Shimmer on a UIButton

[eikebartels]

Hey,

it is possible to set the Shimmer on a UIButton? I tried it already and it is not working. How can I modifier the lib for this feature?

ps: thanks for this awesome lib!!

    FBShimmeringView *shimmeringView = [[FBShimmeringView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
    [self.view addSubview:shimmeringView];

    shimmeringView.contentView = self.loginBt.titleLabel;

    // Start shimmering.
    shimmeringView.shimmering = YES;

I added the button via storyboard (weak, nonatomic)

You should be able to use Shimmer with a button, but it might not work if you try and use it with one part of a button. In this case, trying to pull out the titleLabel from the button might not work.

Instead, you could try using the button itself as the content of the shimmering view:

shimmeringView.contentView = self.loginBt;

That way, the button's title can stay within the button itself. Let me know if that helps!

Here's an example it looks like for me with a rounded-rect button shimmering:

Hey,

now I found a good looking solution for me.

I added a UIButton via Storyboard and the below.

   FBShimmeringView *shimmeringView = [[FBShimmeringView alloc] initWithFrame:self.loginBt.bounds];
    shimmeringView.alpha = 0.5;
    [self.loginBt addSubview:shimmeringView];

    UIView * v = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:shimmeringView.bounds];
    [v setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];


    shimmeringView.contentView = v;

    // Start shimmering.
    shimmeringView.shimmering = YES;

Cheers

I good similar problems. In my subclassed UIButton I added this code. The button starts to shimmer as expected but it stops reacting to touches.

[self.titleLabel removeFromSuperview];
self.shimmeringView = [[FBShimmeringView alloc] initWithFrame:self.bounds];
self.titleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
self.shimmeringView.contentView = self.titleLabel;
[self addSubview:self.shimmeringView];

@DocterD I think it's likely that your shimmering view is covering up taps on the button. Maybe set userInteractionEnabled = NO on the shimmering view so it can't claim touches?

I think I already tried this. Afaik userInteractionEnabled applies to all subviews.

Right, you'd disable interaction on the shimmering view so touches can fall through to the button.

If you're still having issues, I would avoid shimmering internal subviews of UIButton. Instead, try shimmering the entire button as the contentView or a manually created label.

if someone has still trouble here my code

-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder{
    self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
    if (self) {
        self.shimmeringView = [[FBShimmeringView alloc] initWithFrame:self.bounds];
        [self addSubview:self.shimmeringView];
        self.shimmeringView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

        self.shimmeringView.contentView = self.titleLabel;
        self.titleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
    }
    return self;
}
