UIView provides for the "aspect fit" content mode. However, I've subclasses UIView and would like to draw a UIImage using drawInRect with an aspect fit. Is there any way for me to access that functionality without using a UIImageView?

I needed the same thing - in my case, to pick the dimension that fits once scaled, and then crop each end to fit the rest to the width. (I'm working in landscape, so might not have noticed any deficiencies in portrait mode.) Here's my code - it's part of a categeory on UIImage. Target size in my code is always set to the full screen size of the device.
@implementation UIImage (Extras)
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Scale and crop image
- (UIImage*)imageByScalingAndCroppingForSize:(CGSize)targetSize
{
UIImage *sourceImage = self;
UIImage *newImage = nil;
CGSize imageSize = sourceImage.size;
CGFloat width = imageSize.width;
CGFloat height = imageSize.height;
CGFloat targetWidth = targetSize.width;
CGFloat targetHeight = targetSize.height;
CGFloat scaleFactor = 0.0;
CGFloat scaledWidth = targetWidth;
CGFloat scaledHeight = targetHeight;
CGPoint thumbnailPoint = CGPointMake(0.0,0.0);
if (CGSizeEqualToSize(imageSize, targetSize) == NO)
{
CGFloat widthFactor = targetWidth / width;
CGFloat heightFactor = targetHeight / height;
if (widthFactor > heightFactor)
{
scaleFactor = widthFactor; // scale to fit height
}
else
{
scaleFactor = heightFactor; // scale to fit width
}
scaledWidth = width * scaleFactor;
scaledHeight = height * scaleFactor;
// center the image
if (widthFactor > heightFactor)
{
thumbnailPoint.y = (targetHeight - scaledHeight) * 0.5;
}
else
{
if (widthFactor < heightFactor)
{
thumbnailPoint.x = (targetWidth - scaledWidth) * 0.5;
}
}
}
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(targetSize); // this will crop
CGRect thumbnailRect = CGRectZero;
thumbnailRect.origin = thumbnailPoint;
thumbnailRect.size.width = scaledWidth;
thumbnailRect.size.height = scaledHeight;
[sourceImage drawInRect:thumbnailRect];
newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
if(newImage == nil)
{
NSLog(@"could not scale image");
}
//pop the context to get back to the default
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return newImage;
}
You will only need a
ScrollView
if the contents you have now do not fit in the iPhone screen. (If you are adding theScrollView
as the superview of the components just to make theTextField
scroll up when keyboard comes up, then it's not needed.)The standard way to prevent the
TextField
s from being covered by the keyboard is to move the view up/down whenever the keyboard is shown.
Here is some sample code:
#define kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD 80.0
-(void)keyboardWillShow {
// Animate the current view out of the way
if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:YES];
}
else if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:NO];
}
}
-(void)keyboardWillHide {
if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:YES];
}
else if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:NO];
}
}
-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)sender
{
if ([sender isEqual:mailTf])
{
//move the main view, so that the keyboard does not hide it.
if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:YES];
}
}
}
//method to move the view up/down whenever the keyboard is shown/dismissed
-(void)setViewMovedUp:(BOOL)movedUp
{
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3]; // if you want to slide up the view
CGRect rect = self.view.frame;
if (movedUp)
{
// 1. move the view's origin up so that the text field that will be hidden come above the keyboard
// 2. increase the size of the view so that the area behind the keyboard is covered up.
rect.origin.y -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
rect.size.height += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
}
else
{
// revert back to the normal state.
rect.origin.y += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
rect.size.height -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
}
self.view.frame = rect;
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
// register for keyboard notifications
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow)
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide)
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
object:nil];
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
// unregister for keyboard notifications while not visible.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
object:nil];
}

The math for that is a little bit hairy, but fortunately, here's a solution I prepared earlier:
The first function is equivalent to "scale to fill", the second (which calls the first) is equivalent to "aspect fit". These methods were written as a category on UIImage so to use them from within another class you'll need to tweak them by passing the image in as a second parameter (or just make a category on UIImage like I did).
