animate rotation UIImageView in swift

Question

I\'m trying to animate a rotation of 180 degrees of a UIImageView in Swift

    UIView.animateWithDuration(1.0, animations: { () -> Void in
              


        

Answer 1

Swift 5.0

extension UIImageView{
    func rotate() {
        let rotation : CABasicAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "transform.rotation.z")
        rotation.toValue = NSNumber(value: Double.pi * 2)
        rotation.duration = 2
        rotation.isCumulative = true
        rotation.repeatCount = Float.greatestFiniteMagnitude
        self.layer.add(rotation, forKey: "rotationAnimation")
    }
}

Be sure to be in the Main thread

DispatchQueue.main.async {
   UIView.animateWithDuration(1.0, animations: { () -> Void in
     self.arrowImageView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(CGFloat(180 * M_PI))
   }) { (succeed) -> Void in

   }
}

Answer 3

You left out the / 180 on CGFloat(180 * M_PI). Try:

UIView.animate(withDuration: 1.0) {[weak self] in
    self?.arrowImageView.transform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: CGFloat(Double.pi))
}

======= Extension for UIView =======

I found this answer from the Internet, and I test it, working perfectly fine. Hope this will help to any one, just change the UIView to your need such as, UIView, UIButton, UIImageView, etc. and access with the myUIView.rotate() function, here myUIView should be replace with your View name (IBOutlet -> name) with correct view type for extension. This is the link that I found this answer. And this method is easy and working!

=== SWIFT 3 / 4 ===

extension UIView{
    func rotate() {
        let rotation : CABasicAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "transform.rotation.z")
        rotation.toValue = NSNumber(double: M_PI * 2)
        rotation.duration = 1
        rotation.cumulative = true
        rotation.repeatCount = FLT_MAX
        self.layer.addAnimation(rotation, forKey: "rotationAnimation")
    }
}

suggested improvements. Thanks for all suggestions.

=== SWIFT 5 ===

extension UIView{
    func rotate() {
        let rotation : CABasicAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "transform.rotation.z")
        rotation.toValue = NSNumber(value: Double.pi * 2)
        rotation.duration = 1
        rotation.isCumulative = true
        rotation.repeatCount = Float.greatestFiniteMagnitude
        self.layer.add(rotation, forKey: "rotationAnimation")
    }
}

And then call that extension like follow:

self.your_UIViewOutletName_myUIView_here.rotate()
