Does iPhone OS support implicit animation?

Question

Example from Mac OS X:

[[aView animator] setFrame:NSMakeRect(100.0,100.0,300.0,300.0)]; 

I have tried something similar in UIKit, but it se

Answer 1

The iPhone supports implicit animation, though it does not use an animator object, it is built directly into UIView. Try this instead:

[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[aView setFrame:NSMakeRect(100.0,100.0,300.0,300.0)];
[UIView commitAnimations];

The exact details are documented here.

Every view is always layer backed as well, so you don;t have to turn on layers in order to get a layer for explicit animation.
