Dismiss a imagepickercontroller - ios

Question

I'm trying to dismiss a imagepickercontroller (album or camera) which is presented as below
[self.view.window.rootViewController presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:nil];
By calling :
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
I can't dismiss the imagepickercontroller.
Any body can help me on this?

Answer 1

I use this:
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
else
[popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
Don't know whether the NULL rather than nil would matter, but it should be nil.
The picker is presented with the following code:
- (void)getVideoFromDevice
{
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) // for ipad only
{
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.delegate = self;
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
imagePicker.allowsEditing = NO;
imagePicker.videoQuality = UIImagePickerControllerQualityTypeLow;
imagePicker.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie, nil];;
popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:imagePicker];
[popover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:[self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems objectAtIndex:0] permittedArrowDirections: UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}
else // for iphone only - NOT TESTED
{
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.delegate = self;
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
[self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
I haven't tested the code for iPhone yet but the iPad portion is working correctly.

You need to dismiss the UIImagePickerViewController in the delegate methods: imagePickerController: didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: and imagePickerControllerDidCancel:. Just be sure to assign the UIImagePickerViewController delegate to the UIViewController that presents the UIImagePickerViewController.
Example:
- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *) picker
{
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void) imagePickerController: (UIImagePickerController *) picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: (NSDictionary *) info
{
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
