Hiya,
I figured out a solution!
Take a snapshot of the webview, add it to a UIImageView and resize that insted!
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(webView.bounds.size);
[webView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
UIImageView * imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(webView.bounds.x, webView.bounds.y, webView.frame.size.width, webView.size.height)];
imageView.image = viewImage;
[self addSubview:imageView];
[imageView release];
webView.hidden = YES;
Seems to work fine!
One point to note.. if you want to do this as soon as the WebView has loaded, you need to defer the action by some period (I chose a 10th of a second!)
Like so:
-(void)deferLoading
{
webViewHasActuallyLoaded = YES;
[self setNeedsLayout];
}
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 1.0/10.0 target:self selector:@selector(deferLoading) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
}
Cheers for suggestions abovee!
Nick.
