How to stop unwanted UIButton animation on title change?

Question

In iOS 7 my UIButton titles are animating in and out at the wrong time - late. This problem does not appear on iOS 6. I\'m just using:

[self setTitle:text fo         


        

Answer 1

Use the performWithoutAnimation: method and then force layout to happen immediately instead of later on.

[UIView performWithoutAnimation:^{
  [self.myButton setTitle:text forState:UIControlStateNormal];
  [self.myButton layoutIfNeeded];
}];

Answer 2

I got it to work with a combination of answers:

[[[button titleLabel] layer] removeAllAnimations];

    [UIView performWithoutAnimation:^{

        [button setTitle:@"Title" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    }];

Answer 3

Please note :

when "buttonType" of _button is "UIButtonTypeSystem", below code is invalid：

[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO];
[_button setTitle:@"title" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:YES];

when "buttonType" of _button is "UIButtonTypeCustom", above code is valid.

Answer 4

The Xhacker Liu extension converted to Swift 3 :

extension UIButton {
    func setTitleWithoutAnimation(title: String?) {
        UIView.setAnimationsEnabled(false)

        setTitle(title, for: .normal)

        layoutIfNeeded()
        UIView.setAnimationsEnabled(true)
    }
}

Answer 5

This works for custom buttons:

[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO];
[_button setTitle:@"title" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:YES];

For system buttons you need to add this before re-enabling animations (thank you @Klaas):

[_button layoutIfNeeded];

Answer 6

Starting in iOS 7.1 the only solution that worked for me was initializing the button with type UIButtonTypeCustom.
