Iphone – Resize images in UIWebView to viewport size

Here's what I created to hold the images that my app is currently displaying. Please note that the "Log" object in use here is my custom wrapper around the final Log class inside Android.

    private InputStream fetch(String urlString) throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
        DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpGet request = new HttpGet(urlString);
        HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
        return response.getEntity().getContent();
    }
}

Here is a tweak though not a good thing to do, and something should be handled by apple itself

As you've noticed that things workfine when WebView is initialized in portrait and then you turn it to landscape. So.. what you can do is always initialize your webview with portrait bounds, add a selector which calls back after 2~3 seconds and sets the frame of webView according to your requirement.

Now as the contents started loading when the frame size of your webview were according to portrait (say 320,460) so converting your webview to landscape will automatically adjust your web view if you have this line in your code

[webViewObjet_ setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight];

Below is the snippet of code

- (id) initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame])
    {
        webViewObjet_ = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 460)];
        .....
    }
}

- (void) webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
    .....       
    [self performSelector:@selector(chuss) withObject:nil afterDelay:3];
    // call the function chuss after 3 second
}

- (void) chuss
{
    webViewObjet_.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.frame.size.width, self.frame.size.height);
    [webViewObjet setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight];
}
