Image picker in selfie mode - ios

I'm trying to find a way to open the image picker view direcly in "selfie" mode. (To take have the camera showing the user's face)
Does someone has a trick to do that ?

You can simply do this by setting two properties of UIImagePickerController like this -
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[picker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
[picker setCameraDevice:UIImagePickerControllerCameraDeviceFront];
You need to set Camera Device to Front and need to set Source Type to Camera.

how to customize the image after capturing the image from the uiimagepicker

I need to customize the square frame that comes after when we select a image from the camera using uiimagepickerController
UIImagePickerController comes with a handy method to enable editing.
UIImagePickerController *mediaUI = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[mediaUI setAllowsEditing:YES];
calling this method should help.

Open camera roll on the latest photo

I know already how to open the camera roll:
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[picker setDelegate:self];
[picker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary];
[picker setAllowsEditing:YES];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
But I want it to go directly to the latest picture. It does it when you use the iPhone original camera. When you click on the thumbnail of the taken photo, the camera roll open and display it directly.
Is it possible to do this way?

ios open camera image from roll

I´m creating an app that access to the Camera roll using ImagePickerController. The app has a buttom and when I tap on it the app should go to the last image saved on the roll. Using that code:
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated: YES];
the app open the thumbnails and I would like to open a specific image (full screen)
Is possible?
Image will open in full view only if you want to make edit to it.
Add this line to open in full view before presenting .
[picker setAllowsEditing:YES];
If you wish more function than you have two option.
Use your own custom control.
Add overlay view on UIImagePickerController
Refer this example to create your controls:
DLCImagePickerController
AGImagePickerController

limit UIImagePicker Camera View to a small part of screen

I am developing an app which uses UIImagePicker to capture and save screen.
Following is the code to launch camera.
UIImagePickerController *imgPickController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imgPickController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
imgPickController.delegate =self;
imgPickController.allowsEditing=YES;
[self presentModalViewController:imgPickController animated:YES];
This launches the camera in the whole screen.
Is there any way to just show the camera-view inside another small subview on the app-screen?? Hope I am clear. Thanks.

iPad2 camera display not showing

I have an iPhone app that displays the camera using UIImagePicker to take a picture. I am porting it to iPad2 and when i want to display the camera (through a modalviewcontroller) i get the camera buttons but the display in the preview is just white. If i take the picture i can see it.
Does this happen to you?
I am experiencing the same problem. I moved the UIImagePicker code to my rootviewcontroller, and it worked. I could see what was actually through the viewfinder. It also worked via a popover in the existing viewcontroller (called next after the rootviewcontroller), but the resolution was poor when I displayed the photo. This is not satisfactory, but I guess I found a workaround if absolutely necessary.
Yesterday only i have tried this code to use camera to take pics. from my app and it worked on iphone after porting it.
I think you need to call takePicture method on the controller.
Just a guess.
if([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:sourceType])
{
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.sourceType = sourceType;
picker.delegate = self;
if(sourceType == UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera)
[picker takePicture];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
}
