stupid iPhone
-
So, the iPhone has a control called a UIScrollView. It is nice, I give it a view ( such as an image ) and I get scrolling/panning for free. But, it seems I cannot set the zoom or scroll position in code. So, if I zoom and then go to another image, the image starts zoomed. If I try to get around this in code, the best I can do, if my initial zoom range is 1 to 4, and I am zoomed to 3, I make my range from 3-12 and I draw the image scaled to that factor. If I try to do this with a text control, the text goes all blurry. It's a real mess. Why would you write a control and not let the programmer set it's state ?

*grin* well, I wrote my own, and it worked OK, but it wasn't as sexy, and I prefer to use the standard controls, so the behaviour is exactly as people expect. But yeah, I got less than I paid for with this phone, I tell you.

This is the iPhone SDK, you probably just need to set the IsSexy property to 'true' ... :rolleyes:

It's called a scrollview not a zoomview. :rolleyes: ;P

I looked up UIScrollView on google and noticed that people mention a delegate class. In Cocoa a lot of the classes have delegates that allow you to customize the way the control works. Have you checked this out? It might have methods that you can implement to do what you want. //edit UIScrollViewDelegate protocol - that's *possibly* what you want to look at. Maybe, just guessing... Found this too: http://halmueller.wordpress.com/2008/10/08/a-very-simple-uiscrollview-demo/[^] Is this at all similar to what you're referring to?

Delete it and create another instance each time you want to change the image? The state might be built up from a series of transformations like you would do in a 3D application. That might make setting the state a bit more challenging.

Yeah, the delegate tells me what I am zoomed to. It doesn't let me set anything tho. I will look at this sample, the way that it makes the images crisp again may be what I need for my label, excepting that I'm not sure if I can use CATiledLayer in my code....

Yeah, that is a possible solution, but I'm nervous about doing it that way.

OT: What are you guys doing about automated testing for your iPhone apps? Unit testing and coverage is easy enough but we are struggling to find an acceptance testing solution. My current, and awful, idea is to use Automator to simulate "clicks" in the iPhone simulator, take screenshots and compare against baseline screenshots... (I'll ask some co-workers about UIScrollView when I get in to work, they know more than I do.)
cheers, Paul M. Watson.

Our app is simple enough that we won't do much more than do some testing ourselves and run with that. We don't have any other resources...

Fair enough. If you do come across some kind of acceptance test framework please drop me a line. Our testing department is grumbling :)
