Explicitly disabling UIView animation in iOS4+

Question

I have been reading that Apple recommends to use block-based animations instead of CATransaction

Before, I was using this code to disable animations:

Answer 1

// Disable animations
UIView.setAnimationsEnabled(false)

// ...
// VIEW CODE YOU DON'T WANT TO ANIMATE HERE
// ...

// Force view(s) to layout
yourView(s).layoutIfNeeded()

// Enable animations
UIView.setAnimationsEnabled(true)
