Have a reloadData for a UITableView animate when changing

Question

I have a UITableView that has two modes. When we switch between the modes I have a different number of sections and cells per section. Ideally, it would do some cool anima

Answer 1

CATransition *animation = [CATransition animation];
animation.duration = .3;
[animation setType:kCATransitionPush];
[animation setSubtype:kCATransitionFromLeft];
[animation setTimingFunction:[CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut]];
[animation setDuration:.3];

[[_elementTableView layer] addAnimation:animation forKey:@"UITableViewReloadDataAnimationKey"];

[tableView reloadData];
