My nav_bar should show the logged_in user's picture on the right and clicking on it should open a Profile screen.
It works fine with a new user that has not uploaded a profile picture yet, since it's using a local placeholder image, but when Auth.current_user["image"] contains an URL pointing to the user's REMOTE profile image, it no longer works.
def on_load
image_view = UIImageView.alloc.initWithFrame(CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50))
image_view.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit
image_view.setImageWithURL(Auth.current_user["image"])
set_nav_bar_button :right,
image: Auth.current_user["image"].nil? ? image.resource("icon_user_50x50.png") : image_view,
action: :open_profile
end
When a remote image exists, this code does not work properly. It shows the image, but nothing happens when it is tapped / clicked.
If I exchange this line:
image: Auth.current_user["image"].nil? ? image.resource("icon_user_50x50.png") : image_view,
for this one:
image: Auth.current_user["image"].nil? ? image.resource("icon_user_50x50.png") : image.from_view(image_view),
tapping / clicking now works, but no image is shown.
Any help would be appreciated.
When using a custom UIImageView for a button in a nav_bar, the button loses click functionality. You can get it back by adding the following lines:
image_view.setUserInteractionEnabled(true)
image_view.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer.alloc.initWithTarget(self, action: :open_profile))
