zooming in a UIScrollView changing the (zoom-scaled) content size - iphone

I've got a vertically scrolling scroll view with frame (1000, 500) and contentSize (1000, 1500). This works fine. However, as soon as I zoom in, it crops the content size to whatever I was looking at before the zoom, so, I can't scroll vertically anymore past the original bounds. That is, if I zoom to 2x from the default view, it now reports contentSize as (2000, 1000) instead of the expected (2000, 3000). I can't scroll past that initial (1000, 500) rectangle I was looking at. When I zoom back out to 1x, I still can no longer scroll vertically; it changes the contentSize to (1000, 500).
How do I fix this? Can I not combine scrolling and zooming in the same UIScrollView? I tried saving the height before zoom, and then correcting the contentSize in the didEndZooming delegate method (contentSize = (width, savedHeight * scale)), but then it displays all sorts of odd behavior, including jumping around on landing.
Shouldn't this just work out of the box? Am I crazy?
- (void)createPage {
self.fullWidthScroller = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,LANDSCAPE_WIDTH,LANDSCAPE_HEIGHT)];
[self.view addSubview:self.fullWidthScroller];
self.fullWidthScroller.contentSize = CGRectMake(0,0,LANDSCAPE_WIDTH,LANDSCAPE_HEIGHT*2);
self.fullWidthScroller.delegate = self;
self.fullWidthScroller.minimumZoomScale = 1.0;
self.fullWidthScroller.maximumZoomScale = 3.0;
self.fullWidthScroller.bouncesZoom = YES;
self.container = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,LANDSCAPE_WIDTH,LANDSCAPE_HEIGHT)];
[self.fullWidthScroller addSubview:self.container];
self.page = [[SinglePageViewStretched alloc] init];
[self.container addSubview:self.page]; //container gets another view added elsewhere
}
- (UIView *)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
return self.container;
}
- (void)scrollViewDidEndZooming:(UIScrollView *)scrollView withView:(UIView *)view atScale:(CGFloat)scale {
NSLog(#"size: %#", NSStringFromCGSize(scrollView.contentSize));
NSLog(#"offset: %#", NSStringFromCGPoint(scrollView.contentOffset));
//scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(scrollView.contentSize.width, self.contentSizeHeight * scale);
}

Scrolling, zooming UIScrollView and interface orientation rotation. How to use autoresize and more

This should be a pretty common thing to do, but I haven't been able to get it to work exactly right.
I have rectangular content. It normally fits in 320x361: portrait mode minus status bar minus ad minus tab bar.
I have put that content in a UIScrollView and enabled zooming. I also want interface rotation to work. The content will always be a tall rectangle, but when zoomed users might want to see more width at a time and less height.
What do I need to do in Interface Builder and code to get this done? How should I set my autoresizing on the different views? How do I set my contentSize and contentInsets?
I have tried a ton of different ways and nothing works exactly right. In various of my solutions, I've had problems with after some combination of zooming, interface rotation, and maybe scrolling, it's no longer possible to scroll to the entire content on the screen. Before you can see the edge of the content, the scroll view springs you back.
The way I'm doing it now is about 80% right. That is, out of 10 things it should do, it does 8 of them. The two things it does wrong are:
When zoomed in portrait mode, you can scroll past the edge of the content, and see a black background. That's not too much to complain about. At least you can see all the content. In landscape mode, zoomed or not, seeing the black background past the edge is normal, since the content doesn't have enough width to fill the screen at 1:1 zoom level (the minimum).
I am still getting content stuck off the edge when it runs on a test device running iOS 3.0, but it works on mine running 4.x. -- Actually that was with the previous solution. My tester hasn't tried the latest solution.
Here is the solution I'm currently using. To summarize, I have made the scroll view as wide and tall as it needs to be for either orientation, since I've found resizing it either manually or automatically adds complexity and is fragile.
View hierarchy:
view
scrollView
scrollableArea
content
ad
view is 320x411 and has all the autoresizing options on, so conforms to screen shape
scrollView is 480 x 361, starts at origin -80,0, and locks to top only and disables stretching
scrollableArea is 480 x 361 and locks to left and top. Since scrollView disables stretching, the autoresizing masks for its subviews don't matter, but I tell you anyway.
content is 320x361, starts at origin 80,0, and locks to top
I am setting scrollView.contentSize to 480x361.
shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation supports all orientations except portrait upside down.
In didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation, I am setting a bottom content inset of 160 if the orientation is landscape, resetting to 0 if not. I am setting left and right indicator insets of 80 each if the orientation is portrait, resetting if not.
scrollView.minimumZoomScale = 1.0
scrollView.maximumZoomScale = 2.0
viewForZoomingInScrollView returns scrollableArea
// in IB it would be all options activated
scrollView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
scrollView.contentSize = content.frame.size; // or bounds, try both
what do you mean with scrollableArea?
your minZoomScale is set to 1.0 thats fine for portrait mode but not for landscape. Because in landscape your height is smaller than in portrait you need to have a value smaller than 1.0. For me I use this implementation and call it every time, the frame of the scrollView did change:
- (void)setMaxMinZoomScalesForCurrentBounds {
CGSize boundsSize = self.bounds.size; // self is a UIScrollView here
CGSize contentSize = content.bounds.size;
CGFloat xScale = boundsSize.width / contentSize.width;
CGFloat yScale = boundsSize.height / contentSize.height;
CGFloat minScale = MIN(xScale, yScale);
if (self.zoomScale < minScale) {
[self setZoomScale:minScale animated:NO];
}
if (minScale<self.maximumZoomScale) self.minimumZoomScale = minScale;
//[self setZoomScale:minScale animated:YES];
}
- (void)setFrame:(CGRect)rect { // again, this class is a UIScrollView
[super setFrame:rect];
[self setMaxMinZoomScalesForCurrentBounds];
}
I don't think I understood the entire problem from your post, but here's an answer for what I did understand.
As far as I know (and worked with UIScrollView), the content inside a UIScrollView is not automatically autoresized along with the UIScrollView.
Consider the UIScrollView as a window/portal to another universe where your content is. When autoresizing the UIScrollView, you are only changing the shape/size of the viewing window... not the size of the content in the other universe.
However, if needed you can intercept the rotation event and manually change your content too (with animation so that it looks good).
For a correct autoresize, you should change the contentSize for the scrollView (so that it knows the size of your universe) but also change the size of UIView. I think this is why you were able to scroll and get that black content. Maybe you just updated the contentSize, but now the actuall content views.
Personally, I haven't encountered any case that required to resize the content along with the UIScrollView, but I hope this will get you started in the right direction.
If I understand correctly is that you want a scrollview with an image on it. It needs to be fullscreen to start with and you need to be able to zoom in. On top of that you want it to be able to rotate according to orientation.
Well I've been prototyping with this in the past and if all of the above is correct the following code should work for you.
I left a bit of a white area for the bars/custombars.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//first inits and allocs
scrollView2 = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame];
imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"someImageName"]];
[scrollView2 addSubview:imageView];
[self drawContent]; //refreshing the content
[self.view addSubview:scrollView2];
}
-(void)drawContent
{
//this refreshes the screen to the right sizes and zoomscales.
[scrollView2 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[scrollView2 setCanCancelContentTouches:NO];
scrollView2.clipsToBounds = YES;
[scrollView2 setDelegate:self];
scrollView2.indicatorStyle = UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleWhite;
[scrollView2 setContentSize:CGSizeMake(imageView.frame.size.width, imageView.frame.size.height)];
[scrollView2 setScrollEnabled:YES];
float minZoomScale;
float zoomHeight = imageView.frame.size.height / scrollView2.frame.size.height;
float zoomWidth = imageView.frame.size.width / scrollView2.frame.size.width;
if(zoomWidth > zoomHeight)
{
minZoomScale = 1.0 / zoomWidth;
}
else
{
minZoomScale = 1.0 / zoomHeight;
}
[scrollView2 setMinimumZoomScale:minZoomScale];
[scrollView2 setMaximumZoomScale:7.5];
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
// Portrait
//the 88pxls is the white area that is left for the navbar etc.
self.scrollView2.frame = CGRectMake(0, 88, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height - 88);
[self drawContent];
}
else {
// Landscape
//the 88pxls is the white area that is left for the navbar etc.
self.scrollView2.frame = CGRectMake(0, 88, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height, self.view.frame.size.width);
[self drawContent];
}
return YES;
}
- (UIView *)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
return self.imageView;
}
I hope this will fix your troubles. If not leave a comment.
When you want to put a content (a UIView instance, let's call it theViewInstance ) in a UIScrollView and then scroll / zoom on theViewInstance , the way to do it is :
theViewInstance should be added as the subview of the UIScrollView
set a delegate to the UIScrollView instance and implement the selector to return the view that should be used for zooming / scrolling:
-(UIView*)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
return theViewInstance;
}
Set the contentSize of the UIScrollView to the frame of the theViewInstance by default:
scrollView.contentSize=theViewInstance.frame.size;
(Additionally, the accepted zoom levels can be set in the UIScrollView :)
scrollView.minimumZoomScale=1.0;
scrollView.maximumZoomScale=3.0;
This is the way a pinch to zoom is achieved on a UIImage : a UIImageView is added to a UIScrollView and in the UIScrollViewDelegate implementation, the UIImageView is returned (as described here for instance).
For the rotation support, this is done in the UIViewController whose UIView contains the UIScrollView we just talked about.

UIKit: UIScrollView automatically scrolling when a subview increases its width past the edge of the screen

In the context of the iPhone:
I have a UIScrollView containing a UIImage. When the user taps the screen inside the UIImage, a UITextField is added where the user touched. The user can edit this UITextField, and the text field will automatically resize itself based on whether text was added or deleted.
When the a UITextField being edited increases its width, the scrollview automatically scrolls to show the increased width.
The problem comes in because the automatic scrolling of the textfield doesn't respect the y-value of the screen
For example, say the user added a text field to the bottom of the image. When they go to edit that text field, the keyboard will show, hiding the text field. I have code in place to scroll the screen to show the text field. The problem comes in when the user enters so much text that that text field extends past the edge of the screen. When this happens, the screen scrolls horizontally to fit the wider text, but also vertically - the vertical scrolling ends up hiding the textfield, basically nullifying anything I did to show the text field.
Code to show the text field if it's hidden by the keyboard:
- (void)keyboardWasShown:(NSNotification*)notification
{
NSDictionary* info = [notification userInfo];
CGSize keyboardSize = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
self.offset = self.contentOffset;
CGRect frame = self.frame;
// self.activeField is the name of the field that is the current first responder - this just adds a little bit of padding
frame.size.height -= keyboardSize.height + (self.activeField.frame.size.height * 2);
if (!CGRectContainsPoint(frame, self.activeField.frame.origin)) {
CGPoint scrollPoint = CGPointMake(self.offset.x, self.activeField.frame.origin.y - keyboardSize.height + (activeField.frame.size.height * 2));
[self setContentOffset:scrollPoint animated:YES];
}
}
Here is the code to increase the size of the text field:
- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
NSString *newString = [textField.text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:string];
CGSize stringSize = [string sizeWithFont:textField.font];
CGSize newSize = [newString sizeWithFont:textField.font];
// Make textField wider if we're close to running up against it
if (newSize.width > (textField.frame.size.width - self.widthOffset)) {
CGRect textFieldFrame = textField.frame;
if (stringSize.width > self.widthOffset) {
textFieldFrame.size.width += stringSize.width;
}
textFieldFrame.size.width += self.widthOffset;
textField.frame = textFieldFrame;
}
// Shrink the textField if there is too much wasted space
if ((textField.frame.size.width - newSize.width) > self.widthOffset) {
CGRect textFieldFrame = textField.frame;
textFieldFrame.size.width = newSize.width + self.widthOffset;
textField.frame = textFieldFrame;
}
return YES;
}
The question is: How do I get the UIScrollView to respect the y-value of itself when automatically scrolling?
Basically setFrame of UIScrollView will readjust the scrollview offset, done by _adjustContentOffsetIfNecessary. As that method is private and not documented, there is very little we can guess on how the adjustment will happen.
There are two ways to stop the unnecessary scrolling or wrong offset being set:
1) reset the UIScrollView offset after applying setFrame. This you can do, if you are modifying the frame of UIScrollView intentionally based on some calculations.
CGPoint oldOffset = [scrollView contentOffset];
scrollView.frame = CGRectMake(newFrame);
[scrollView setContentOffset:oldOffset];
2) apply offset changes without animation. In your keyboardWasShown , change
[self setContentOffset:scrollPoint animated:YES]; to
[self setContentOffset:scrollPoint animated:NO];
Reason: when more than one offset is applied with animation on, the result offset is ambiguous. Here the internal method(_adjustContentOffsetIfNecessary) applies an offset change and the other one is done by your code. You can notice this if you try to log all the offsets being applied in the UIScrollView delegate method:
-(void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
NSLog(#" offset: %#", NSStringFromCGPoint(scrollView.conentOffset))
}
Let me know if this helps.
One possible workaround could be to respond to the scrollViewDidScroll delegate method check to see if the UITextField is hidden again, then re-scroll if necessary. Seems like a bit of a hack, but it sounds like the UIScrollView auto scrolling behavior is what's getting in your way, and if there's no way to directly affect it, the only option is to work around it. There is also the disadvantage, however, that if you do this then it appears to scroll twice.
If the auto-scrolling behavior happens only when the UITextField expands beyond the edge of the screen, you could also move the field to stay completely visible if it looks like it's going to expand beyond the edge of the screen.
Instead of changing the content offset, change the scroll view's display frame.
- (void)keyboardWill:(NSNotification*)notification
{
CGSize keyboardSize = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue].size;
// Update the scroll view's frame to the region not covered by the keyboard.
self.frame = CGRectMake(self.fullSizedFrame.origin.x,
self.fullSizedFrame.origin.y,
self.fullSizedFrame.size.width,
self.fullSizedFrame.size.height - keyboardSize.height);
}
- (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification*)notification
{
// Set the frame back to the original frame before the keyboard was shown.
self.frame = self.fullSizedFrame;
}
If you don't allow the user to change screen orientation, then fullSizedFrame could be set to the original frame of the view when it is first displayed. If changes in orientation are allowed, you'll need to calculate the appropriate value for fullSizedFrame based on the orientation.

Making UIScrollView to both scroll and zoom

I am having some troubles making my UIScrollView to exhibit both scrolling and zooming. My class (which sub-classes UIScrollView) has a UIView as a sub-view, and in this sub-view I draw on a CALayer. As soon as the app launches, I can scroll the view, but as soon as I zoom using the pinch gesture, the scrolling feature stops working, and only the zoom works. My code:
bpmGraphView = [[UIView alloc] init];
//--- configure the scroll-view and add the graph-view as a subview
[self setZoomScale:1.0];
[self setContentSize:CGSizeMake(1000.0, 169.0)];
[self setMultipleTouchEnabled:YES];
[self setScrollEnabled:YES];
self.maximumZoomScale = 20.0;
self.minimumZoomScale = 0.05;
self.clipsToBounds = YES;
self.delegate = self; //--- set the scroll-view delegate to self
[self addSubview:bpmGraphView];
And the delegate method:
- (UIView *)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
return [self bpmGraphView];
}
Any ideas?
EDIT
Some dimensions: My UIScrollView is 320x169 and it is positioned 7 pixels to the right of the left edge of the screen. The (scrollable) UIView inside it should have the same height, but start 30 pixels to the left of the UIScrollView, and end somewhere far to the right - 1000 is just a test number. The sublayer I add to UIView should have the same size and position as it's superview.
I will init the UIView with the proper frame and report any changes in the behavior of the app.
at a first look i just notice a big ContentSize width and a small height... are you sure you need it to be 1000 x (just) 169?
And which are the dimensions of bpmGraphView?
And why don't you init bpmGraphView with a dimension? It's a UIView, you should init it giving it a frame, with initWithFrame:, not just init.
And also: give us the dimension of your UIScrollView, the only dimension you give us is the UIScrollView.contentSize...
Refer this apple sample code, it contains everything about scrollview

how to paginate UIScrollView with different page sizes?

I'm trying to do a horizontal scroll of UILabels with different widths.
I've already put all labels next to each other inside the UIScrollView, but since the page scrolling, bouncing and snapping is done in scrollview.frame.width "steps", i cannot set it to work as I'd wish.
Can this be done? Thank you so much :)
What happens if you set the size of your width property to be the width of the next label? Something like (in your scroll view delegate) :
- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate {
// Get the label that's going to slide into view
UIView *label = [self getCurrentLabel];
// Get it's width
float width = [label frame].size.width;
// Set our size
CGRect frame = [scrollView frame];
frame.size.width = width;
[scrollView setFrame:frame];
}
PS I've not tried this so it might just fail horribly!

UIScrollView- How far is it scrolled?

I'm using an UIScrollView and I have an image that indicates to the user that there is more content that they can scroll through vertically. I would like this image to be hidden when the scrollview is all the way at the bottom. Is there a way to do this? Would I have to subclass UIScrollView and make my own?
your scroll view's delegate should repsond to scrollViewDidEndScrollingAnimation: and use that to check where you are
- (void)scrollViewDidEndScrollingAnimation:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
// Get some details about the view
CGSize size = [scrollView frame].size;
CGPoint offset = [scrollView contentOffset];
CGSize contentSize = [scrollView contentSize];
// Are we at the bottom?
if (-offset.y + size.height <= contentSize.height)
NSLog(#"bottom");
else
NSLog(#"not bottom");
}
NB The if statement was done in my head so it might be the wrong way round ;)
