Camera freezes if didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo is defined - iphone

Question

I'm trying to do a basic picture taking with iPhone. I used the following code to show the camera:
- (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;
// Displays a control that allows the user to choose picture or
// movie capture, if both are available:
cameraUI.mediaTypes =
[UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:
UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
// Hides the controls for moving & scaling pictures, or for
// trimming movies. To instead show the controls, use YES.
cameraUI.allowsEditing = NO;
cameraUI.delegate = delegate;
[controller presentModalViewController: cameraUI animated: YES];
return YES;
}
This works fine, but then if I define the handling function:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
}
The imagePicker control freezes after pressing the Use button. It doesn't crash, doesn't throw any exception, the code is doing something, but on the screen I just see the frozen imagePicker control. Even if the handler is empty the control freezes. If I remove the handler, the camera disappears normally and shows the view from where the camera was activated...
Did I miss something essential here?
UPDATE:
I tried assigning the image to an UIImageView, the code executes, exits the function and that's it, the camera remains on the screen:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
[[picker parentViewController] dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
UIImage* original =[info objectForKey:#"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];
[[self imgWLItemImage] setImage:[UIImage imageWithCGImage:original.CGImage scale:0.25 orientation:original.imageOrientation]];
}

Answer 1

Try this & check:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
[picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
UIImage* original =[info objectForKey:#"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];
[[self imgWLItemImage] setImage:[UIImage imageWithCGImage:original.CGImage scale:0.25 orientation:original.imageOrientation]];
}
