Consider a UIScrollView
with a single subview. The subview is an UIImageView
with the following size constraints:
- Its height must be equal to the height of the
UIScrollView
. - Its width must be the width of the image scaled proportionally to the height of the
UIImageView
.
It is expected that the width of the UIImageView
will be bigger than the width of the UIScrollView, hence the need for scrolling.
The image might be set during viewDidLoad
(if cached) or asynchronously.
How do you implement the above using autolayout, making as much use as possible of Interface builder?
What I've done so far
Based on this answer I configured my nib like this:
- The
UIScrollView
is pinned to the edges of its superview. - The
UIImageView
is pinned to the edges of theUIScrollView
. - The
UIImageView
has a placeholder intrinsic size (to avoid the Scrollable Content Size Ambiguity error)
As expected, the result is that the UIImageView
is sized to the size of the UIImage
, and the UIScrollView
scrolls horizontally and vertically (as the image is bigger than the UIScrollView
).
Then I tried various things which didn't work:
- After loading the image manually set the frame of
UIImageView
. - Add a constraint for the width of the UIImageView and modify its value after the image has been loaded. This makes the image even bigger (?!).
- Set
zoomScale
after the image is loaded. Has no visible effect.
Without autolayout
The following code does exactly as I want, albeit without autolayout or interface builder.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
{
UIScrollView *scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
scrollView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
[self.view addSubview:scrollView];
self.scrollView = scrollView;
}
{
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.scrollView.frame.size.width, self.scrollView.frame.size.height)];
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
imageView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
[self.scrollView addSubview:imageView];
self.scrollView.contentSize = imageView.frame.size;
self.imageView = imageView;
}
}
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
[super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
[self layoutStripImageView];
}
- (void)layoutStripImageView
{ // Also called when the image finishes loading
UIImage *image = self.imageView.image;
if (! image) return;
const CGSize imageSize = image.size;
const CGFloat vh = self.scrollView.frame.size.height;
const CGFloat scale = vh / imageSize.height;
const CGFloat vw = imageSize.width * scale;
CGSize imageViewSize = CGSizeMake(vw, vh);
self.imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, imageViewSize.width, imageViewSize.height);
self.scrollView.contentSize = imageViewSize;
}
I'm trying really hard to move to autolayout but it's not being easy.
