I'm creating drawing application for iOS. To draw something with a touch I used a code from this tutorial: http://www.raywenderlich.com/18840/how-to-make-a-simple-drawing-app-with-uikit
My code that I use for drawing is the following:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
mouseSwiped = NO;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
lastPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
mouseSwiped = YES;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint currentPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.frame.size);
[self.tempDrawImage.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
CGContextMoveToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), lastPoint.x, lastPoint.y);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), currentPoint.x, currentPoint.y);
CGContextSetLineCap(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), kCGLineCapRound);
CGContextSetLineWidth(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), brush );
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), red, green, blue, 1.0);
CGContextSetBlendMode(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(),kCGBlendModeNormal);
CGContextStrokePath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
self.tempDrawImage.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
[self.tempDrawImage setAlpha:opacity];
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
lastPoint = currentPoint;
NSLog(@"Moved");
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
if(!mouseSwiped) {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.frame.size);
[self.tempDrawImage.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
CGContextSetLineCap(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), kCGLineCapRound);
CGContextSetLineWidth(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), brush);
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), red, green, blue, opacity);
CGContextMoveToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), lastPoint.x, lastPoint.y);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), lastPoint.x, lastPoint.y);
CGContextStrokePath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
CGContextFlush(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
self.tempDrawImage.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
}
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.mainImage.frame.size);
[self.mainImage.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height) blendMode:kCGBlendModeNormal alpha:1.0];
[self.tempDrawImage.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height) blendMode:kCGBlendModeNormal alpha:opacity];
self.mainImage.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
self.tempDrawImage.image = nil;
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
}
My problem is the following: this code works good on simulator and on my iPhone 5, but when I run it on my iPad 2, it's not working good. I mean when the touch is moved it gets drawn on the screen only each 3 seconds or something like this (it's not continous). Moreover when I keep moving my finger without lifting my finger app crashes after sometime.
I guess it's a performance issue. But why? Do you have any idea how can I fix it?
