Send captured image to another UIViewController with prepareForSegue - ios

Question

I'm trying to send the captured image to another UIViewController.
So when I press captured button, it's taking a photo and I can save the image in my camera roll. But when I want to see image in another view I can't see it.
This is my code :
- (IBAction)captureButton:(id)sender
{
[self.cameraViewController captureImageWithCompletionHander:^(id data) {
self.image = ([data isKindOfClass:[NSData class]]) ? [UIImage imageWithData:data] : data;
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(self.image, nil, nil, nil);
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"savingSegue" sender:self];
}];
}
And this is the prepare for segue method.
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"savingSegue"]) {
PhotoSaveViewController *pvc = [[PhotoSaveViewController alloc] init];
[pvc.imageView setImage:self.image];
}
}

Answer 1

If your second view is a PhotoSaveViewController then replace your prepareForSeque method with this:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"savingSegue"]) {
PhotoSaveViewController *pvc = (PhotoSaveViewController *)segue.destinationViewController;
if (pvc)
[pvc.imageView setImage:self.image];
}
}
Indeed, it's not your job to instantiate the destination UIViewController, your UINavigationController have already done that.

I guess that imageView on PhotoSaveViewController it is outlet and it is not set at this moment. You should declare there some other property like
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIImage *inputImage;
and assign to that in prepareForSegue:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"savingSegue"]) {
PhotoSaveViewController *pvc = segue.destinationViewController;
pvc.inputImage = self.image;
}
}
Then do the following in the PhotoSaveViewController:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.imageView.image = self.inputImage;
}
Another approach you can create it from code totally. Assign Storyboard ID to the PhotoSaveViewController and then do the following:
- (IBAction)captureButton:(id)sender {
[self.cameraViewController captureImageWithCompletionHander:^(id data) {
self.image = ([data isKindOfClass:[NSData class]]) ? [UIImage imageWithData:data] : data;
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(self.image, nil, nil, nil);
PhotoSaveViewController *dvc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"PhotoSaveViewControllerID"];
dvc.inputImage = self.image;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:dvc animated:YES];
}];
}
