How to pass image, from uiimagepickercontroller, into another scene's uiimageview - ios

Question

How do I save a UIImagePickerController camera image so I can send to CreateViewController scene's UIImageView?
HomeViewController(scene 1) has a button that loads UIImagePickerController and returns with an image from the camera. CreateViewController(scene 2) has an empty UIImageView.
HomeViewController.h
#import "CreateViewController.h"
#interface HomeViewController : UIViewController
<UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIImagePickerController *imagePicker;
#property(nonatomic, retain) UIImage *myImage;
- (IBAction)cameraImage:(id)sender;
HomeViewController.m
#implementation HomeViewController
#synthesize imagePicker, myImage;
-(void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ( [segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"create"]) {
CreateViewController *cvc = [segue destinationViewController];
UIImage *image = myImage;
cvc.myImage = image;
}
}
//Camera button action
- (IBAction)cameraImage:(id)sender{
//UIImagePickerController space in memory
imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
//Set the delegate
imagePicker.delegate = self;
//Set the sourceType
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
//Show Image Picker UI
[self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:^{}];
}
-(void) imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: (NSDictionary *)info {
self.myImage = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{}];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"create" sender:self];
}
- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{}];
}
CreateViewController.h
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *bgImage;
#property(nonatomic, retain) UIImage *myImage;
CreateViewController.m
#implementation CreateViewController
#synthesize bgImage, myImage;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIImage *image = myImage;
[bgImage setImage:image];
}

Answer 1

Using a segue is not mandatory if you are instanciating the controller programmatically.
The easiest way to achieve that is something like
-(void) imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
UIImage * pickedImage = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
DisplayViewController * controller = [DisplayViewController new];
controller.imageView.image = pickedImage;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
If you want to use a segue you need to manually invoke it by doing
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"your-segue-name" sender:self];
then you can use an ivar in your HomeViewController to store the pickedImage and pass it to your destinationViewController.
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
DisplayViewController * controller = (DisplayViewController *)segue.destinationViewController;
controller.imageView.image = _pickedImage;
}
where _pickedImage is the ivar where you stored the image after it has been picked.

On ur first view
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)image editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo
{
CreateViewController* sI = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"XXXXX"];
sI.myImage = image;
}
XXXXX is identifier of view.

First you have to be sure that your delegate method is called and that you have the image.
Next, store the image to a property:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)image editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo {
self.takenImage = image; // assuming you have declared #property(nonatomic, strong) UIImage *takenImage;
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"my-segue" sender:self];
}];
}
After that, this method's being called:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
// you need to set the picked image to the controller:
DisplayViewController *controller; // get the controller
controller.image = self.takenImage;
}

in this code:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
UIImage *image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
if( i ==1)
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^
{
Second_ViewController*secondview=[[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil]instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Second_ViewController"];
secondview.bb_image=image;
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults ]setInteger:0 forKey:#"123"];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:secondview animated:YES];
}];
}
