iOS Choppy Animations

[ahan.tm]

Hi, In my app I have a method system for the user to drag UIImageViews on the screen. The problem is, that when a user drags an image, it is choppy and stops in the middle. Here is my code:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
    marblebeingdragged = NO;
    UITouch *touch = [[event touchesForView:self.view] anyObject];
    CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:touch.view];
    
    
    if(CGRectContainsPoint(plusone.frame, location) && marblebeingdragged == NO)  //Drag Plus One
    {
        marblebeingdragged = YES;
        UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
        CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:touch.view];
        plusone.center = location;
    }
    if(CGRectContainsPoint(plustwo.frame, location) && marblebeingdragged == NO) //Drag Plus Two
    {
        
        marblebeingdragged = YES;
        UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
        CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:touch.view];
        plustwo.center = location;
        
    }
    if(CGRectContainsPoint(plusthree.frame, location) && marblebeingdragged == NO) //Drag Plus Three
    {
        
        marblebeingdragged = YES;
        UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
        CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:touch.view];
        plusthree.center = location;
        
    }
    if(CGRectContainsPoint(minusone.frame, location) && marblebeingdragged == NO) //Drag Minus One
    {
        
        marblebeingdragged = YES;
        UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
        CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:touch.view];
        minusone.center = location;
        
    }
    if(CGRectContainsPoint(minustwo.frame, location) && marblebeingdragged == NO) //Drag Minus Two
    {
        marblebeingdragged = YES;
        UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
        CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:touch.view];
        minustwo.center = location;
        
    }
    if(CGRectContainsPoint(minusthree.frame, location) && marblebeingdragged == NO) //Drag Minus Three
    {
        marblebeingdragged = YES;
        UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
        CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:touch.view];
        minusthree.center = location;
    }

        marblebeingdragged = NO;
        
    }
    else{
        marblebeingdragged = YES;
    }
}

Is this a problem with my code, or is it with Color Blended Layers/Core Animation?

Thanks

Auwch, i'd recommand using GestureRecognizers.
Make a subclass of an UIView, which you call MarbleView.
It should extend from UIView
And you give it a class to assign it's image, and others, that's what you decide.
After, it's easy as this.

    UIPanGestureRecognizer *panRecognizer = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(panGestureMoveAround:)];
    [panRecognizer setMinimumNumberOfTouches:1];
    panRecognizer.delegate = self;
    [self addGestureRecognizer:panRecognizer];
    [panRecognizer release];

That's for the panning around.
And in that piece of code, i do use my own delegate, so you should work around that. But here it is.

-(void)panGestureMoveAround:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *)gesture;
{
    UIView *piece = [gesture view];
    [self bringSubviewToFront:piece];
    CGPoint translation = [gesture translationInView:[piece superview]];
    if ([gesture state] == UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged) {
        [piece setCenter:CGPointMake([piece center].x + translation.x, [piece center].y+translation.y)];
        [gesture setTranslation:CGPointZero inView:[piece superview]];
    } else if ([gesture state] == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded) {
        [_delegate vormenView:self panningDidEnd:CGPointMake(self.frame.origin.x, self.frame.origin.y)];
    }
}

PS: after in your code, you can just Add MarbleView as object, and just drag it around ^_- Will save you alot of coding. Subclassing that is.

Will your code work with multiple image views? If yes, where do I implement your code?

Thanks for your response!

Ofcourse it will, the thing is, you have to create your own "UIImageView", so not the standard UIImageView.
If you create a subclass of them, and just call them instead of your UIImageView, your code will apply to every one you instantiate. This is some Obj-C coding, you might want to read up on Subclassing Classes.
Then you will understand what I am talking about.
And you will see that my code will work on every one
It's close to copy/paste my stuff if you know what I'm talking about.
