Question

I have two objects that fade into display simultaneously that are initially set to hidden, I want to fire the second animation a couple of seconds after the first but they both fade in at the same time?

_text.alpha = 0;

_text.hidden = NO;

[UIView animateWithDuration:1.9 animations:^{
   _text.alpha = 1;


}];

////////////second animation

_note.alpha = 0;

_note.hidden = NO;

[UIView setAnimationDelay:2.0];

[UIView animateWithDuration:1.9 animations:^{
    _note.alpha = 1;


}];

Answer 1

Try this:

[UIView animateWithDuration:1.9 animations:^{
    _text.alpha = 1;    
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {

    [UIView animateWithDuration:1.9 animations:^{
       _note.alpha = 1;
    }];

}];

The second block gets called when the first animation ended.
