Mobile App Dev 2021W: Tutorial 4

This tutorial is still in development.

In this tutorial you will be playing with 1601picviewer-1, a simple image viewer in Swift. Note that this code has two embedded images in it, so it is a bit bigger than past ones.

Key Concepts

• Local assets
• GeometryReader
• Rotation
• Magnification & scaling

Questions & Tasks

1. Build and run the program. Select different images from the menu. Drag, rotate, scale, and tap on the images. What happens? (Note that you can do pinch and rotate operations in the simulator by holding down the option key and dragging the circles that appear.)
2. Add an image to the app's assets. Add that image to the menu so it can be selected like the others. What did you have to do?
3. If you remove the VStack on line 16, does that change the program's behavior? Why or why not?
4. Why are so many state variables declared in ContentView but used in ActiveImage? Why not keep them local to ActiveImage? Explain for each parameter.
5. Why is the moved variable needed? Why not always just set the position to the position variable?
6. What's the purpose of resetState()?
7. There can sometimes be some flickering when you attempt to rotate and magnify the image at the same time. Change the program so that when you single tap it switches between rotating or magnifying modes. Make double tap reset the image.
