Extended Imageview

Currently Titanium.UI.ImageView doesn't support the contentMode property so your rendered image will everytime fit your ImageView. This module allows you to specify which behavior your ImageView must have and adds some extra features to improve the user experience.

Get it

Clone this repository or directly download the latest packaged module version here.

Now, follow these steps to install the packaged version of this module into your application.

Usage

You can easily use this module via Alloy or in a classic way.

Alloy

Here is how you can use the extended-imageview directly in alloy:

<Alloy>
    <Window>
        <View class="container">
            <ImageView module="av.imageview" />
        </View>
    </Window>
</Alloy>

and inside the related TSS you can do

"ImageView": {
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    image: "https://static.pexels.com/photos/27954/pexels-photo-27954.jpg",
}

Classic

You can instantiate an extended-imageview in this way:

require('av.imageview').createImageView({
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    image: "https://static.pexels.com/photos/27954/pexels-photo-27954.jpg",
});
