Question

I have this insane piece of code. How do I animate this with Core Animation so I have way less code? I have found some code for doing “wiggle” animation but that’s in 3D, I just want the view to move side to side, I don’t want to animation it bouncing on the sides.

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.1f
                 animations:^{
                     CGRect frame = tableView.frame;
                     frame.origin.x -= 4;
                     tableView.frame = frame;
               } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                   [UIView animateWithDuration:0.1f
                                    animations:^{
                                        CGRect frame = tableView.frame;
                                        frame.origin.x += 4;
                                        tableView.frame = frame;
                                  } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                                        [UIView animateWithDuration:0.1f
                                                         animations:^{
                                                             CGRect frame = tableView.frame;
                                                             frame.origin.x -= 4;
                                                             tableView.frame = frame;
                                                       } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                                                             [UIView animateWithDuration:0.1f
                                                                              animations:^{
                                                                                  CGRect frame = tableView.frame;
                                                                                  frame.origin.x = 0;
                                                                                  tableView.frame = frame;
                                                                            } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                                                                                  // Nothing
                                                                            }
                                                              ];
                                                       }
                                        ];
                                  }
                    ];
               }
];

This question is a very concise way of performing a repeated motion animation. I used it for a rotation wiggle, but you can apply any transformation, in your case, a translation
