Taking a screenShot of view inside a cell in ios - ios

Question

I am trying to take a screen shot of view inside a cell of UITableView but with attached code I can able only to take a screenshot of cell bounds. The problem is that by UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size,YES,0.0f). I can only make screenshot of rect size and cannot control origin of rect and
rect = [cell bounds]. so please suggest me some idea.
{
UITableViewCell* cell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:path];
__block CGRect rect = [cell bounds];
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size,YES,0.0f);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
[cell.layer renderInContext:context];
UIImage *capturedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
}

Answer 1

Take the screenShot as a normal screenShot and then crop it
-(UIImage *)cropImage:(UIImage *)image rect:(CGRect)cropRect
{
CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([image CGImage], cropRect);
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef];
CGImageRelease(imageRef);
return img;
}
Use like this:
UIImage *img = [self cropImage:viewImage rect:CGRectMake(150,150,100,100)];
To get the frame of a particular tableView Cell. Use this:
CGRect myRect = [tableView rectForRowAtIndexPath:0];//example 0,1,indexPath
Hope this helps. Refer to this link link2

- (UIImage *) screenshot {
CGSize size = CGSizeMake(self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, NO, [UIScreen mainScreen].scale);
CGRect rec = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height); //set the frame
[self.view drawViewHierarchyInRect:rec afterScreenUpdates:YES];
image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return image;
}
