How to implement double tap zoom using this code?

Great job, Man!

@umangbista Use a UITapGestureRecognizer. :)

@ValentinFesenko Thanks a lot man! :)

Hi, how can I scroll from 0, 0 position to particular points using above code?

Thanks works really great!!!
Here a swift version of your code:

extension UIScrollView {
    func zoom(toPoint zoomPoint : CGPoint, scale : CGFloat, animated : Bool) {
        var scale = CGFloat.minimum(scale, maximumZoomScale)
        scale = CGFloat.maximum(scale, self.minimumZoomScale)
        
        var translatedZoomPoint : CGPoint = .zero
        translatedZoomPoint.x = zoomPoint.x + contentOffset.x
        translatedZoomPoint.y = zoomPoint.y + contentOffset.y
        
        let zoomFactor = 1.0 / zoomScale
        
        translatedZoomPoint.x *= zoomFactor
        translatedZoomPoint.y *= zoomFactor
        
        var destinationRect : CGRect = .zero
        destinationRect.size.width = frame.width / scale
        destinationRect.size.height = frame.height / scale
        destinationRect.origin.x = translatedZoomPoint.x - destinationRect.width * 0.5
        destinationRect.origin.y = translatedZoomPoint.y - destinationRect.height * 0.5
        
        if animated {
            UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.55, delay: 0.0, usingSpringWithDamping: 1.0, initialSpringVelocity: 0.6, options: [.allowUserInteraction], animations: {
                self.zoom(to: destinationRect, animated: false)
            }, completion: {
                completed in
                if let delegate = self.delegate, delegate.responds(to: #selector(UIScrollViewDelegate.scrollViewDidEndZooming(_:with:atScale:))), let view = delegate.viewForZooming?(in: self) {
                    delegate.scrollViewDidEndZooming!(self, with: view, atScale: scale)
                }
            })
        } else {
            zoom(to: destinationRect, animated: false)
        }
    }
}

@kmaschke85 Thanks works great!

@kmaschke85
Thanks, but it isn't animating. Happen to know why? Thanks in advance!

@kmaschke85 Thanks for posting that, but it isn't animating for some reason. Happen to know how to solve that?
Thanks in advance for explaining!

Sorry @01GOD can't tell. It's animating fine for me. Can you provide an example where it's not working for you?

@kmaschke85 Seems there is an issue with the UIView animation system in that app not animating. I built a custom animator for that today.
