iPhone UILabel animation

I have a UILabel and when the value change in the label, I want to highlight it's background color from another color and exists for 2,3 seconds and get back to normal color.

Anyone have an idea how to do this?

  1. Add quartzCore as a framework
  2. Add an import QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h

  3. Use this code

    - (void) initController
{
      UIButton *myButton = [view viewWithTag:1]; // Just reference the button you have
      [myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(animateLabel) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];  
}

- (void) animateLabel
{

  CABasicAnimation* highlightAnim = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"backgroundColor"];
  highlightAnim.toValue = (id)[UIColor blueColor].CGColor;
  highlightAnim.duration = 2;          // In seconds 
  highlightAnim.autoreverses = YES;    // If you want to it to return to the normal color
  [label.layer addAnimation:highlightAnim forKey:nil];
 }
