A Splash view that animates and reveals its content, inspired by the Twitter
splash.
Get RevealingSplashView
on CocoaPods, just add pod 'RevealingSplashView'
to your Podfile
and then run pod install
. You can also add the github to your Carthage
file.
If you use Carthage
you can just install it by adding github "PiXeL16/RevealingSplashView"
to your Carthage
file.
If you are using Swift 2.3, please use the 0.0.6
release.
Rebeloper
created a nice Video Tutorial where you can also learn how to use this control!. You can also follow the docs below
Usage is pretty easy, just initialize your RevealingSplashView
in your entry ViewController
and in your viewDidLoad()
function add it to your view. Then call startAnimation()
:
import RevealingSplashView
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//Initialize a revealing Splash with with the iconImage, the initial size and the background color
let revealingSplashView = RevealingSplashView(iconImage: UIImage(named: “twitterLogo”)!,iconInitialSize: CGSize(width: 70, height: 70), backgroundColor: UIColor(red:0.11, green:0.56, blue:0.95, alpha:1.0))
//Adds the revealing splash view as a sub view
self.view.addSubview(revealingSplashView)
//Starts animation
revealingSplashView.startAnimation(){
print(“Completed”)
}
}
Ideally your iconInitialSize
should match the size of the icon in your LaunchScreen.storyboard
.
So it you set your constrains in your LaunchScreen.storyboard
to be 80 height
and 80 width
you should set the same size as the initial size of the RevealingSplashView
You are also able to change the color of your iconImage
.
import RevealingSplashView
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//Initialize a revealing Splash with with the iconImage, the initial size and the background color
let revealingSplashView = RevealingSplashView(iconImage: UIImage(named: “twitterLogo”)!,iconInitialSize: CGSize(width: 70, height: 70), backgroundColor: UIColor(red:0.11, green:0.56, blue:0.95, alpha:1.0))
revealingSplashView.useCustomIconColor = true
revealingSplashView.iconColor = UIColor.red
//Adds the revealing splash view as a sub view
self.view.addSubview(revealingSplashView)
//Starts animation
revealingSplashView.startAnimation(){
print(“Completed”)
}
}
This will change the actual icon color to red before the animation.
You are also able to change the background image of your backgroundImage
.
import RevealingSplashView
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//Initialize a revealing Splash with with the iconImage, the initial size and the background color
let revealingSplashView = RevealingSplashView(iconImage: UIImage(named: “twitterLogo”)!, iconInitialSize: CGSize(width: 70, height: 70), backgroundImage: UIImage(named: “BackgroundImage”)!)
revealingSplashView.useCustomIconColor = false
revealingSplashView.iconColor = UIColor.red
//Adds the revealing splash view as a sub view
self.view.addSubview(revealingSplashView)
//Starts animation
revealingSplashView.startAnimation(){
print(“Completed”)
}
}
If you are using a NavigationBar
or TabBar
as your entry view controller, chances are that the animation will look offset by some pixels. There are a couple of options here: Instead of adding the RevealingSplashView
to your ViewController, you can add it to your window
.
let window = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow
window?.addSubview(revealingSplashView)
You can also create another
entry view controller. Then add the RevealingSplashView
to that ViewController instead of the one with the NavigationBar
or TabBar
. Then after the animation of the RevealingSplashView
ends you can transition to your NavigationViewController.
There are several animations to choose from just set the animationType
property of the RevealingSplashView
Its the default animation that Twitter
use for their app. If animationType
is not set it will default to this one.
HeartBeat like animation, unlike the other animations, this special
animation allows you to continue to animate until a function its called. This could be more entertaining to the user than having a quick launch and waiting on a spinning wheel if the app needs to fetch more data.
To use the Heartbeat animation you should startAnimation()
as normal and then proceed with your network or background job. When you are done, just call
.heartAttack = true
And the splashview should dismiss.
Similar to the Twitter
one but rotating while zooming out.
revealingSplashView.animationType = SplashAnimationType.rotateOut
Pop the view a couple of times and zoom out.
revealingSplashView.animationType = SplashAnimationType.popAndZoomOut
Squeeze the view and zoom out.
revealingSplashView.animationType = SplashAnimationType.squeezeAndZoomOut
Swings the view and zoom out.
revealingSplashView.animationType = SplashAnimationType.swingAndZoomOut
Wobbles the view and zoom out.
revealingSplashView.animationType = SplashAnimationType.wobbleAndZoomOut
