Hallo Jeshua
The following is all written from memory, not looking at actual code.
To receive notifications, you have to set and impplement a delegate and
use it in your CALayer. Like this:
- (void) setupLayer
{
CABasicAnimation *anim = [CABasicAnimation animation];
CALayer *myLayer = [CALayer layer];
[layer setDelegate:self];
[layer setNeedsDisplay]; // also calls the delegate, if implemented
[rootLayer addSubLayer:layer];
anim.keyPath = @"transform.rotation.x";
anim.duration = 5.0;
anim.repeatCount = 1.0;
anim.autoreverses = NO;
anim.fromValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.0];
anim.toValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:2.0*M_PI];
[layer addAnimation:anim forKey:@"rotate_x"];
// since we registered 'self' as the delegate, we'll
// receive the message below when the animation has finished
}
- (void)animationDidStop:(CAAnimation *)theAnimation finished:(BOOL)flag
{
// theAnimation is the CABasicAnimation object used above
}
- (void) drawLayer:(CALayer *)layer inContext:(CGContextRef)ctx
{
// draw layer content, triggered by 'setNeedsDisplay' above.
}
You can implement a single delegate object for all registered
animations.
I hope my short answer gives you enough clues, otherwise I implement a
complete
example.

Patrick

Hello again,
Hi Jeshua
Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your help - that looks perfect!
I have one question - hopefully not for myself this time. :)
Is there a callback or some way to determine when a
CAKeyframeAnimation has finished playing? Or do I need to set up a
timer and calculate when a animation has played (assuming the
repeatCount is set to 1)?
I would like to be able to reuse my array of CAKeyframeAnimations,
but I only want to reuse them if they have finished playing a
given animation...
Have a look the abstract class 'CAAnimation' that invokes this
delegate method:
- (void)animationDidStop:(CAAnimation *)theAnimation finished:
(BOOL)flag
It also indicates if the animation did stop on its own or has been
removed. Simply implement this message in the CALayers delegate.
I implemented that message in the same class as I am invoking the
CAAnimation, and it is not being called.
I am not sure what you mean by the CALayers delegate. Is the
function in my class the delegate method?
Thanks again,
