I have an imageView (say 100x100) that I want to fill with a (smaller) image (say 50x10) and I want the image to go at the top of the view, not at the middle of the view.
If I use
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
it fills the view with the image scaled at 100x20 (as expected) but in the middle of the view.
Like this:
+---------+
| |
|i m a g e| <---my image (scaled)
| |
+---------+ <---my UIImageView
If I set
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeTop | UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
I get this:
+---------+
| image | <---my image (not scaled)
| |
| |
+---------+
The image is not scaled and it stays at 50x10 in the middle of the imageView (as instructed by the UIViewContentModeTop, but it ignores UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit).
How do I get it to accept both? Like this:
+---------+
|i m a g e|
| |
| |
+---------+
This could be the worst solution but it works, You should set the frame of your image view first and then call this method.
-(void)adjustImageViewWithImageDimension:(CGRect)frame{
UIImageView *tempView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
tempView.image = self.image;
tempView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
tempView.clipsToBounds = false;
CGFloat oldAlpha = self.alpha;
self.alpha = 1;
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(tempView.bounds.size);
[tempView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *resultingImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
self.alpha = oldAlpha;
self.image = resultingImage;
self.contentMode = UIViewContentModeTop;
self.clipsToBounds = YES;
}
