For some reason, I have searched high and low, and cannot find the exact image sizes that I need to supply for a background image for both the 38mm
and 42mm
sizes in Watchkit
. Currently I am stretching a smaller image using "scale to fill".
I don't want it stretched, so I am looking for real pixel sizes.
Here is the code I use to get the size for the background image in my WKInterfaceController
. My app has a page control, you you probably don't want the extra -14 at the end.
-(CGSize)backgroundSize
{
CGRect contentFrame = self.contentFrame;
CGSize size = contentFrame.size;
CGFloat contentScale = 2.0;
size.width *= contentScale;
size.height *= contentScale;
//I lined up the generated image with one in the simulator until
//they perfectly matched. I did this on both 38 and 42 mm.
//I am not sure why they all came out to be off 4.
//There is an offset of 10 in IB and I am not sure I need this
//to be 4 to match perfect.
size.height -= 4;
//it looks like there is 2 pixels around the edge
size.width -= 4;
//Using page mode we need to take off an additional 14 pixels for the page dots at the bottom
size.height -= 14;
return size;
}
