I have a uicollectionview cell with an image view inside that I want to resize when I switch to a larger 'zoomed in' layout.
I have placed constraints inside the cell that does resize the image view when the zoomed in layout is displayed. I am using uicollectionview setLayout animated method.
The problem is the image does not scale with animation only the collection view cell does.
The image seems to just jump into its end size with no interpolation. So the animation looks extremely choppy.
It seems as if I need to somehow control the auto layout constraints so they animate with the set layout animated method but I don't know how.
Is there a proper way to scale the cell and it's contents ?
Thanks so much!
I had (have) the same problem with Auto Layout!
Presently the simplest way I've found to deal with it is to set:
imageView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
This causes the imageView size transition to be animated smoothly and is the only thing that I've found to work consistently with setCollectionViewLayout:animated:
You may find this answer and the linked GitHub demo app I wrote to solve a similar issue helpful.

I am using iOS7 and I have a UIViewController with a UIImageView that fill the screen in Aspect Fit mode.
In portrait mode the image looks good but in landscape mode the image is off screen.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks ;-)
As you can see the image is in the same position in both orientations. It's the same distance away from the top panel and pushed up against the left side of the screen. iOS doesn't automatically change the frame of the image for you when you change orientations. You have to either do it programmatically or use auto layouts to achieve the display you want.
AutoLayout Guide
Autolayout is a pain to learn at first but stick with it. It's a great solution when you get the hang of constraints and start modifying them programatically. In fact it's recommended you never set the frame explicitly, you should always use constraints to position and size frames.
As Literphor mentioned above. it is layout issue. Either use autolayout or do the trial and error (because you are not familiar with Autosizing) with settings shown in below image. That should fix the issue.
self.imageView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin |
UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin;
You must "play" with autoresizingMask
I am developing a iOS-6 app. I have a UIViewController with a view that needs fixed orientation (portrait mode). But when the phone is rotated, one control on that view needs to be moved and rotated (so that it will always be in the upper left corner, and its text will be readable).
I am achieving this by shifting the control(a UIView) using the frame-property of my control (it is a custom view, more on that later), and then using CGAffineTRansformMakeRotate() afterwards, since I know that it's not advisable to use the frame after rotating a view. Everything is fine so far, but here's the thing: That custom view has three UIButtons of type UIButtonTypeCustom as its subviews. Because I rotated the View, but cannot rotate the buttons inside the view (they are not squares), I need to rotate the titleLabels of the Buttons for the text to be readable in the new deviceOrientation.
But it won't work very well. The text will be rotated, as I intended, but it will be clipped by the titleLabel, because the titleLabel has the wrong frame. I checked this by applying borders to the label. So I need to change the titleLabels frame, right? But how can I do that? I tried setting it using [titleLabel setFrame: frameThatFits];, but to no avail. (frameThatFits is a CGRect I created). Also, calling [button.titleLabel sizeToFit]; has no effect that I could see.
I am using [button setTitle:title forControlState: UIControlStateNormal];to set the title.
TL;DR: I'm trying to change the frame/bounds of a UIButtons titleLabel after rotating it using an affine transformation. Any help?
Thanks.
PS: I can supply code when needed, but I wouldn't know what to show you. Tell me what you need, I'll post it.
OK, first of all, thanks to everyone who tried to help. Im posting an alternative solution for my problem, and although it doesnt really address the problem of changing the titleLabels dimensions, it will result in the proper display of my ViewController.
It turns out using the frame is a bad idea. I initially used the frame to reposition the view and i figured that this couldnt be a problem because i only ever applied transformations afterwards, but i was wrong. Because OBVIOUSLY i tried to change the titleLabels frame. AFTER the rotation. And that didnt work.
So the way to go here is using the center-property and the bouds of the view consistently throughout the code. It will result in properly rotated Buttons, that do not need any fidgeting afterwards.
My takeaway here is that i will never ever again use the frame-property outside of a NSLog-statement. But why [button sizeToFit];wouldnt yield any results is still beyond me. If i ever figure it out, i might post it if i remember.
EDIT:
#ZevEisenberg nailed it with this comment:
“Warning: If the transform property is not the identity transform, the value of this property is undefined and therefore should be ignored.” So you are right to use the center and bounds here, but if you do not have a transform, the frame is perfectly safe to use.
NEXT EDIT:
Heres how i ended up repositioning the Buttons:
-(CGPoint)centerForView:(UIView *)view{
//calculate a suitableposition for the view
//depending on the current orientation and the device type (iphone 4S/5, etc)
return point;
}
Then, as a reaction to the deviceOrientation change notification, i apply CGAffineTransformIdentity to all the views, reposition them using my centerForView shown above, and apply the correct rotation transformation to the View. I do this for all the subviews every time the divice rotates, like so:
-(void)setRightRotationTransformations{
[self resetAllTransformations];
self.someSubview.transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(self.someSubview.transform, -M_PI_2);
}
In my case works such hack:
set Line Break mode to Word Wrap
Add extra line to title (even for one line title)

Scrolling down you will see a girl's cloths are changing on mouse wheel scrolling.
I have to create a iPad application where 3 images will appear likewise. The difference will be that in my case image change will occur horizontally rather than vertically in website. Also, i have to make it inside UIView with events touchesBegan, touchesMoved, touchesEnded and touchesCancelled
Help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
From your comment I gather that the problem is the resizing of the images in UIImageView when changing the bounds of the view.
You can set the contentMode of the image view to something else. The default is UIViewContentModeScaleToFill which is not what you want.
You could, for example, set the lower image view to UIViewContentModeBottom, and the upper image view to UIViewContentModeTop.
Don't forget to make sure your image views have sett the property maskToBounds set as YES.
I have a scroll view with a image view inside. I was wondering whether it's possible to have the image inside the image view be much smaller than the resolution of the screen, and somehow be able to stretch it to fit the screen.
Set contentMode on the UIImageView and change its size.
[UIImageView setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleToFill];
Check the docs for more informations regarding UIViewContentMode:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/uiview_class/UIView/UIView.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006816-CH3-SW69
Sure, just change the bounds of the imageView.
Am I missing something here?
Your UIImageView is within an UIScrollView I understand?
That would work by adjusting the scroll view plus adusting the image view appropriately. However that is not advisable to do. You will get lost in small errors with annoying effects.
I'd suggest to add an additional UIView that can match the bounds of the screen.
Add that view to the underlying "view" object and use the bringSubviewToFront method.
You could as well make sure that this new UIView is the first subview of the most underlying view object. You could achieve that by manipulating the subviews array structure - which I do not recommend in general wihout having fully understood everythng about the view hierarchy.
You can as well achieve that by adding the additional view at first before adding any other view. (Within IB just make sure that the new view is the topmost in the tree, coming next to the view controllers "view".) And then make it hidden until you actually need it. Then you unhide it. When it is not needed anymore then hide it again and neither delete it nor erase it from its superview.
I need to create a scrollable composite view on iOS. That is to say, the view will contain at least one image, possibly a button, and some text (that we may wish to format with bold fonts, etc). The amount of data, and particularly the amount of text, is variable, from maybe 4 lines to maybe 100. The data is "variable" to a degree, and in particular the image and text do not come joined at the hip.
This all needs to fit in a "pane" of about 280h x 115w pixels in a portrait-only layout.
A single UITextView doesn't provide the facilities to display an image or format the text.
A UIWebView provides the ability to display the image and formatted text, but the button is a problem (not even sure if it's doable).
A UIScrollView would easily allow the image and button, and then a UIWebView could be embedded in the scroll view for the text, but then scrolling becomes a problem -- I'd like the entire view to scroll as one, without having to resize the web view to contain it's content, and without the confusion of a scrollable within a scrollable (the doc warns of "unexpected behavior").
(I'm guessing your thoughts at this point are that I want too much.)
So, any suggestions? What's the best way to get close to what I need here?
In iOS5 the UIWebView has a scrollView property, which is a normal UIScrollView. You should be able to add a UIButton as a subview of the scrollView to achieve what you want, although positioning it correctly may be a challenge. Prior to iOS5 you could cycle through the subviews of the UIWebView to find the UIScrollView with isKindOfClass...
I suggest testing with a UIWebView inside your UIScrollView. I don't see any interference in the iOS 5.0 simulator. I don't know if there are problems in iOS 4.0.
If you find that there is interference, you can prevent it by setting the web view's userInteractionEnabled property to NO, either in the nib or in code. This will prevent the web view from receiving any touches, so the user also won't be able to pinch-zoom it, follow links in it, or copy text from it.
In the web view's delegate, implement webViewDidFinishLoad: to set the web view's size and the scroll view's contentSize. For example:
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {
CGRect frame = self.webView.frame;
frame.size = [self.webView sizeThatFits:CGSizeMake(frame.size.width, HUGE_VALF)];
self.webView.frame = frame;
self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(CGRectGetMaxX(frame), CGRectGetMaxY(frame));
}
When I did a similar thing, I had a dozen of views which I added to the UIScrollView and then calculated the frames of all the views. Granted, it was an extremely tedious work, given that some views could get hidden under various conditions. The layout code was actually pretty simple, laying out views from top to bottom, but ugly. The upshot is that it works like a charm, fast and reliably. You can even trivially wrap it in an animation block.
