FlippingNotch is "pull to refresh/add/show" custom animation written Swift, using the iPhone X Notch. Heavily inspired by this Dribble project: https://dribbble.com/shots/4089014-Pull-To-Refresh-iPhone-X
It is not a framework, it is just an Xcode project, embracing the notch.
FlippingNotch is written in Swift 4.0 and requires an iPhone X Simulator/Device.
- Put a UICollectionView and constraint it in a ViewController.
The image below shows an example how to constraint it.
- Add a cell in the UICollectionView.
- Set up the UICollectionView in the ViewController by conforming to UICollectionViewDataSource.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
// MARK: IBOutlets
@IBOutlet var collectionView: UICollectionView!
// MARK: Fileprivates
fileprivate var numberOfItemsInSection = 1
// MARK: Overrides
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
collectionView.dataSource = self
}
}
// MARK: UICollectionViewDataSource
extension ViewController: UICollectionViewDataSource {
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return numberOfItemsInSection
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath)
cell.layer.cornerRadius = 10
cell.layer.masksToBounds = true
return cell
}
}- The Notch View
- Instantiate a view that represents the notch. The
notchViewBottomConstraintis used to position the notchView into the view.
fileprivate var notchView = UIView()
fileprivate var notchViewBottomConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint!
fileprivate var numberOfItemsInSection = 1- After instantiating the notchView, add it as a subview its parent view.
The notchView have a black background and rounded corners.
translatesAutoResizingMaskIntoConstraintsneeds to be set tofalsebecause we want to use auto layout for this view rather than frame-based layout. Then, the notchView is constrained to the center of its parent view, with the same width as the notch, a height of(notch height - maximum scrolling offset what we want to give)and a bottom constrained to its parent viewtopAnchor+ notch height.
private func configureNotchView() {
self.view.addSubview(notchView)
notchView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
notchView.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
notchView.layer.cornerRadius = 20
notchView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerXAnchor).activate()
notchView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: Constants.notchWidth).activate()
notchView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: Constants.notchHeight -
Constants.maxScrollOffset).activate()
notchViewBottomConstraint = notchView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.topAnchor,
constant: Constants.notchHeight)
notchViewBottomConstraint.activate()
}The result in an iPhone 8:
- Reacting while scrolling
(Looks clearer in an iPhone 8 what we are trying to do)
- We want to move down the notchView while scrolling
- To do this, first we have to conform our ViewController to UICollectionViewDelegate and call
scrollViewDidScrolldelegate function. In there we write the logic to move the notchView down. - The scrollView should scroll until it reaches
the maximum scrolling offset what we want to give - The bottom constrained of the notchView should be increased while scrolling.
extension ViewController: UICollectionViewDelegate {
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
// Making sure that we contentOffset of the scrollView is max to maxScrollOffset
scrollView.contentOffset.y = max(Constants.maxScrollOffset, scrollView.contentOffset.y)
// Move down the notchView until we have reached our threshold
notchViewTopConstraint.constant = Constants.notchTopOffset - min(0, scrollView.contentOffset.y)
}
- Drop the view from the notch
- When the scroll did end dragging we want to create the view that will be part of the flipping animation.
- We create the animatableView, reset
notchBottomConstraint, and move down thecollectionViewand drop the animatableView (notchView clone) with an animation and we round its corners.
private func animateView() {
// Create animatableView (notch clone)
let animatableView = UIImageView(frame: notchView.frame)
animatableView.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
animatableView.layer.cornerRadius = self.notchView.layer.cornerRadius
animatableView.layer.masksToBounds = true
animatableView.frame = self.notchView.frame
self.view.addSubview(animatableView)
// Reset notchView bottom constraint
notchViewBottomConstraint.constant = Constants.notchHeight
// Move the collectionView down
let flowLayout = collectionView.collectionViewLayout as! UICollectionViewFlowLayout
let height = flowLayout.itemSize.height + flowLayout.minimumInteritemSpacing
self.collectionView.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity.translatedBy(x: 0, y: -Constants.maxScrollOffset)
// Dropping animation
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, delay: 0, options: [], animations: {
let itemSize = flowLayout.itemSize
animatableView.frame.size = CGSize(width: Constants.notchWidth,
height: (itemSize.height / itemSize.width) * Constants.notchWidth)
// UIImage.fromColor(color), returns an image in a certain color
animatableView.image = UIImage.fromColor(self.view.backgroundColor?.withAlphaComponent(0.2) ?? UIColor.black)
animatableView.frame.origin.y = Constants.notchViewTopInset
self.collectionView.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity.translatedBy(x: 0, y: height * 0.5)
})
// Animate the corners
let cornerRadiusAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "cornerRadius")
cornerRadiusAnimation.fromValue = 16
cornerRadiusAnimation.toValue = 10
cornerRadiusAnimation.duration = 0.3
animatableView.layer.add(cornerRadiusAnimation, forKey: "cornerRadius")
animatableView.layer.cornerRadius = 10
}
extension ViewController: UICollectionViewDelegate {
...
func scrollViewDidEndDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView, willDecelerate decelerate: Bool) {
if scrollView.contentOffset.y <= Constants.maxScrollOffset {
animateView()
}
}
}- Flip it
- After dropping the view, a snapshot of the
collectionview cellis taken, the image is set on theanimatableViewand it is flipped with an animation.
private func animateView() {
...
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, delay: 0, options: [], animations: {
...
}) { _ in
// Snapshot the collectionView cell.
// It is easier to deal with an image of the cell than the cell itself
// This is the reason why animatableView is an UIImageView and not a UIView.
let item = self.collectionView.cellForItem(at: IndexPath(row: 0, section: 0))
animatableView.image = item?.snapshotImage()
// Flipping transition
UIView.transition(with: animatableView, duration: 0.6, options: UIViewAnimationOptions.transitionFlipFromBottom, animations: {
animatableView.frame.size = flowLayout.itemSize
animatableView.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: (self.collectionView.frame.width - flowLayout.itemSize.width) / 2.0,
y: self.collectionView.frame.origin.y - height * 0.5)
self.collectionView.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity.translatedBy(x: 0, y: height)
}, completion: { _ in
// Remove the animatableView
self.collectionView.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity
animatableView.removeFromSuperview()
// Add an item in section
self.numberOfItemsInSection += 1
self.collectionView.reloadData()
}
)
}
...
}The animation works as expected only in iPhone X in portrait mode
- Include the case when a NavigationBar is implemented.
