Animate Line Under One Button to Another

Animate Line under one button to another

You ask:

How is the animation done? Is the bar an imageview that moves?

More than likely it's just a UIView whose background color is that light blue, and whose frame (or whose constraints that define the frame) are changed within a [UIView animateWithDuration:] block.


For example, in Objective-C, you might have these properties:

@property (nonatomic, weak) UIView *underlineView;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *underlineConstraints;
@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UIButton *button1;

and this code:

- (void)addUnderline {
UIView *underlineView = [[UIView alloc] init];
underlineView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
underlineView.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
[self.view addSubview:underlineView];
self.underlineView = underlineView;

[self updateConstraintsForUnderlineView:underlineView underButton:self.button1];
}

- (IBAction)didTapButton:(UIButton *)sender {
[self updateConstraintsForUnderlineView:self.underlineView underButton:sender];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.25 delay:0.0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseOut animations:^{
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
} completion:nil];
}

- (void)updateConstraintsForUnderlineView:(UIView *)underlineView underButton:(UIButton *)button {
if (self.underlineConstraints) {
[self.view removeConstraints:self.underlineConstraints];
}

NSDictionary *views = NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(underlineView, button);
self.underlineConstraints = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:[button]-[underlineView(5)]" options:NSLayoutFormatAlignAllLeading | NSLayoutFormatAlignAllTrailing metrics:nil views:views];
[self.view addConstraints:self.underlineConstraints];
}

Or in Swift:

weak var underlineView: UIView!
var underlineConstraints: [AnyObject]!
@IBOutlet weak var button1: UIButton!

func addUnderline() {
let underlineView = UIView()
view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
underlineView.backgroundColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()
view.addSubview(underlineView)
self.underlineView = underlineView

updateConstraintsForUnderlineView(underlineView, underButton:button1)
}

@IBAction func didTapButton(sender: UIButton) {
updateConstraintsForUnderlineView(underlineView, underButton:sender)
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.25, delay: 0.0, options: .CurveEaseOut, animations: { () -> Void in
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion: nil)
}

func updateConstraintsForUnderlineView(underlineView: UIView, underButton button: UIButton) {
if underlineConstraints != nil {
view.removeConstraints(underlineConstraints)
}

let views = ["underlineView": underlineView, "button": button]
underlineConstraints = NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat("V:[button]-[underlineView(5)]", options: .AlignAllLeading | .AlignAllTrailing, metrics: nil, views: views)
view.addConstraints(underlineConstraints)
}

How to animate underline from left to right?

You can use gradient and adjust background-position with a delay to obtain such effect:

.un {
display: inline-block;
padding-bottom:2px;
background-image: linear-gradient(#000 0 0);
background-position: 0 100%; /*OR bottom left*/
background-size: 0% 2px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
transition:
background-size 0.3s,
background-position 0s 0.3s; /*change after the size immediately*/
}

.un:hover {
background-position: 100% 100%; /*OR bottom right*/
background-size: 100% 2px;
}
<span class="un">Underlined Text</span>

Animate button from one point to another

This is not a trivial thing to do.

Basically you're trying to animate a button between two completely different parts of the visual tree, so you're going to have to template the whole thing and wrap everything up in a parent layout that contains both your expander and the button you're trying to animate.

Templating your expander shouldn't be too difficult, just move your cursor to it's XAML, go to the properties tab, select "Template" and click the little square to the right to generate all the code for the new ControlTemplate. I've done it for you in the code below, but the theming will probably be all wrong so you'll want to do it yourself.

Next step is to create two rectangles, one in the expanders header and one in its content area. Set the size of these to whatever you want your button to be but set the fill to Transparent; they're only placeholders to help with layout, and you'll use them just to align your button control later on.

Now you'll need to go back to your ControlTemplate and wrap all the content (i.e. the top-level border) in a grid. You'll also want to place your actual button as a child of this grid.

Finally, you'll need a behaviour that binds to the two rectangles you created (so it can calculate From and To points), the parent grid (so that it has a parent control it can animate your button relative to) and the expander (so it can trigger animations in response to the expander expanding and collapsing). The actual animation itself can then be a ThicknessAnimation which animates the button's Margin.

Put all that together and you get this:
