Is there a standard methodolgy for scaling image buttons using one image size across multiple blackberry phone model screen resolutions ?
I'm resizing encoded iamges based on display width.
So to resize an image to a quarter length of the screen I do -
imageLength = Dislay.getWidth / 4;
Is there something better ?
Thanks
I'm not sure I understand what you need.
Do you want to scale an image? If so, take a look at scaleImage32(int, int) method. Also, you should use methods from the Fixed32 class to calculate image sizes.
If you only want to scale a button, maybe this answer will help you.

I have placed an image on a surface and I am trying to display the height and width of the image when I tap on it (having an idea to select and resize later).
I am converting the TransformableNode to an imageView and then using getHeight() and getWidth(). but is there a simple way provided by ARCOre?
Thanks in advance.
i have created a project like Google measure App where I am scaling the node placed and then getting its size. Here is the link: Object Measurement
So in my scenario, I have a square that is (for understanding's sake) 100x100 and need to display an image that is 300x800 inside of it.
What I want to do is be able to have the image scale just as it would with UIViewContentMode.ScaleAspectFill so that the width scales properly to 100.
However, after that, I would like to then "move" the image up to the top of the image instead of it putting it inside the imageView right in the center, basically what UIViewContentMode.Top does. However that doesn't scale it first.
Is there anyway to do this type of behavior with the built in tools? Anyway to add multiple contentModes?
I already had a helper function that I wrote that scaled an image to a specific size passed in, so I just wrote a function that calculated the scaled image that would fit into the smaller square I had similar to the size AspectFill would do, and then I wrote code that would crop it with the rectangle size I needed at (0,0).
I have an image of the UiPopOver
I want to make it bigger or smaller based on the text that i want to display in this. My plan is that i will adda text view inside the image view and scale it accordingly. I am facing difficulty in scaling the image to bigger or smaller.
For example if i know that the text that will fit in it have size of CGSize(80, 100), the how i can scale this image view to a specified size without pixelation.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
you can make the resizable image with the following insets (their positions marked by the colourful lines below), that will do the job for you:
you can find more information about how you can me a resizable image in the UIImage Class Reference, the related method's name is –resizableImageWithCapInsets:.
I’m new in iOS and trying to make simple app with hierarchy of viewcontrollers. In the last one I wanna display scrollable image (which can also be zoomed at least x1,5), containing some small black and white picture and a piece of text. Initially I planned to make vector image, convert it to .jpg and use UIScrollView for displaying. But I found out that .jpg ( approx. 150 KB) didn’t provide a good quality for displaying text. As I have to use a lot of images I don’t want to increase image size. What is worse I also want it look good on retina display.
Can you recommend a way how to display image, containing text, with enough quality?
I mean that I don’t want the user see the separate pixels of letters in the text. Just like when you read text in your e-mail in iOS. Image size should be as small as possible. Planning physical size of image – approx. 5 cm x 15 cm.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks
To get good edges you would need to use png not jpg, which will make the image sizes much larger. I have a better suggestion, more code but better solution.
The answer is to not put the text into the image, but to draw it over it in real time.
You would:
associate text at some coordinate in the image (say a CGRect) with the image
create a uiimageview subclass that in the drawRect routine, after calling super, draws the text using the NSString categories on UIKit (which let you draw into a context)
To get going on this please create a small one vc project and get the subclass working there, then back port it to your primary project.
I am working on a BlackBerry App that has a lot of ImageButtons, LabelFields and MessageBoxes. What appears to be perfect on one screen size, seems a mess on the other. For instance, Vertical Field Managers that are neatly aligned center with LabelFields, are left/right aligned on bigger screens. Images that cover the width of the screen appear too small on larger screens. Is there some mechanism to auto-align and dynamically change images with respect to the screen size. Any ideas and documents that can help in this regard?
Here are some tips for making screens that look good on almost all devices:
Use less images. If you have to use images, use atleast 3-4 for different screen sizes. for example if you need to have an image as the screen header, use images with widths 320px, 480px and 640px. Load image depending on the width of the screen.
Do not use pixel measurements. Use point measurements instead. Most of the devices are similar in terms of physical size, whereas they have huge difference in pixel density. Using this you can have a screen which will look exactly identical on curve (320x240), bold2 (480x360) and bold 4 (640x480). If you notice, they have the same aspect ratio and similar physical size.
Do not hardcode positions. Instead use FIELD_HCENTER and DRAW_HCENTER etc for fields.
Do not use fonts with fixed pixel height. Use fixed point height instead.
If using custom fields, make sure that they can automatically expand according to device and pixel density.
