This is a class designed to show a UIImage and blur & shrink the background. Similar to the Facebook app.
MXLMediaView uses UIKit Dynamics for the gravity effect so is only compatible with iOS 7 or newer.
The only externa dependency is on Apple's UIImage+ImageEffects, which is included in this repo.
The process of showing an image in your app is dead simple. First import the class:
#import "MXLMediaView.h"And then:
-(void)pushShowImageButton:(id)sender {
MXLMediaView *mediaView = [[MXLMediaView alloc] init];
[mediaView setDelegate:self];
[mediaView showImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"daft_punk@2x.jpg"] inParentView:self.view completion:^{
NSLog(@"Done showing MXLMediaView");
}];
}or to show a video...
-(void)pushShowVideoButton:(id)sender {
MXLMediaView *mediaView = [[MXLMediaView alloc] init];
[mediaView setDelegate:self];
// The best video on the Internet.
NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://website.com/video.mp4"];
[mediaView showVideoWithURL:videoURL inParentView:self.navigationController.view completion:^{
NSLog(@"Complete");
}];
}Delegate methods:
-(void)mediaView:(MXLMediaView *)mediaView didReceiveLongPressGesture:(id)gesture {
NSLog(@"MXLMediaViewDelgate: Long pressed received");
}
-(void)mediaViewWillDismiss:(MXLMediaView *)mediaView {
NSLog(@"MXLMediaViewDelgate: Will dismiss");
}
-(void)mediaViewDidDismiss:(MXLMediaView *)mediaView {
NSLog(@"MXLMediaViewDelgate: Did dismiss");
