Detecting Zoom Level on iPhone



I'm using the UIImagePickerController to control the camera and overlay millimeter tick marks in preview for measuring closeup macro shots, and I'd like to be able to detect the current zoom level and scale it properly.





Is there any way to determine the current zoom level in camera preview?

  1. Unfortunately no, since the UIImagePickerController API doesn't give you access to the camera zoom level, nor to any subviews or other properties that might have access to that information.

    As Michael Dautermann points out, based on the answer to this question, you could use the cameraViewTransform property of UIImagePickerController to implement your own zoom by setting up the right CGAffineTransform and also the right pinch gesture to zoom in/out. Since you'd be controlling the zoom yourself, you'd always know the zoom level and be able to use it to adjust the tick marks.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
