My code works for the most part.
In order if anyone having this problem, here is the solution in
Swift
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
var cell:ContactCellTableViewCell? = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("contactCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as? ContactCellTableViewCell
var contact : ContactStruct
image = searchResults[indexPath.row]
let newImage = resizeImage(image, toTheSize: CGSizeMake(70, 70))
var cellImageLayer: CALayer? = cell?.imageView.layer
cellImageLayer!.cornerRadius = 35
cellImageLayer!.masksToBounds = true
cell?.imageView.image = newImage
return cell!
}
As you might noticed the 35 hardcode is basically half of the image size which is 70 in here. And here is the resize function:
func resizeImage(image:UIImage, toTheSize size:CGSize)->UIImage{
var scale = CGFloat(max(size.width/image.size.width,
size.height/image.size.height))
var width:CGFloat = image.size.width * scale
var height:CGFloat = image.size.height * scale;
var rr:CGRect = CGRectMake( 0, 0, width, height);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0);
image.drawInRect(rr)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return newImage
}
Note: I am using a custom cell class as below:
import UIKit
class ContactCellTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
@IBOutlet weak var nameLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var contactImage: UIImageView!
@IBOutlet weak var phoneLabel: UILabel!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
}
override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
}
It really took me a while to figure this one out. The images become rounded after scrolling at first, but now using this code you are going to have the rounded images inside the cell from beginning. Hope it helped anyone.
