How to get animated polyline route in GMSMapView, so that it move along with map when map is moved?

Question

I have created animated polyline like CAShapeLayer by following code, I have added CAShapeLayer as sublayer to GMSMapiew but, if I move the map the layer won\'t moves. wher

Answer 1

This is an adaptation of the code from Elangovan

The changes that I did was to remove the var from the class to be just in the function and also removed the #selector that is no longer need in iOS >= 10.

var timerAnimation: Timer!
var mapView:GMSMapView?



    func drawRoute(encodedString: String, animated: Bool) {

        if let path = GMSMutablePath(fromEncodedPath: encodedString) {

            let polyline = GMSPolyline(path: path)
            polyline.strokeWidth = 3.0
            polyline.strokeColor = UIColor(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 0.5)
            polyline.map = Singleton.shared.getMapView()

            if(animated){
                self.animatePolylinePath(path: path)
            }
        }
    }

    func animatePolylinePath(path: GMSMutablePath) {

        var pos: UInt = 0
        var animationPath = GMSMutablePath()
        let animationPolyline = GMSPolyline()
        self.timerAnimation = Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 0.003, repeats: true) { timer in

            pos += 1
            if(pos >= path.count()){
                pos = 0
                animationPath = GMSMutablePath()
                animationPolyline.map = nil
            }
            animationPath.add(path.coordinate(at: pos))
            animationPolyline.path = animationPath
            animationPolyline.strokeColor = UIColor.yellow
            animationPolyline.strokeWidth = 3
            animationPolyline.map = self.mapView
        }
    }


    func stopAnimatePolylinePath() {

        self.timerAnimation.invalidate()
    }
