Animation on the iPhone - use image sequence or rotation?
- by user157733
I am creating a basic animation for my iPhone app. I have a choice to make between 2 different types of animation. I can use this...
NSArray *myImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage1.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage2.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage3.png"],
[UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage4.gif"], nil];
UIImageView *myAnimatedView = [UIImageView alloc];
[myAnimatedView initWithFrame:[self bounds]];
myAnimatedView.animationImages = myImages;
myAnimatedView.animationDuration = 0.25;
[self addSubview:myAnimatedView];
[myAnimatedView release];
or something like this...
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.5];
// other animations goes here
myImage.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI*0.5);
// other animations goes here
[UIView commitAnimations];
I have quite a few of these parts to animate so I want to choose an option which uses the least amount of memory and runds the quickest. Any advice would be great, thanks
