Preview rounded image in iphone

Question

Hi, can anyone tell me how can I create an image preview inside a customized cell with the aspect of the ones loaded in the mms'.

I've been trying to do it by changing values in IB and I haven't been able to.

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

will creating an image in an image editor and then setting it as the cell's background not work?

Answer 2

If your image is in an image view and you're targeting OS 3.0+, you can set imageView.layer.cornerRadius.

Answer 3

Sure. Add the QuartzCore framework to your project, then:

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
// ...
cell.imageView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
cell.imageView.layer.cornerRadius = 4;

Note that the cornerRadius property is only available in OS 3.0 and later; if you're supporting an older version (which you probably don't have to be), you'll need to do some Core Graphics work.

Answer 4

Hi. Thanks for the three answers.

Doing

cell3.imageView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
cell3.imageView.layer.cornerRadius = 16;
cell3.imageView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor;
cell3.imageView.layer.borderWidth = 1.0; 

I was able to do part of what I want. However, I still can't put that "glow" look on the image. Does anybody now which property should I control?

Thanks a lot (and thanks again).

Answer 5

I"m targeting 3.1.3 and setting cell.imageView.layer.masksToBounds isn't working at all for me.

Any ideas? I put it in - tableView: cellForRowAtIndexPath: right after the cell is created (but before it is returned, obviously).

It's still drawing my image over the corners, not getting rounded corners in my custom cell.
