Getting a screenshot of a UIScrollView, including offscreen parts

Question

I have a UIScrollView decendent that implements a takeScreenshot method that looks like this:

-(void)takeScreenshot {  
  CGRect contextRect  =          


        

Answer 1

SWIFT 3 version:

func snapshot() -> UIImage?
{      
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(scrollView.contentSize)

    let savedContentOffset = scrollView.contentOffset
    let savedFrame = scrollView.frame

    scrollView.contentOffset = CGPoint.zero
    scrollView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: scrollView.contentSize.width, height: scrollView.contentSize.height)

    scrollView.layer.render(in: UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!)
    let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()

    scrollView.contentOffset = savedContentOffset
    scrollView.frame = savedFrame

    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return image
}

This worked for me
