How to set the image clarity? - iphone

i am new i phone developer i am struggle with one problem i have use images in my app that images captured through web services . My problem is each images placed on each table cell that way i was compressed that image size in my cell size but image clarity was missing. please tell me how to set the image in cell with clarity.
i am very suffer this problem please give me any suggestion for me.
hi i am working with Twitter, i got problem with images, i have tweet view have UITableview, it contains all tweet with user photo, if i load those photos in each cell when i scroll the UITableview, it scrolling very very slowly please suggest me to reduce the memory size of photos and scroll the UITableView fast.
i heard the thumbnail can reduce the memory size, does it.(if not which method i have to choose and what thumbnail method do's) if so how to do that in this code (table view cell code)

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:identifier];

UIImageView *myImage = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(6,10,58,60)] ;
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[(Tweet*)[tweetArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] image_url]]; //here Tweet is other class and image_url is method in the Tweet class
NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];
[myImage setImage: [UIImage imageWithData:data]];
[cell.contentView addSubview:myImage];
[myImage release];
}
return cell;
}
Thanks in advance.

By using the Lazyloading concept you can make your tableview scroll fastly.
Just download this class for lazyloading.
It is very easy to impelement.
#import "UIImageView+WebCache.h" // Import this
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
------------------
------------------
[cell.imageView setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.domain.com/path/to/image.jpg"] placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"placeholder.png"]];
cell.textLabel.text = #"My Text";
return cell;
}
Then the picture clarity problem: Try to use the lower resolution images(50x50) like that

Caching UITableView Images after load asynchronous

I load content in a UITableView from a WS and I tried to load the images asynchronous.
Every time when I "move" the table the images are loading again.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"NewsCell";
NewsCell *cell = ......
NewsObject *obj = [self.dataSourceArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.labelTitle.text = obj.title;
cell.textViewNews.text = obj.summary;
cell.imgListIcon.image = nil;
dispatch_queue_t imageQ = dispatch_queue_create("imageQ", NULL);
dispatch_async(imageQ, ^{
NSData *imageData = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:obj.img]];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
cell.imgListIcon.image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
[cell setNeedsLayout];
[cell.spinner stopAnimating];
});
});
dispatch_release(imageQ);
return cell;
}
Can someone help me with some advice about this problem? Thank you!
Table view cells are reused every time they are shown/hidden. It allows not to create thousands of cells. So you need to store your loaded images. For example in dictionary with cell's index path as key and image as value. Then check if image for current cell is already loaded, just use it instead of loading again.

Scroll list of thumbnails

I need to allow my users to scroll through a list of thumbnails in the documents directory on an iPad application. When they tap on one of the thumbnails, I need to know which one was tapped (or have it call a method, which is basically the same thing.)
I know how to put the thumbnails in the documents directory, and how to read them from there. But I’m not sure which widget is best for displaying the content. Is it UITableView? CCScrollLayer? CCMenuAdvanced? Something else?
CCScrollLayer doesn't work as well as UIScrollView.
I use the view to CCdirector for add UIkit.
UIScrollView *scrollView = [UIScrollView alloc] init];
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] view] addSubview:scrollView];
or add UITableView.
Take all the paths for thumbnails in one array, lets call pathsArray
NSArray *pathsArray = [seld getPathsForAllImages];
Now implement UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate:
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [pathsArray count];
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
NSString *pathForImage = [pathsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:pathForImage];
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *pathForImage = [pathsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
I've had all kinds of problems with overlaying a UIScrollView on a cocos2d project. Even with all the suggested hacks, if a single frame takes too long in cocos2d, the UIScrollView just stops working right. I would suspect that would happen with a UITableView as well.
To solve my own problems, I created a custom ScrollNode class. It's really easy to use:
// create the scroll node
ScrollNode *scrollNode = [ScrollNode nodeWithSize:CGSizeMake(size.width, size.height)];
[self addChild:scrollNode];
// Generate some content for the scroll view
// add it directly to scrollView, or to the built in menu (scrollView.menu)
[scrollNode.menu addChild:yourMenuItem];
// Set the content rect to represent the scroll area
CGRect contentRect = [scrollNode calculateScrollViewContentRect];
[scrollNode setScrollViewContentRect:contentRect];

UIImageview in TableView

I have to display image in tableview,i got all images but it does not display. Here Array contains 3 images, these images came from server. when cell for row at indexpath call it display only 3rd image that is last image 1st and 2nd row will be blank but when it scroll my tableview from bottom to top than only 1st and 2nd image displayed.

self.imageicon.tag = indexPath.row;

}
return cell;
}
Please Help.
Thanks in Advance.
Please change your code -
[[AsyncImageLoader sharedLoader]cancelLoadingURL:self.imageicon.imageURL];
I'd suggest you to use this AsyncImageView. I've used it and it work wonders. To call this API:
ASyncImage *img_EventImag = alloc with frame;
NSURL *url = yourPhotoPath;
[img_EventImage loadImageFromURL:photoPath];
[self.view addSubView:img_EventImage]; // In your case you'll add in your TableViewCell.
It's same as using UIImageView. Easy and it does most of the things for you. AsyncImageView includes both a simple category on UIImageView for loading and displaying images asynchronously on iOS so that they do not lock up the UI, and a UIImageView subclass for more advanced features. AsyncImageView works with URLs so it can be used with either local or remote files.
Loaded/downloaded images are cached in memory and are automatically cleaned up in the event of a memory warning. The AsyncImageView operates independently of the UIImage cache, but by default any images located in the root of the application bundle will be stored in the UIImage cache instead, avoiding any duplication of cached images.
The library can also be used to load and cache images independently of a UIImageView as it provides direct access to the underlying loading and caching classes.
You create the object AsyncImageView instead of UIImageView
Are you refreshing the imageview or reloading the table row once you get the image ?
Also make sure you are refreshing the UI in main thread.

Proper way to add subview to UITableViewCell contentView

In my application i need to display multiple images in a UITableView,so i've already searched a lot in the web for the proper way to load large images to UITableViewCells,to be more clearly i'll divide the procedure that my app execute:
Download images asynchronous;
Save them to NSHomeDirectory();
=> Thins part is working perfectly.
The problem is,how to display the images in the UITableViewCell,i've already tried to add UIImageView's to the cell contentView but the scrolling performance were a bit affected,i've searched on Apple guides and i believe the correct way is adding UIImageView's to the cell and loading the images from NSHomeDirectory(),so:
What's the best way to customize a UITableViewCell and add the UIImageView's(302x302px) to it?
To get the best scroll performance, you must draw the content of the UITableViewCell yourself.
Loren Brichter, the author of the Tweetie app (now the official Twitter app), wrote a very famous blog post on this. Sadly, this blog post has been deleted.
This article may help you, though. It explains the fast scrolling, it has examples and it has a video to a presentation from Loren Brichter.
Basically, what you want to do is to subclass UITableViewCell and override the drawRect:method. To show an image, you would do something like the following:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
[myImage drawAtPoint:CGPointMake(10, 10)];
}
This way you avoid to layout a lot of subviews.
I have the same question.
I'm doing the following:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString* CustomCellIdentifier = #"CustomCellIdentifier";
CustomCell* cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CustomCellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[CustomCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CustomCellIdentifier];
}
// add subview to cell
if (cell.customView == NULL) {
cell.customView = [[CustomView alloc] initWithFrame:cell.frame];
[cell.contentView addSubview:cell.customView];
}
// bind cell data
return cell;
}
Firstly, you need to create a custom cells for UITableView & keep going through following points.
set height of each row to 302 pixels as
-(CGFloat) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return 302.0;
}
Use following code to create UIImageView at each cell of table
-(UITableViewCell*) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell=[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell"];
const NSInteger IMAGE_VIEW_TAG=1001;
UIImageView *imageView;
if(cell==nil)
{
cell=[[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"cell"] autorelease];
cell.accessoryType=UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
imageView =[[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 302, 302)] autorelease];
imageView.tag=IMAGE_VIEW_TAG;
imageView.contentMode=UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
[cell.contentView addSubview:imageView];
}
imageView=(UIImageView*)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:IMAGE_VIEW_TAG];
[imageView setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image.png"];
return cell;
}
set number of rows you want to display
-(NSInteger) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return 5;
}
dont forget to add TableView delegate and data source , UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDataSource

iphone Scrolling of tableview with custom cells is too slow

I have this problem when deploying my application on iphone, which wasn't detected on the simulator.
this the code of the cellforrow...
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tv cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSLog(#"beginning cellforRowAtIndexPath for section %d, and cell %d",[indexPath indexAtPosition:0],[indexPath indexAtPosition:1]);
static NSString *MyIdentifier = #"MyIdentifier";
NSString *fieldTitle;
NSString*fieldDescription;
[_stopWatch start];
[PersonalSection GetField:&fieldTitle AndValue:&fieldDescription UsingIndexPath:indexPath AndPersonalInformation:_personalInfo];
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"ViewContent" owner:self options:nil];
cell = tvCell;
self.tvCell=nil;
((UILabel*) [cell.contentView viewWithTag:1]).layer.cornerRadius=11;
((UILabel*) [cell.contentView viewWithTag:2]).layer.cornerRadius=11;
}
UILabel*mainLabel=(UILabel*) [cell.contentView viewWithTag:1];
mainLabel.text=fieldTitle;
//mainLabel.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.745 green:0.116 blue:0.176 alpha:1.0];
UILabel*detailLabel=(UILabel*)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:2];
detailLabel.text=fieldDescription;
[_stopWatch stop];
NSLog(#"---------End cellforRowAtIndexPath");
return cell;
}
the rest is for sections and it's like return 3 or 5 no real bottleneck there.
so i'm wondering what's slowing it so much.
now the data fetching "[PersonalSection GetField:&fieldTitle..." is rather fast, it takes on the iphone maximum 0.1 ms. The problem is somewhere else, i'm guessing there's a way for optimizing this code, and i'm wondering about the custom cell influence it's only a cell with label and textfield linked to this ViewController.
Any ideas.
When you create the cell you're setting the identifier to #"cell" but when you dequeue it you're looking for #"MyIdentifier". It looks like you're recreating the cell every time though this.
Ok, the main performance issue was rounding the corners of the subviews of the contentview.
using QuartzCore:
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
((UILabel*) [cell.contentView viewWithTag:1]).layer.cornerRadius=11;
I removed those and decreased the sizes of the controls to fit inside the cell of a sectioned table. and now they look round but the textfield and label are not.
this has fixed my scrolling performance noticeably.
Thank you all for your help.
