Question

Can I pause a view for a certain amount of time? Basically, while an action is occurring, my view becomes messed up and I cannot figure out why. Everything gets shifted, and I’ve been looking through the code line by line for hours. So can I prevent the view from changing itself and then somehow resume it after the action is over? I really don’t know if this is a stupid question, but thanks for your help!

Answer 1

The action is sending something to a server, for whatever reason the
entire view is shifted. After the view is shifted, I have the
coordinates outputted to the log, and it thinks the view is at 0,0,
even though it’s not.

I think you might be getting mixed up in the distinction between frames & bounds?

From this link

The frame of an UIView is the rectangle, expressed as a location (x,y)
and size (width,height) relative to the superview it is contained
within.

The bounds of an UIView is the rectangle, expressed as a location
(x,y) and size (width,height) relative to its own coordinate system
(0,0).

Essentially, if you’re looking at the origin coordinates of the bounds of your view, it will always be 0,0. Instead, you should look at its frame coordinates. I hope this helps you in figuring out the problem.
