iPhone - Using UIView Animations on touched location

Question

I am stumped here as of right now, I wish to enact a UIView Animation on a finger press, by creating a UIView around where the finger is placed. Is this possible?

- (void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    UITouch * touch = [touches anyObject];
    CGPoint pos = [touch locationInView: [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow];
    NSLog(@"Position of touch: %.3f, %.3f", pos.x, pos.y);
    //CGRect touchFrame = CGRectMake(pos.x, pos.y, 100, 100);
    UIView *box = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(pos.x, pos.y, 100, 100)];
    NSLog(@"%f", box.frame.origin.x);
    [self.view addSubview:box];
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
    [UIView setAnimationTransition:110 forView:box cache:NO];
    [UIView commitAnimations];
    [box removeFromSuperview];
    [box release];
}

Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Answer 1

Its due to u written following line

[box removeFromSuperview];
    [box release];

This line u have to call after completion of box image animation.

- (void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event 
{

    UITouch * touch = [touches anyObject];

    CGPoint pos = [touch locationInView: [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow];

    UIView *box = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(pos.x, pos.y, 100, 100)];

    [self.view addSubview:box];

    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];

    [UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];

    [UIView setAnimationTransition:110 forView:box cache:NO];

    [UIView commitAnimations];

[self performSelector:@selector(releaseBoxImge:) withObject:box afterDelay:1.0];

}


-(void)releaseBoxImge:(UIView *)boxImage
{

[boxImage removeFromSuperview];

    [boxImage release];

}
