# UIViewAnimatingState.active

The animator object is active and animations are either running or paused. An animator moves to this state after the first call to startAnimation() or pauseAnimation(). It stays in the active state until the animations finish naturally or until you call the stopAnimation(_:) method.

## Declaration
