UIView Animations

UIView animation provides one of the odd but lovely perks of working with iOS as a development platform. It enables you to create a moving expression of visual changes when updating views, producing smooth animated results that enhance the user experience. Best of all, this all occurs without you having to do much work.

UIView animations are perfect for building a visual bridge between a view’s current and changed states. With them, you emphasize visual change and create an animation that links those changes together. Animatable changes include the following:

• Changes in location—Moving a view around the screen

• Changes in size—Updating the view’s frame and bounds

• Changes in stretching—Updating the view’s content stretch regions
