IOS UIView Bounce Animation

Question

I have a UIVIew (container) and another UIView (box) the box view is inside of the ContainerView. When a UIButton is pressed I would like the box view to drop down off the bottom of the screen, and bounce with 10px left; then once the bouncing has stopped I still want the box to have 10px showing. Here is some sample code of from another question:

UIDynamicAnimator *animator = [[UIDynamicAnimator alloc] initWithReferenceView:self]; //self is the container

UIGravityBehavior* gravityBehavior = [[UIGravityBehavior alloc] initWithItems:@[box]];
[animator addBehavior:gravityBehavior];

UICollisionBehavior* collisionBehavior = [[UICollisionBehavior alloc] initWithItems:@[reportBar.bar]];
collisionBehavior.translatesReferenceBoundsIntoBoundary = YES;
[animator addBehavior:collisionBehavior];

UIDynamicItemBehavior *elasticityBehavior =
[[UIDynamicItemBehavior alloc] initWithItems:@[box]];
elasticityBehavior.elasticity = 0.7f;
[animator addBehavior:elasticityBehavior];

The code is running when it should but the box isn't dropping.

Edit 1:

• Self refers to the container UIView
• I have also tried changing self for the currentViewController.view, no change.

Edit 2:

• all of this code is inside the container view implementation file.

Answer 1

give a try to make animator property,

@property UIDynamicAnimator *animator;

and then your code,

_animator = [[UIDynamicAnimator alloc] initWithReferenceView:self];

 ...

Answer 2

I think you didn't specify the correct reference view. It should be either self.view or self.containerView

UIDynamicAnimator *animator = [[UIDynamicAnimator alloc] initWithReferenceView:self];

Update I think you should put the code in the ViewController for this scene and as @BaSha suggested create a animator property and after a button click you will add the behavior and will reference self.containerView Just make sure that boxView is inside of the containerView

The following code snippet can provide BOUNCE EFFECT on your views.

CABasicAnimation * animation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"position.y"];</br>
[animation setFromValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:y-position1]];   
[animation setToValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:y-position2]];
[animation setDuration:.7];    //   time gap between the bounces
animation.repeatCount=500;    //    no:of times bounce effect has to be done 
[YOURVIEW.layer addAnimation:animation forKey:@"somekey"];
