CALayer animates with frame change?

calayer, ios

Solution

There is actually an implicit animation on setting some values for a CALayer. You have to disable the animations before you set a new frame.

[CATransaction begin];
[CATransaction setValue:(id)kCFBooleanTrue forKey:kCATransactionDisableActions];

[myView.myCALayer.frame = (CGRect){ { 10, 10 }, { 100, 100 } ];

[CATransaction commit];

Problem

I have a CALayer I've added to my view: ``` myView.myCALayer = [[CALayer alloc] init]; CGSize size = myView.frame.size; myView.myCALayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height); myView.myCALayer.backgroundColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor]; [myView.layer addSublayer:myView.myCALayer]; ``` When I attempt to change the frame of the CALayer after changing the frame of myView, the resize of the CALayer animates. I have added no animation to the CALayer, so I don't understand this. I've even attempted to call removeAllAnimations on the layer before the resize and it still animates the resize. Anyone know what could be going on here?
