Music.app / iTunes / lock screen / iRadio like sliding text

GKSlidingText

=================

Ever wanted the use the same Sliding Text like Apple uses on the lock screen or in the Music.app (or like we do it in iRadio) to display the song/artist? Here is GKSlidingText which reproduces this endless sliding effect.

How to use it

=================

• just drag and drop the GKSlidingText.h and GKSlidingText.m into your project.
• add QuartzCore.framework to your project (if you haven't added it yet)
• look at the sample code below.
• this project contains a sample project as well, just have a look at the implementation of ViewController.m
• have fun and follow @gekitz.

Sample Code

===============

GKSlidingText *slidingText = [[GKSlidingText alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 160, 280, 25)];
	
slidingText.text = @"This is a sliding text wohooo slide slide...";
[self.view addSubview:slidingText];

Under the following link you can see a video of what this source code actually produces.

gkslidingtext's Issues

Crashes on -[GKSlidingText animationDidStop:finished:]

I added crashlytics to my app, and in -[GKSlidingText animationDidStop:finished:] on line 174 it crashes because *** -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 1 beyond bounds [0 .. 0]

duplication of text

Sometimes if i exit app on the view with the GKSlidingText and then go back, the text will scroll but theres another layer under if of text not scrolling, so it duplicated itself on top?

Not centered text

When there is barely any text, its also not centered. In landscape the text says "Ho Hey" and the frame is (0, 5, (SCREEN_WIDTH-60)-60, 22), but the text is near the left side. Text should always be centered to look better, or allow a option for alignment.

Needs to have shadows

Should support shadow color and shadow offset.

Text color doesnt work

I set the color to dark gray but it was always white?
