Simulate UIScrollView Deceleration

Question

I have an UIPanGestureRecognize which I use to change the frame of a view. Is there a way to simulate the deceleration of the UIScrollView or

Answer 1

Session 223 at WWDC 2012, "Enhancing User Experience With Scroll Views", covered a method to use a scrollview's behavior and "feel" to animate the position of a different view (without the scrollview ever actually being visible to the user).

The benefit of the method shown in the session is that your deceleration would always match UIScrollView's, now and forever.

Answer 2

You would have to come up with an algorithm of some sort to calculate where you want the view to stop at depending on the velocity of the gesture, which can be obtained like this:

CGPoint velocity = [panGesture velocityInView:panGesture.view];

From there it should just be a matter of animating your view into its calculated resting place and adding an animation to get it there. I believe UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut would be appropriate here.
