Stopping an UIView animation that was started but being delayed

Question

[UIView animateWithDuration:1 delay:4 options:(UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction | UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn)
    animations:^
        {
            // do something here (irrelevant)
        }
        completion:nil
];

How do I stop the animation within the time of the delay? For example, I want to stop this animation after I execute it but before the delay timer ends. I've tried [self.view.layer removeAllAnimations]; but to no avail.

EDIT: As I've stated. I've tried [self.view.layer removeAllAnimations]; but to no avail.

Have you tried wrap it like this: `[CATransaction begin];[theView.layer removeAllAnimations];[CATransaction commit]`; — Jakub Truhlář, Nov 19 '14 at 14:31
Can u please show the code inside the `animationWithDuration`. Maybe your `removeAllAnimations` is on another view and not on the view u want to cancel?! :/ — gran33, Nov 19 '14 at 15:04

I didn't try it but you can stop all animations with [view.layer removeAllAnimations]; it should work.

You could use NSTimer and then just call [timer invalidate] if you no longer want the animation to run.

E.g.:

NSTimer *timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:4 target:self selector:@selector(animateView:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];

// Then stop...

[timer invalidate];
