Zooming UIImageView inside UIScrollView with autolayout

Question

I have a UIImageView embedded inside a UIScrollView, prior to iOS 6 and autolayout I used the following snippet inside the controller\'s viedDidLoad method to display a scro

Answer 1

The best solution was proposed by Zsolt in the comments:

http://github.com/evgenyneu/ios-imagescroll check this out. Works perfectly for me.

The solution proposed in this repository is to adjust the minimum and current zoom level before displaying the image:

@interface MyViewController () <UIScrollViewDelegate>
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *imageView;
@end


@implementation MyViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
  [super viewDidLoad];
  self.scrollView.delegate = self;

  [self initZoom];
}
- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation
{
  [self initZoom];
}

// Zoom to show as much image as possible
- (void) initZoom {
  float minZoom = MIN(self.view.bounds.size.width / self.imageView.image.size.width,
                      self.view.bounds.size.height / self.imageView.image.size.height);
  if (minZoom > 1) return;

  self.scrollView.minimumZoomScale = minZoom;

  self.scrollView.zoomScale = minZoom;
}

- (UIView*)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
  return self.imageView;
}

However sample conatins issue with zooming out. Image is not getting centered. This can be easily fixed by using the custom scroll view class with the following code in it:

@interface MyScrollView : UIScrollView
@end

@implementation MyScrollView

-(void)layoutSubviews
{
  [super layoutSubviews];
  UIView* v = [self.delegate viewForZoomingInScrollView:self];
  CGFloat svw = self.bounds.size.width;
  CGFloat svh = self.bounds.size.height;
  CGFloat vw = v.frame.size.width;
  CGFloat vh = v.frame.size.height;
  CGRect f = v.frame;
  if (vw < svw)
    f.origin.x = (svw - vw) / 2.0;
  else
    f.origin.x = 0;
  if (vh < svh)
    f.origin.y = (svh - vh) / 2.0;
  else
    f.origin.y = 0;
  v.frame = f;
}

@end

I also agree with Zsolt's suggestion and link.

But I update the width/height constraints to allow it to handle any size image:

- (void) initZoom
{
  for (NSLayoutConstraint *constraint in self.photoImageView.constraints)
  {
    if (constraint.firstAttribute == NSLayoutAttributeWidth)
      constraint.constant = self.photoImageView.image.size.width;
    else if (constraint.firstAttribute == NSLayoutAttributeHeight)
      constraint.constant = self.photoImageView.image.size.height;
  }

  float minZoom = MIN(self.scrollView.bounds.size.width / self.photoImageView.image.size.width,
                      self.scrollView.bounds.size.height / self.photoImageView.image.size.height);
  if (minZoom > 1) return;

  self.scrollView.minimumZoomScale = minZoom;

  self.scrollView.zoomScale = minZoom;
}

Solved my problem using the following code sample. The github repository corresponds to the book Programming iOS by Matt Neuburg.
