iOS: ImageView filled with a picture - ios

Question

I have a table that contains the path to the picture, saved on user's library. Then, I pass this path to a View that contains just a imageView. I want to fills this ImageView with the picture. Like WhatsApp (when you click on a profile's picture). But, my picture it's always cropped or distorted. I tryed different ways to do this, but I didn't find the best way:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;
UIImage *picture = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile: self.picturePath]; //I passed this path from the previous View
UIImageView* imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:picture];
CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, screenRect.size.width, screenRect.size.height);
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
[self.view addSubview:imageView];
}
Original (I want something like it)
My app

Answer 1

If your image is cut , the reason is you are using a higher resolution image in a smaller container and instructed your imageview to fill , using this line imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
Change it to imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;

I think #whitewolf09 is right and his method will solve your problem. But i suggest you to look into MGImageUtilities that will be very useful for different cases where you can crop images maintaining aspect ratio to fit inside your image view's frame.
Just #import "UIImage+ProportionalFill.h"
UIImage *image = [[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:filePath] imageScaledToFitSize:imageView.frame.size];
That's the very useful category for image resizing and may help you in future.

I think the reason it is being clipped is that you are creating the image view with a picture THEN setting the frame and probably the picture is bigger than the frame so it is clipping it. Also try changing the aspect to: 'UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit' Try this:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;
UIImage *picture = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:self.picturePath]; //I passed this path from the previous View
UIImageView* imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, screenRect.size.width, screenRect.size.height);];
CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
imageView.image = picture;
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeCenter;
[self.view addSubview:imageView];
}
