SSUIViewMiniMe

A miniature replica of your UIView with an indicator of your location.

Overview

SSUIViewMiniMe takes your UIView and creates a small version of it with an indicator of your location on the original UIView.

The example shown in the GIF above is in the SSUIViewMiniMeDemo/ directory:

Features

The MiniMe UIView is responsive to touch. Dragging your finger on it will move the actual UIScrollView
The MiniMe UIView indicator will track the current movment in the UIScrollView
The MiniMe UIView will draw on it self any changes made in the UIScrollView

All those features are shown in the GIF above (might take a few seconds to load)

Requirements

iOS 5+ (Should work on 4 if you are not using a StoryBoard, not tested)

Screenshot (The GIF above will explain a lot more)

Why?

In one of my projects I was asked to create a simple UI for seats selection in a movie theater. With the iPhone screen relatively small I had to find a way to zoom in on a view and still let the user know about his current location. I ended up using something much simpler for the seat selection project and found a lot of other uses for SSUIViewMiniMe class.

Installation With CocoaPods

Edit your Podfile and add SSUIViewMiniMe:

pod 'SSUIViewMiniMe'

Manual Installation

Just drag SSUIViewMiniMe.h & m to your project.

How to use

import SSUIViewMiniMe.h to your project.

miniMeView = [[SSUIViewMiniMe alloc]initWithView:yourView withRatio:4]; // ratio is the size of the miniMe view you want to create. UIView size \ ratio = UIViewMiniMe size
[self.view addSubview:miniMeView];

That's it!

If you want to use the delegate methods (optional) you will also need to add

@interface ViewController () <SSUIViewMiniMeDelegate>
...
miniMeView.delegate = self;

SSUIViewMiniMeDelegate Protocols

- (void)enlargedView:(SSUIViewMiniMe *)enlargedView willBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView;

Tells the delegate when scrolling is about to start.

- (void)enlargedView:(SSUIViewMiniMe *)enlargedView didScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView;

Tells the delegate when the user scrolls the content view.

- (void)enlargedView:(SSUIViewMiniMe *)enlargedView didEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView;

Tells the delegate when dragging ended.

- (void)enlargedView:(SSUIViewMiniMe *)enlargedView willBeginDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView;

Tells the delegate that scrolling movement is starting to decelerate.

- (void)enlargedView:(SSUIViewMiniMe *)enlargedView didEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView;

Tells the delegate that the scroll view has ended decelerating the scrolling movement.
