I have a image like this: . In iPad, when I place it with these code:
[separatorLineView setFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 430, 3)];
separatorLineView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"divider.png"]];
In iPad, it shows up like this:
In iPhone, it works fine.
The code for iPhone looks like this:
[separatorLineView setFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 180, 3)];
separatorLineView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"divider.png"]];
How to avoid the repetition? Must I use resizableImageWithCapInsets?
Need some guidance and suggestions..
add the following method
-(UIImage *)imageResize :(UIImage*)img andResizeTo:(CGSize)newSize
{
CGFloat scale = [[UIScreen mainScreen]scale];
//UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(newSize);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, NO, scale);
[img drawInRect:CGRectMake(0,0,newSize.width,newSize.height)];
UIImage* newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return newImage;
}
now change your code as
[separatorLineView setFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 180, 3)];
separatorLineView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[self imageResize :[UIImage imageNamed:@"divider.png"] andResizeTo:separatorLineView.frame.size]];
Yes you are correct use resizableImageWithCapInsets.
