viewForZoomingInScrollView or pinchGesture?

[kmt]

Hi Forum,

I had the idea that I would make a class of ZoomView that would hold a .xib file containing buttons, text, images etc... that I want to scroll and zoom on. In doing some test code, I find very erratic behavior from viewForZoomingInScrollView: in the code below. It jumps, runs around the page and then when I let go, will no longer scroll.

This is a 'Blank' application and in the AppDelegate file for testing right now:

AppDelegate.h

@class ZoomView; // custom class with .xib file

@interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate, UIScrollViewDelegate> {
    UIView *innerview;
    ZoomView *zoomView;
}

@property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;

@end

AppDelegate.m

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
    
    
    innerview = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    
    zoomView = [[ZoomView alloc] initWithNibName:@"ZoomView" bundle:nil];
    [innerview addSubview:zoomView.view];
    
    CGRect aframe = CGRectMake(0, 100, 320, 200);
    UIScrollView *scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:aframe];
    scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(600, 400);
    scrollView.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
    scrollView.maximumZoomScale = 2;
    scrollView.minimumZoomScale = 0.25;
    scrollView.scrollEnabled = YES;
    scrollView.scrollsToTop = NO;
    scrollView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
    scrollView.delegate = self;
    [scrollView addSubview:innerview];
    [self.window addSubview:scrollView];
    
    
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

- (UIView *)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
    // NSLog(@"viewForZoomingInScrollView:");
    return innerview;
}

Should I be using a pinchGestureRecognizer instead? I just thought that this would be easier.

Does anyone have a good tutorial on the pinchGestureRecognizer for 4.2? I see in the objects > Gesture Recognizers that you can drag one of these onto your .xib file but, no idea how to hook it up from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
