Turn a page like a Book with UIView?

Question

I am trying to switch between UIViews by making it look like you are turning a page in a book.

The UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlUp is pretty close if I could get it to curl toward the Left or Right. Is this possible?

I have tried to use the CATRansition but none of the animation types come close to a page turning.

Any suggestions on how to create this page animation transition that would turn a page toward the left or right?

Answer 1

Edit (June 2012) : It is now possible to use the native Apple implementation, check:

• Page View Controller: Note that this is available since iOS 5.0.

Also check this other libs/methods:

• Leaves: Not so realistic, but really easy to use.
• PageCurl: Really nice effect, easy to use.
• Implementing iBooks page curling using a conical deformation algorithm: Amazing, but it's just a proof of concept, difficult to expand.

Answer 2

There's nothing in the SDK that will do this for you. If you want this effect, you'll have to roll your own. "Classics" does a nice job with the page-flip animation.

Answer 3

You can manage this effect by changing the orientation of the UIViewController where the animation takes place.
