Here is a working SWIFT example: Auto change text with timer

[wy1024]

Just wanted to put it out there in case anyone needs it. Here is a swift controller, and changes the text itself with a timer.

import Foundation
import UIKit
import RQShineLabel
import Parse

class IntroViewController: UIViewController {
var shineLabel = RQShineLabel()
var timer = Timer()
var textArray = ["111", "222", "333"]
var currentCount = 0

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)
    
    self.shineLabel.shine()
}

var background1 = UIImageView()
var background2 = UIImageView()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    
    background1 = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "IntroBackground1")!)
    background1.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
    background1.frame = self.view.bounds
    self.view.addSubview(background1)
    
    background2 = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "IntroBackground2")!)
    background2.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
    background2.frame = self.view.bounds
    background2.alpha = 0
    self.view.addSubview(background2)
    
    self.shineLabel = RQShineLabel(frame: CGRect(x: 16, y: 16, width: 298, height: 300))
    self.shineLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
    self.shineLabel.text = "Welcome to my app"
    self.shineLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
    self.shineLabel.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Light", size: 18.0)
    self.shineLabel.center = self.view.center;
    self.view.addSubview(self.shineLabel)
    
    scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval()

    self.view.bringSubview(toFront: self.logo)
    self.view.bringSubview(toFront: self.loginView)
}

func scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(){
    // Scheduling timer to Call the function "updateCounting" with the interval of 1 seconds
    timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 8, target: self, selector: #selector(self.updateCounting), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
}

func updateCounting(){
    if (self.shineLabel.isVisible) {
        self.shineLabel.fadeOut(completion: {
            let textIndex = self.currentCount % self.textArray.count
            let text = self.textArray[textIndex]
            self.shineLabel.text = text
            self.currentCount += 1
            UIView.animate(withDuration: 2.5, animations: {
                if (self.background1.alpha > 0.1) {
                    self.background1.alpha = 0;
                    self.background2.alpha = 1;
                }
                else {
                    self.background1.alpha = 1;
                    self.background2.alpha = 0;
                }
            })
            self.shineLabel.shine()
        })
    } else {
        self.shineLabel.shine()
    }
    
}

}

Hi there, could this be used with storyboard instead programmatic Label?

RQShineLabel inherits from UILabel. Just add it as a label in IB and set the class to RQShineLabel.
