MXLMediaView 1.1.0

This is a class designed to show a UIImage and blur & shrink the background. Similar to the Facebook app.

Compatibility

MXLMediaView uses UIKit Dynamics for the gravity effect so is only compatible with iOS 7 right now.

Usage

The only externa dependency is on Apple' UIImage+ImageEffects, which is included in this repo.

The process of showing an image in your app is dead simple. First import the class:

#import "MXLMediaView.h"

And then:

-(void)pushShowImageButton:(id)sender {
    MXLMediaView *mediaView = [[MXLMediaView alloc] init];
    [mediaView setDelegate:self];

    [mediaView showImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"[email protected]"] inParentView:self.view completion:^{
      NSLog(@"Done showing MXLMediaView");
    }];
}

or to show a video...

-(void)pushShowVideoButton:(id)sender {
    MXLMediaView *mediaView = [[MXLMediaView alloc] init];
    [mediaView setDelegate:self];

    // The best video on the Internet.
    NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://website.com/video.mp4"];

    [mediaView showVideoWithURL:videoURL inParentView:self.navigationController.view completion:^{
        NSLog(@"Complete");
    }];
}

Delegate methods:

-(void)mediaView:(MXLMediaView *)mediaView didReceiveLongPressGesture:(id)gesture {
    NSLog(@"MXLMediaViewDelgate: Long pressed received");
}

-(void)mediaViewWillDismiss:(MXLMediaView *)mediaView {
    NSLog(@"MXLMediaViewDelgate: Will dismiss");
}

-(void)mediaViewDidDismiss:(MXLMediaView *)mediaView {
    NSLog(@"MXLMediaViewDelgate: Did dismiss");
}
