I'm new to Swift and I don't have too much information about it.I would like to create animated clock with filling 'CAShapeLayer' path in time interval than tried to make it with 'CABasicAnimation' in 60 seconds. The shape fills in 49 sec and animation finish fit in 60 seconds, so it's not working as desired. Than I changed animation.byValue = 0.1
but the result is same. Some one have an idea about this issue?
My code is :
var startAngle = -CGFloat.pi / 2
var endAngle = CGFloat.pi * 2
var shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let center = view.center
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center, radius: 100, startAngle: startAngle, endAngle: endAngle, clockwise: true)
shapeLayer.path = circlePath.cgPath
shapeLayer.lineWidth = 20
shapeLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.lightGray.cgColor
shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
shapeLayer.lineCap = kCALineCapRound
shapeLayer.strokeEnd = 0
animate(layer: shapeLayer) //Animation func
view.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
}
private func animate(layer: CAShapeLayer) {
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "strokeEnd")
animation.fromValue = 0.0
animation.toValue = 1.0
animation.duration = 60.0 //I think is counting by seconds?
animation.repeatCount = .infinity
animation.fillMode = kCAFillModeForwards
layer.add(animation, forKey: "strokeEndAnimation")
}
The problem is with the way you made the BezierPath.
Try this instead:
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: .zero, radius: 100, startAngle: 0, endAngle: 2 * CGFloat.pi, clockwise: true)
shapeLayer.path = circlePath.cgPath
shapeLayer.lineWidth = 20
shapeLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.lightGray.cgColor
shapeLayer.strokeStart = 0
shapeLayer.strokeEnd = 0
shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
shapeLayer.lineCap = kCALineCapRound
shapeLayer.strokeEnd = 0
shapeLayer.position = self.view.center
shapeLayer.transform = CATransform3DRotate(CATransform3DIdentity, -CGFloat.pi / 2, 0, 0, 1)
The arcCenter must be at .zero and set the shape's center as the center of the view. Your circle will start animating from the right most point though, therefore add a CATransform to rotate the shape 90 degrees counterclockwise.
