Take a photo and add to UITableView - ios

Question

I have an app that has a takePhoto UIButton on a UIViewcontroller that enables the user to take a photo by using the imagePickerController. I then want the photo to be placed in a UITableView.
The photo part works and for testing purposes I have the image displayed in a UIImage photoImageView.image
I have added the UITableView delegate and then UITable is called photoTable and the cell is called photoCell. I have tried to figure out the code below for adding the image to the table without success. Any help greatly appreciated.
- (IBAction)takePhoto:(id)sender
{
[self startCameraControllerFromViewController: self usingDelegate: self];
}
-(void) imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
UIImage *image;
image = (UIImage *)
[info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
photoImageView.image=image;
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nil, nil);
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
-(void) imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
{
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (BOOL) startCameraControllerFromViewController: (UIViewController*) controller usingDelegate: (id <UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate>) delegate
{
if (([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera] == NO) || (delegate == nil) || (controller == nil)) return NO;
UIImagePickerController *cameraUI = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
cameraUI.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
cameraUI.mediaTypes = [UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
cameraUI.allowsEditing = NO;
cameraUI.delegate = delegate;
[controller presentViewController:cameraUI animated:YES completion:nil];
return YES;
}
- (UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView*)photoTable cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{
static NSString* CellIdentifier = #"photoCell";
UITableViewCell* cell = [photoTable dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"nameOfImage.jpg"];
return cell;
}

Answer 1

create the image property, and tableview outlet in .h file
#property(nonatomic, strong) UIIImage *photoImage;
#property(nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UITableView *tableview;
in .m file in didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: method
-(void) imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
UIImage *image;
image = (UIImage *)
[info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
self.photoImage = image;
[self.tableView reloadData]; //call reloadData method to load data with image
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nil, nil);
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
in cellForRowAtIndexPath: method
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.movieTable dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"cell"];
cell.imageView.image = self.photoImage;
or use array and add image to array in didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: and use the image
cell.imageView.image = [self.photoArray objectAtIndex:0];
}

Answer 2

In your following method:
imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
Add this line:
[_tableView reloadData];
Return updated number of rows in:
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
and in cellForRowAtIndexPath modify your code like this:
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"nameOfImage.jpg"];
NOTE: if you want to show more than one image, like every image you capture, then save images in an array. and retrieve them in cellForRowAtIndexPath and assign different image to every cell.

Answer 3

if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"nameOfImage.jpg"];
}
Try it, I hope it helps!

I think you have to save images in document directory after capture photo
like:
- (void)saveImage:(UIImage*)imagepk
{
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *savedImagePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"savedImage.png"];
UIImage *image = imagepk; // imageView is my image from camera
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
[imageData writeToFile:savedImagePath atomically:NO];
// Code for saving image here
}
and then acces from document directory and add in array.
