fade between two UIButton images

Question

i want to fade between two UIButton images for the purpose of setting favorites in a UITableView.

Currently the transition is done without effect - it just changes t

Answer 1

You could try to transition the alpha values like this to get the effect that you want:

trans_img = [UIImage imageNamed:@"fav_on.png"];

NSArray *subviews = [owningCell subviews];
UIButton *favbutton = [subviews objectAtIndex:2];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
    favbutton.alpha = 0.0f;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    favbutton.imageView.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:trans_img,nil];
    [favbutton.imageView startAnimating];
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
        favbutton.alpha = 1.0f;
    }];
}];
