I am writing an application for an event my organization is hosting using Swift. I have an image with the floor layout and want to add buttons to select locations (such as bathrooms, entrances, exits, emergency sections, etc) so that people can click them and information about the location pops up.
I currently have an imageview with the floor layout within a scrollview to allow the user to zoom in and out of the image. When I try to add buttons to the scrollview they don't stay relative to the image when zooming in and out, nor do their size change. I have tried adding constraints on to make the location stay the same when zooming in and out.
It also won't let me relocate the button on the storyboard to be a subview of the imageview. Looking up similar solutions says to add the button programmatically as a subview of the imageview but then it'd be really hard to put the 100+ buttons in the right location. Any suggestions as to how to go about this?
you have no other choice instead of adding by code.. because from code you can add as subview of image view , whereas Storyboard wont add buttons as subviews of imageView, but it will add buttons as subview of Scroll View

I've ran into a weird issue lately:
I have a 320 x640 UIView within a UIScrollView. I've manually positioned buttons throughout the view and assigned actions to them. One of the buttons has a center at [x,y]: [287,440]. The button is 60x60.
I can tap all other buttons and controls located as low as Y = 353.
I see that the button is located on the same level as all of my other buttons, within the same view as them.
What could be causing my button to be completely untappable? I have another controller, which is also "tall", and there buttons located "off screen" are tappable. [If I move the button up to the level of other buttons, it works as expected.]
Here's the scroll view code:
self.scrollView.contentSize=CGSizeMake(320, 640);
Something is covering it. Try looping over all subviews and printing origin.y relative to scrollview origin.y, and then height plus relative position. Do this in viewWillAppear. Be aware that autoresizing behavior can kick in right after viewDidLoad and fool you. That is what happened to me earlier. There will be an overlap somewhere.
Can post code example later from home if this doesn't get you through it.
In My Application,i am having one scrollVIew containing multiple images.
and out of the scrollview i have one uiimageview.
i want to Drag any image from ScrollView and drop it on uiimageview which is out of the scrollview.
is it possible?
help And suggestions are appreciated
Thanks in advance.
gamozzii's reply is close to what you need to do, but there's one problem. An UIScrollView will eat touches, so tapping on an image will have no effect.
As a result you will have to subclass the UIScrollView
I have written a small functional app to illustrate dragging the image from a scroll view into an image view. You can download the project here.
Yes this should be possible, you will need to implement the touch/drag events directly.
Check out the touchesBegan, touchesMoved etc. delegate methods in UIResponder.
One approach would be to subclass imageview and implement touchesBegan, touchesMoved in it, and use this imageview subclass to display your images in the scroll view.
On the touchesBegan create a new image view and add it to the outer view and set its image to be the same as the one in the scroll view. You need to overlay it directly over your source image in the scroll view so adjust its frame origin to be relative to the outer view you will need to use the scrollview origin and also the content view size and offset of the source image view inside the content view in order to recalculate the new origin in the outer view.
Then on the touches moved, simply readjust the frame of this image in accordance with the coordinates from the touches moved so that the image follows the touch.
Do a boundary check against the frame of your target imageview - once the user drags it into this boundary, make that target imageviews image the same as the image in the view being dragged and remove the dragged image from the containing view and release it.
In case you're still interested in another solution (and for other users of course):
I did implement that behaviour before just like gamozzii recommended.
I set canCancelContentTouches = NO on the UIScrollView to make sure the subviews handle there touches on their own. If a subview (in your case an image) was touched, i moved the view out of the scrollview onto the superview and started tracking it's dragging. (You have to calculate the correct coordinates within the new superview, so it stays in place). After dragging finishes, i checked if the target area was reached, otherwise I moved it back into the scrollview.
The subviews are handling the dragging on there own via (touchesBegan:/Moved:/Ended:/Cancelled:).
If that's not detailed enough, here's my example code: Github: JDDroppableView
I have created a image gallery. I show all images from plist file in navigation view. When i open image in full view after that i have to back in navigation. But i want to move images in scrolling when image in fullview. After open image in full view i want to swap one by one next as well as previous...
Is there possible..??
Plz give me help about any kind..
Regards....
Yes thats possible, make your fullview a scrollview with its contentsize having the same width as your screen and its height being the combined height of its subviews (put at least two or 3 imageviews in the scrollview as subviews). You can add and remove UIImageviews as subviews of the uiscrollview as the user vertically pages through them. You will need to communicate with the navigation view what the table status is when your user returns to that view though so that everything matches up.
I have a scrollview that has a number of custom imageviews in it. I use the custom imageviews as I need to be able to drag any one of them off the scrollview and to another location on the iPad screen, bit like a photo picker.
Problem is if I want to scroll the scroll view most of the time the custom imageview gets the touch and moves rather than the desired scroll?
I notice in the sample code from Apple using the autoscroll example that they have the same issue but they have left a large gap between the images....ugly!
Is there a way to let the app know when you want the touch to be a scroll and when to be a drag?
Thanks
You could make a drag require holding for 1 second, similar to the behavior of the home screen when in editing mode: if you want to scroll, you just flick; if you want to drag, hold down for a moment until the icon enlarges, then you can move it.
What I am trying to do is to present an image at the top of the view and beneath it to show the details of it.
By now I am using a UITableView and a UIImageView. The UIImageView is at the top of the View and the UITableView beneath the UIImageView. In the UIImageView I load an image and I want to let the user to pan/zoom it. In the UITableView I show in sections the details of the image. Everything works ok, but when I enable zooming in the UIImageView the image covers parts of the tableView. Moreover, I cannot scroll anymore.
What is the correct combiantion of views for achieving the above requirements?
Instead of the UIImageView I'd use a UIScrollView with the UIImageView embedded in it, this will allow you to setup pan/zoom within whatever view size you want.
