iOS 7 UIImagePickerController Camera Covered with Static image - iphone

Question

iOS 7 using UIImagePickerController to take picture twice, at second time will show a static image covered the camera, how to reset the camera.
I'm try to take picture one by one, and keep take 5 pictures.
It works on iOS6.
on iOS7, it works fine at the first time, but when it take picture at second time, it will show a static dark image on screen, how to clear or reset it, although take picture works, but user can't see what will capture with camera.
bool fistTimeToShow = YES;
-(void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated{
if (fistTimeToShow) {
fistTimeToShow = NO;
self.imagePickerController = nil;
[self tackImage];
}
}
-(void)tackImage{
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) {
self.imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
self.imagePickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
self.imagePickerController.showsCameraControls = YES;
self.imagePickerController.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:self.imagePickerController animated:NO completion:nil];
}
}
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{
NSLog(#"====== imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo ======");
[self.imagePickerController dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
//...deal with the image capture...
self.imagePickerController = nil;
[self tackImage];
}
Update
I change the dismiss function to put the [self tackImage]; in block. And now it always show the fist image took.
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{
NSLog(#"====== imagePicker: didFinish ======");
self.imagePickerController = nil;
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion: ^{
[self tackImage];
}];
}
I'm trying to find a way to clear the image. But I don't know where the image saved yet.
Update2
use
[self performSelector:#selector(presentCameraView) withObject:nil afterDelay:1.0f];
and function
-(void)presentCameraView{
[self presentViewController:self.imagePickerController animated:NO completion:nil];
}
to replace. [self presentViewController:self.imagePickerController animated:NO completion:nil]; it works on my device anyway, but I don't even know why.
Update3
I have set the userInteractionEnabled to NO when Delay:1.0f to avoid other problems, and may be also need set the navigationBar and tabBar for specifically use.

Answer 1

I had exactly the same issue under iOS 7 using Xamarin.iOS.
What has helped, is adding GC.Collect() in didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo method.
In C# GC.Collect() "cleans up" the memory from unused/disposed objects.
For sure, there's no direct equivalent for that in Obj-C, but that may shed some light on your problem also (it could be memory-related).
