I am trying to add a sublayer on my UIImageView
but it doesn't work.
photo0
to photo9
and I display
it with a timer of 5s. shanghaiImage
is my background I would like to add a gradient on top of this marty like: transparent (top) to black (bottom).
Thanks for the help :)
Here is my code in Swift 3.
This part is fine :
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var shanghaiImage: UIImageView!
// beginning index
var _curentImageIndex:Int = 0
// number of images
let NUMBER_OF_IMAGES:Int = 10
// creation of the Timer
var _uiTimer:Timer?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
showPhoto(atIndex: _curentImageIndex)
}
// MARK TIMER ---------
func selectNewTimer(){
if let existingTimer:Timer = _uiTimer{
existingTimer.invalidate()
}
_uiTimer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 5, target: self, selector: #selector(ViewController.showNextImage), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
}
It's here where there is a problem. I don't know why it's not working.
// MARK PHOTO ---------
func showPhoto(atIndex index:Int){
let photoName:String = "photo\(index)"
shanghaiImage.image = UIImage(named: photoName)
let gradient = CAGradientLayer()
gradient.frame = shanghaiImage.bounds
let startColor = UIColor(colorLiteralRed: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 1)
let endColor = UIColor.black
gradient.colors = [startColor, endColor]
shanghaiImage.layer.insertSublayer(gradient, at: 0)
_curentImageIndex = index
selectNewTimer()
}
func showNextImage() {
var nextPhotoIndex:Int = _curentImageIndex + 1
if nextPhotoIndex >= NUMBER_OF_IMAGES {
nextPhotoIndex = 0
}
showPhoto(atIndex: nextPhotoIndex)
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
I would suggest putting a UIView
with the gradient on top of the UIImageView
:
@IBOutlet weak var shanghaiImage: UIImageView!
let view = UIView(frame: profileImageView.frame)
let gradient = CAGradientLayer()
gradient.frame = view.frame
gradient.colors = [UIColor.clear.cgColor, UIColor.black.cgColor]
gradient.locations = [0.0, 1.0]
view.layer.insertSublayer(gradient, at: 0)
shanghaiImage.addSubview(view)
shanghaiImage.bringSubview(toFront: view)
Objective-C:
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: profileImageView.frame];
CAGradientLayer *gradient = [[CAGradientLayer alloc] init];
gradient.frame = view.frame;
gradient.colors = @[ (id)[[UIColor clearColor] CGColor], (id)[[UIColor blackColor] CGColor] ];
gradient.locations = @[@0.0, @1.0];
[view.layer insertSublayer: gradient atIndex: 0];
[shanghaiImage addSubview: view];
[shanghaiImage bringSubviewToFront: view];
