you'd like with this: 
 * CGRect newFrameOfMyView = myView.frame; 
 * newFrameOfMyView.size.height = 200.0f; 
 * newFrameOfMyView.size.width = 200.0f; 
 */
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3f
     animations:^{
      myView.frame = newFrameOfMyView; 
     }
     completion:^(BOOL finished){ 
     NSLog( @"woo! Finished animating the frame of myView!" ); 
}];
