I have a demo where I need to prove that images can be copied and pasted inside an iPhone simulator.
What apps, or which types of elements can be used which will allow me to paste a copied image in the simulator.
Note, I know how to copy images in the simulator, I just don't have SMS or Whatsapp to paste them into as I would on an iPhone.
You can create simple application with a UIImageView inside the ViewController and just override the paste function of the UIViewController. In my case, I added a tap gesture to my UIImageView to display the context menu. And when the paste function is called, I get the copied image from the UIPasteBoard.
class ViewController : UIViewController
{
@IBOutlet weak var imgView : UIImageView!
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
imgView.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self,action:#selector(HomeViewController.showContextMenu(_:))))
}
override func paste(sender: AnyObject?)
{
imgView.image = UIPasteboard.generalPasteboard().image
}
override func canBecomeFirstResponder() -> Bool
{
return true
}
func showContextMenu(gesture: UITapGestureRecognizer)
{
if let sender = gesture.view
{
let menu = UIMenuController.sharedMenuController()
menu.setTargetRect(sender.frame, inView: self.view)
menu.setMenuVisible(true, animated: true)
becomeFirstResponder()
}
}
}
You can use the Files app. Open it, go Browse -> On My iPhone, then long press (click) the blank area to summon the pasteboard menu.
