I want to be able to fit any FULL image in a 612x612 UIImage for Instagram integration in my app. But i don't want any of the sides cut or anything. I want the full image weather its in landscape or portrait to fit fully in a 612x612 image. What im after is just like you can set an image content mode to aspect fit in an image view im looking for a method that will resize to my desired size(612x612) while keep its exact ratio.
The user selects an existing image through a uiimageview from there I want that image selected to be resized to 612 by 612 image while keeping the same ratio yet fully being within the 612x612 bounds here an example of what image f what i want a long portrait image to look when resized into a square image.
My instagram integration code..
NSURL *instagramURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"instagram://app"];
if([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:instagramURL]) //check for App is install or not
{
UIImage *viewImage;
switch (whichPhoto) {
case 1:
viewImage = photoOneImageView.image;
break;
case 2:
viewImage = photoTwoImageView.image;
break;
case 3:
viewImage = photoThreeImageView.image;
break;
default:
break;
}
//here is where i resize my image
viewImage = [self scaleImage:viewImage toSize:CGSizeMake(612, 612)];
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(viewImage); //convert image into .png format.
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];//create instance of NSFileManager
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); //create an array and store result of our search for the documents directory in it
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; //create NSString object, that holds our exact path to the documents directory
NSString *fullPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"insta.igo"]]; //add our image to the path
[fileManager createFileAtPath:fullPath contents:imageData attributes:nil]; //finally save the path (image)
NSLog(@"image saved");
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0 ,0 , 0, 0);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.view.bounds.size, self.view.opaque, 0.0);
[self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
NSString *fileNameToSave = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Documents/insta.igo"];
NSString *jpgPath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileNameToSave];
NSLog(@"jpg path %@",jpgPath);
NSString *newJpgPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"file://%@",jpgPath];
NSLog(@"with File path %@",newJpgPath);
NSURL *igImageHookFile = [[NSURL alloc]initFileURLWithPath:newJpgPath];
NSLog(@"url Path %@",igImageHookFile);
self.documentController.UTI = @"com.instagram.exclusivegram";
self.documentController = [self setupControllerWithURL:igImageHookFile usingDelegate:self];
self.documentController=[UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:igImageHookFile];
NSString *caption = @"My caption"; //settext as Default Caption
self.documentController.annotation=[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",caption],@"InstagramCaption", nil];
[self.documentController presentOpenInMenuFromRect:rect inView: self.view animated:YES];
}
else
{
NSLog (@"Instagram not found");
}
}
but instead i get this
Here is the method i use for resized works almost for landscape viewed images but not portrait
- (UIImage*) scaleImage:(UIImage*)image toSize:(CGSize)newSize {
CGSize scaledSize = newSize;
float scaleFactor = 1.0;
if( image.size.width > image.size.height ) {
scaleFactor = image.size.width / image.size.height;
scaledSize.width = newSize.width;
scaledSize.height = newSize.height / scaleFactor;
}
else {
scaleFactor = image.size.height / image.size.width;
scaledSize.height = newSize.height;
scaledSize.width = newSize.width / scaleFactor;
}
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions( scaledSize, NO, 0.0 );
CGRect scaledImageRect = CGRectMake( 0.0, 0.0, scaledSize.width, scaledSize.height );
[image drawInRect:scaledImageRect];
UIImage* scaledImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return scaledImage;
}
