How to Create a Simple Uiscrollview in Xcode

Finally getting acquainted with iPhone's xcode. Now I'll build a simple window base application to demo the UIScrollView features.

1.) Create a new window base application, named it MyScroll. It should create 2 files: a.) MyScrollAppDelegate.h and b.) MyScrollAppDelegate.m

2.) I'll explain the rest in code (Note I'm using UIImageView as the content of the UIScrollView):

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface MyScrollAppDelegate : NSObject  { //notice that we implement UIScrollViewDelegate, this is needed
    UIWindow *window;
 UIScrollView *scrollView; //declare a scrollview
 UIImageView *imageView; //the object which we will add to scrollview
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;

@end

MyScrollAppDelegate.m

#import "MyScrollAppDelegate.h"

@implementation MyScrollAppDelegate

@synthesize window;

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application { 
 //initialize the scroll view
 scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].applicationFrame];
 scrollView.bouncesZoom = YES;
 scrollView.backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
 scrollView.delegate = self;
 
 //create the image, 
 //note there should be an image in your Resources folder named edward.jpg
 UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"2.jpg"];
 //we need to create a framework the ui image view
 CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height);
 //initialize the ui image view
 imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
 imageView.image = image;
 
 //set the content size of the scroll view
 //for more information please consult the UIScrollView's documentation
 scrollView.contentSize = imageView.frame.size;
 
 //set the zooming properties of the scroll view
 scrollView.minimumZoomScale = scrollView.frame.size.width / image.size.width;
 scrollView.maximumZoomScale = 2.0;
 
 //add the image view to the scroll view
 [scrollView addSubview:imageView];
 [image release];
 
 //add the scroll view to our main window
 [window addSubview:scrollView];
    // Override point for customization after application launch
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
}

//we zoom the image view
- (UIView *)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
 return imageView;
}

- (void)dealloc {
    [window release];
    [super dealloc];
}

@end
