Animate Custom UIView Property in Swift

Question

all!

I have created a circular progress view using CoreGraphics that looks and updates like so:

50% 75%

The class is a UIView class, and it has a variable called 'progress' that determines how much of the circle is filled in.

It works well, but I want to be able to animate changes to the progress variable so that the bar animates smoothly.

I have read from myriad examples that I need to have a CALayer class along with the View class, which I have made, however, it doesn't animate at all.

Two questions:

1. Can I keep the graphic I drew in CoreGraphics , or do I need to somehow redraw it in CALayer ?

2. My current (attempted) solution crashes towards the bottom at: anim.fromValue = pres.progress . What's up?

    class CircleProgressView: UIView { @IBInspectable var backFillColor: UIColor = UIColor.blueColor() @IBInspectable var fillColor: UIColor = UIColor.greenColor() @IBInspectable var strokeColor: UIColor = UIColor.greenColor() dynamic var progress: CGFloat = 0.00 { didSet { self.layer.setValue(progress, forKey: "progress") } } var distToDestination: CGFloat = 10.0 @IBInspectable var arcWidth: CGFloat = 20 @IBInspectable var outlineWidth: CGFloat = 5 override class func layerClass() -> AnyClass { return CircleProgressLayer.self } override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) { var fillColor = self.fillColor if distToDestination < 3.0 { fillColor = UIColor.greenColor() } else { fillColor = self.fillColor } //Drawing the inside of the container //Drawing in the container let center = CGPoint(x:bounds.width/2, y: bounds.height/2) let radius: CGFloat = max(bounds.width, bounds.height) - 10 let startAngle: CGFloat = 3 * π / 2 let endAngle: CGFloat = 3 * π / 2 + 2 * π let path = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center, radius: radius/2 - arcWidth/2, startAngle: startAngle, endAngle: endAngle, clockwise: true) path.lineWidth = arcWidth backFillColor.setStroke() path.stroke() let fill = UIColor.blueColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.15) fill.setFill() path.fill() //Drawing the fill path. Same process let fillAngleLength = (π) * progress let fillStartAngle = 3 * π / 2 - fillAngleLength let fillEndAngle = 3 * π / 2 + fillAngleLength let fillPath_fill = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center, radius: radius/2 - arcWidth/2, startAngle: fillStartAngle, endAngle: fillEndAngle, clockwise: true) fillPath_fill.lineWidth = arcWidth fillColor.setStroke() fillPath_fill.stroke() //Drawing container outline on top let outlinePath_outer = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center, radius: radius / 2 - outlineWidth / 2, startAngle: startAngle, endAngle: endAngle, clockwise: true) let outlinePath_inner = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center, radius: radius / 2 - arcWidth + outlineWidth / 2, startAngle: startAngle, endAngle: endAngle, clockwise: true) outlinePath_outer.lineWidth = outlineWidth outlinePath_inner.lineWidth = outlineWidth strokeColor.setStroke() outlinePath_outer.stroke() outlinePath_inner.stroke() } } class CircleProgressLayer: CALayer { @NSManaged var progress: CGFloat override class func needsDisplayForKey(key: String) -> Bool { if key == "progress" { return true } return super.needsDisplayForKey(key) } override func actionForKey(key: String) -> CAAction? { if (key == "progress") { if let pres = self.presentationLayer() { let anim: CABasicAnimation = CABasicAnimation.init(keyPath: key) anim.fromValue = pres.progress anim.duration = 0.2 return anim } return super.actionForKey(key) } else { return super.actionForKey(key) } } } 

Thanks for the help!

Try this out :)

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    let progressView = CircleProgressView(frame:CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: 200.0, height: 200))

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        let button = UIButton()
        button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 300, 200, 100)
        button.backgroundColor = UIColor.yellowColor()
        button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.tap), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
        view.addSubview(button)
        view.addSubview(progressView)

        progressView.progress = 1.0
   }

    func tap() {
        if  progressView.progress == 0.5 {
            progressView.progress = 1.0
        } else {
            progressView.progress = 0.5
        }
    }
}

class CircleProgressView: UIView {

    dynamic var progress: CGFloat = 0.00 {
        didSet {
            let animation = CABasicAnimation()
            animation.keyPath = "progress"
            animation.fromValue = circleLayer().progress
            animation.toValue = progress
            animation.duration = Double(0.5)
            self.layer.addAnimation(animation, forKey: "progress")
            circleLayer().progress = progress
        }
    }

    func circleLayer() ->  CircleProgressLayer {
        return self.layer as! CircleProgressLayer
    }

    override class func layerClass() -> AnyClass {
        return CircleProgressLayer.self
    }
}

class CircleProgressLayer: CALayer {
    @NSManaged var progress: CGFloat

    override class func needsDisplayForKey(key: String) -> Bool {
        if key == "progress" {
            return true
        }
        return super.needsDisplayForKey(key)
    }

    var backFillColor: UIColor = UIColor.blueColor()
    var fillColor: UIColor = UIColor.greenColor()
    var strokeColor: UIColor = UIColor.greenColor()
    var distToDestination: CGFloat = 10.0
    var arcWidth: CGFloat = 20
    var outlineWidth: CGFloat = 5

    override func drawInContext(ctx: CGContext) {
        super.drawInContext(ctx)

        UIGraphicsPushContext(ctx)

        //Drawing in the container
        let center = CGPoint(x:bounds.width/2, y: bounds.height/2)
        let radius: CGFloat = max(bounds.width, bounds.height) - 10
        let startAngle: CGFloat = 3 * CGFloat(M_PI) / 2
        let endAngle: CGFloat = 3 * CGFloat(M_PI) / 2 + 2 * CGFloat(M_PI)
        let path = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center, radius: radius/2 - arcWidth/2, startAngle: startAngle, endAngle: endAngle, clockwise: true)
        path.lineWidth = arcWidth
        backFillColor.setStroke()
        path.stroke()
        let fill = UIColor.blueColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.15)
        fill.setFill()
        path.fill()

        //Drawing the fill path. Same process
        let fillAngleLength =  (CGFloat(M_PI)) * progress
        let fillStartAngle = 3 * CGFloat(M_PI) / 2 - fillAngleLength
        let fillEndAngle = 3 * CGFloat(M_PI) / 2 + fillAngleLength

        let fillPath_fill = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center, radius: radius/2 - arcWidth/2, startAngle: fillStartAngle, endAngle: fillEndAngle, clockwise: true)
        fillPath_fill.lineWidth = arcWidth
        fillColor.setStroke()
        fillPath_fill.stroke()

        //Drawing container outline on top
        let outlinePath_outer = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center, radius: radius / 2 - outlineWidth / 2, startAngle: startAngle, endAngle: endAngle, clockwise: true)
        let outlinePath_inner = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center, radius: radius / 2 - arcWidth + outlineWidth / 2, startAngle: startAngle, endAngle: endAngle, clockwise: true)
        outlinePath_outer.lineWidth = outlineWidth
        outlinePath_inner.lineWidth = outlineWidth
        strokeColor.setStroke()
        outlinePath_outer.stroke()
        outlinePath_inner.stroke()

        UIGraphicsPopContext()
    }
}

Answer 2

Whilst AntonTheDev provides a great answer, his solution does not allow you to animate the CircularProgressView in an animation block, so you cant do neat things like:

UIView.animate(withDuration: 2, delay: 0, options: .curveEaseInOut, 
animations: {
    circularProgress.progress = 0.76
}, completion: nil)

There's a similar question here with a up to date Swift 3 answer based on ideas from the accepted answer and this post. This is what the final solution looks like.
