dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: does not dismiss the modal view - ios

After capturing the image, callback occurs but something is wrong cause it's not dismissing the Camera View. My code is pretty straight forward, my only doubt is that I am using a tab bar controller and pushing the imagePicker within one of the tabs, just a thought.
- (IBAction)imageButtonPressed:(id)sender {
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
imagePicker.delegate = self;
imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;
[self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
}
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
self.portaitImage.image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
}

You need to dismiss UIImagePickerController, not self:
[picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

UIImagePickerController delegate not called when sourceType is Photo Library

I have a problem where the delegate of UIImagePickerController not being called when presented with sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary.
Oddly enough, it works perfectly fine in camera mode.
Interface declaration:
#interface ChatVC : UIViewController <UIActionSheetDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate>
And in implementation:
- (void)takePhotoAction {
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) {
UIImagePickerController* imgPickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imgPickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
imgPickerController.cameraCaptureMode = UIImagePickerControllerCameraCaptureModePhoto;
imgPickerController.allowsEditing = YES;
imgPickerController.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:imgPickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
- (void)choosePhotoFromLibraryAction {
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary]) {
UIImagePickerController* imgPickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imgPickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
imgPickerController.allowsEditing = YES;
imgPickerController.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:imgPickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
And here's the delegate method implementation in the same view controller:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)image editingInfo:(NSDictionary<NSString *,id> *)editingInfo {
NSLog(#"Image Picker Controller Picked Image - Deprecated");
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
NSLog(#"Image Picker Controller Picked Image");
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker {
NSLog(#"Image Picker Controller Cancelled");
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
When opened in camera mode, everything works just fine, and I can see the appropriate delegate methods being called.
But when opened in photo library mode and I choose a photo, nothing happens and no delegate method is called. However, I can see -imagePickerControllerDidCancel: delegate method being called when I tap on Cancel button.
I even suspected memory warning somehow invalidates the delegate, but it was not the case here.
Please someone help me figure this out.
Thanks in advance!

How to dismiss UIImagePickerController on iPad

I am using a UIImagePickerController.
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.allowsEditing = YES;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:picker];
[popover presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(0, 10, 500, 500) inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
When I use any photo from gallery class delegate didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo is called.
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
NSLog(#"inside Delegate image pick");
[popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
That is working fine, but I'm having trouble with the imagePickerControllerDidCancel delegate method.
- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker {
NSLog(#"inside Cancel ");
[popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
imagePickerControllerDidCancel is never called, and I don't know why. How do I dismiss the popover when the user clicks cancel?
If imagePickerControllerDidCancel does not get call it means you need to implement UIImagePickerControllerDelegate
Example
#interface ImageViewController : UIViewController<UIImagePickerControllerDelegate>

UIImagePickerController won't cancel, getting message about detached ViewControllers

I've not seen these two issues compounded together, so I figured I'd ask.
PhotoViewController
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
picker.delegate = self;
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]){
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
}
else if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum]){
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
}
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
UIImage *image = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
if(!image) image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
picker.delegate = self;
[self setPhotoForNextVC:image];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"givePhotoToGiveDetailsSegue" sender:self];
}
- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Selecting a photo works, but when I press cancel the UIImagePickerController keeps coming back up, and I get the error:
Presenting view controllers on detached view controllers is discouraged <UINavigationController: 0x10b38b560>.
I had faced this problem before as well.
For me it turned out to be that, especially in ViewDidAppear.
The OS doesn't like to put up new controllers right after another appears.
Make another method that handles this.
(void)bringUpCameraController {
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
picker.delegate = self;
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]){
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
}
else if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum]){
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
}
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
My workaround :[self performSelector:<(bringUpCameraController)> withObject:<(nil)> afterDelay:<(2.0)>]
this will get rid of the message.
Look up the tree to PhotoViewController's hierarchy. It's probably not the root. I had this happen.
The error message is literal.

ioS7: Capture multiple images from camera and store in array

guys.
I'm trying to capture multiple images from the camera in iOS7, when I capture the first image and click in in "Use Photo", then it's store the image in a array in didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo. When the camera appear again, I see the last image in background but I can't see the camera movement. I know the camera is enabled, because it's searching faces. The code is below:
- (IBAction)openTour:(id)sender
{
_counter=0;
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])
{
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
imagePicker.showsCameraControls = YES;
imagePicker.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:nil];
imagePicker = nil;
}
}
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: (NSDictionary *)info
{
UIImage *image= [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
[ _imageArray addObject:image ];
_counter++;
if ( _counter<5 )
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])
{
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
imagePicker.showsCameraControls = YES;
imagePicker.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:NO completion:nil];
imagePicker = nil;
}
}
else
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
Does anyone know what is happening?
Thanks in advance!
Set showsCameraControls = NO;
Use cameraOverlayView property.
In the action of your camera button call takePicture method.
Keep adding UIImage objects received by the method
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info

black UIImagePicker preview ios7

I'm getting a black image picker preview. This DOES NOT happen if I delete the app then run it again. So the first time the app runs after being installed to my device it works. However if I bring up my image picker controller after that and capture an image, the preview is black. I have read all the answers mentioning background threading but I am not running any background threads. Im not sure what is causing this. It works perfectly the first time around but after that it never works.
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
//Image Picker settings
self.imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
self.imagePicker.delegate = self;
self.imagePicker.allowsEditing = NO;
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) {
self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
} else {
self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
}
self.imagePicker.mediaTypes = [UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:self.imagePicker.sourceType];
[self presentViewController:self.imagePicker animated:NO completion:nil];
}
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
if ([mediaType isEqualToString:(NSString *)kUTTypeImage]) {
//dismiss view controller
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
Don't present the image picker from the viewDidLoad method of your view controller. When viewDidLoad is being run, your view controller hasn't yet been added to the view controller hierarchy. You can try presenting it from viewDidAppear, and that might fix it.
