Question

I’m dynamically loading images from a web service. The images will be loaded (with [UIImage imageWithData:data];) and be placed in a in an UIImageView in my custom UITableViewCell using the setImage message

. I gave the imageView a width and height of 27 by 19 in the interface builder and told him to “Aspect fit” (tried all the others too btw), but the image doesn’t do that. It just scales (in aspect, I think) to fill the view cell.

I tried a lot of things, like resizing the image (does the job, but I can count the pixels on my retina display), resizing the UIImageView… But I just don’t get is… Someone got an idea what I’m doing wrong?

The code that changes the cell:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    static NSString *MyIdentifier = @"MyIdentifier";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"NewsTableViewCell" owner:self options:nil];
        cell = self.tableCell;
        self.tableCell = nil;
    }

    viArticle *article = [self.viData.articles objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    UILabel *label;

    label = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:1];
    label.text = article.title;

    label = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:2];
    label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", article.time, article.type];

    if (article.image != nil) {
        UIImageView *imageView;
        imageView = (UIImageView *)[cell viewWithTag:0];
        [imageView setImage:article.image];

    }

    return cell;
}

This is the view:

I just posted a “solution” earlier today, but that seem to work, but was a wrong assumption. After asking on IRC I found the real solution. I was using the tag 0, that one shouldn’t be used. Changing it to an higher value really solved my problem. Sometimes it can be thát easy. 🙂

Thanks y’all.
