iOS Memory spikes on CollectionView [high resolution] images



I have a CollectionView with cells having UIImageView. Some images in the list have really high resolution of 3000 x 2000 upwards. I'm using AlamofireImage Library to show and cache images but it still has huge spikes. I tried doing


let filter = AspectScaledToFillSizeFilter(size: imageView.frame.size)
imageView.af_setImage(withURL: url, filter: filter)



This didn't have much of a change.



Is there a better way to resize/downgrade resolution on downloading an image but before displaying it as iOS memory spikes are more because of resolution than actually the image file size.





Please try and use auto release pool around the code block. Let me know if it works for you.

@iChris I tried that but it didn't help. Still getting 1 second memory spikes till 300-400 MB.

Swift 4.1



This is how I resize my images. You could process them before displaying.


// Resize to ~1.5Kx2K resoultion and compress to <200KB (JPEG 0.2)
private func resizePhoto(_ originalPhoto: UIImage) -> UIImage?
var size: CGSize
let scale = UIScreen.main.scale
if originalPhoto.size.width > originalPhoto.size.height // Landscape
size = CGSize(width: 2016/scale, height: 1512/scale)
else // Portrait
size = CGSize(width: 1512/scale, height: 2016/scale)

UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0.0)
originalPhoto.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height))
let resizedPhoto = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
let scaledPhotoData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(resizedPhoto!, 0.2)
//print(">>> Resized data size: (scaledPhotoData!.count)")
return UIImage(data: scaledPhotoData)





1. Wouldn't a UIImage extension been better ? 2. Any idea how much ms this would take process an image ? 3. Wouldn't this just resize all to 1.5Kx2K ?

HI @AkashPopat. Adding this to an extension is a good idea, and I could also pass the desired resolution as a param as well. In this case, I wanted to limit my image size to 1.5K to 2K pixels and the overall file size to less than 200Kbytes (they all were taken with the back side camera). Besides reducing the resolution, the compression factor (0.2) also helps reducing the file size. Re: the time to process, it is really fast. No more than a few milliseconds, and highly convenient considering the upload time of a full resolution image.

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Dynamically update html content plain JS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
