Shrinking an image in iOS with Xamarin.iOS and C#
Images taken with the camera are rather large in the iPhone. How do you shrink them down? I need to shrink them because I am going to send them to a web service and I want to spend as little time as possible in the upload process. While I am not sure that this is the best code, it seems to be working for me. I want to put this out for sharing and if you have a suggestion on how to make it better, please let me know.
UIImage img = UIImage.FromFile (fileName);
var width = img.Size.Width;
var height = img.Size.Height;
var newWidth = defaultImageWidth;
var newHeigth = height * newWidth / width; // I always hope I get this scaling thing right. #crossedfingers
UIGraphics.BeginImageContext (new SizeF (newWidth, newHeigth));
img.Draw (new RectangleF (0, 0, newWidth, newHeigth));
img = UIGraphics.GetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphics.EndImageContext ();
