Can I stop UIImageView Animation at last frame?

Question

Hello,

I have an animation using a UIImageView

myAnimatedView.animationImages = myImages;
myAnimatedView.animationDuration = 1;
myAnimatedView.animationRepeatCount = 1;
[myAnimatedView startAnimating];

How can I tell to animation to stop at the last frame or to be visible last frame of the series of images?

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

After the animation finishes you can set your UIImageView image to the last frame of your animation.

myAnimatedView.image = [myAnimatedImages objectAtIndex:myAnimatedImages.count - 1]

I don't think there is a delegate method that would notify you on animationFinish event so you would need to start a NSTimer with same duration as the animation to get the notification.

UIImageViewAnimation documentation

Answer 2

the image property on the UIImageView class has the following docs: "If the animationImages property contains a value other than nil, the contents of this property are not used."

So the trick to hold on the last frame of an animation in iOS4 is to first set the image property to that last frame (while animationImages is still nil), then set the animationImages property and call startAnimating. When the animation completes, the image property is then displayed. No callback/delegate needed.
