How to animate borderColor change in swift

Question

For some reason this isn\'t working for me:

let color = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: \"borderColor\")
color.fromValue = sender.layer.borderColor;
color.toValue          


        

Answer 1

I don't know why, but for some reason calling:

color.fromValue = sender.layer.borderColor

doesn't work. The color isn't being read correctly or something. I changed it to:

let color = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "borderColor");
color.fromValue = UIColor.greenColor().CGColor;
color.toValue = UIColor.redColor().CGColor;
color.duration = 2;
color.repeatCount = 1;
sender.layer.addAnimation(color, forKey: "color and width");

And then things started working as expected.
