UIView shake animation

Question

i\'m trying to make a UIView shake when a button is pressed.

I am adapting the code I found on http://www.cimgf.com/2008/02/27/core-animation-tutorial-window-shake-e

You can try this piece of code:

to call the code below, use: [self earthquake:myObject];

#pragma mark EarthQuake Methods

- (void)earthquake:(UIView*)itemView
{
    AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate); 

    CGFloat t = 2.0;

    CGAffineTransform leftQuake  = CGAffineTransformTranslate(CGAffineTransformIdentity, t, -t);
    CGAffineTransform rightQuake = CGAffineTransformTranslate(CGAffineTransformIdentity, -t, t);

    itemView.transform = leftQuake;  // starting point

    [UIView beginAnimations:@"earthquake" context:itemView];
    [UIView setAnimationRepeatAutoreverses:YES]; // important
    [UIView setAnimationRepeatCount:3];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.05];
    [UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
    [UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:@selector(earthquakeEnded:finished:context:)];

    itemView.transform = rightQuake; // end here & auto-reverse

    [UIView commitAnimations];
}

- (void)earthquakeEnded:(NSString *)animationID finished:(NSNumber *)finished context:(void *)context 
{
    if ([finished boolValue]) 
    {
        UIView* item = (UIView *)context;
        item.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
   }
}
