iPhone Image Zoom Animation

Question

I am writing my first iPhone app. I'm looking for direction on how to best accomplish an image zoom animation. I have a thumbnail sized image on the screen, and want to show a larger sized image overlaid on the view when the user taps on the thumbnail.

I've seen some suggestions for using the core animation framework. I saw another suggestion to use ImageKit. Is ImageKit available on iPhone, or just OSX?

Again, I'm just getting started, and looking for some guidance.

Answer 1

ImageKit is not available on iPhoneOS, so you have to use CoreAnimation from these choices.

Or you could try to use UIView animation blocks, which is much simpler (but limited compared with CA).
