Can't size controller when launching RedLaser overlay view controller - iphone

Question

I am using the RedLaser SDK. My app is a split view. I'm trying to launch a RedLaser overlay when a barbutton is pressed on the master view controller.
The method gets called when the button is pressed and that's where the problems start. I have 3 different versions of the code that launches the overlay. Each has it's own problem.
Option 1
This was my baseline and I knew it wouldn't work because I hadn't initialized the overlay. The following code launches the view controller correctly but (obviously) doesn't do what I want.
// Working Code that brings up dialog but doesn't start camera overlay
SRSScanVINViewController *scanVINViewController y= [[SRSScanVINViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:scanVINViewController];
[navController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
[navController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
Option 2
This code initiates the overlay controller and launches it without crashing. The overlay is working and the camera is active. The problem is that the viewcontroller/overlay is taking the whole screen. My controls (buttons, etc) are all layed out as if the view controller is taking a portion of the upper-left portion of the screen. This would work if I could get the overlay to be sized correctly.
// Working code that shows the overlay (camera on) but the overlay takes the whole screen
SRSScanVINViewController *scanVINViewController = [[SRSScanVINViewController alloc] init];
[pickerController setOverlay:scanVINViewController];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:scanVINViewController];
[navController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
[navController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
[self presentViewController:pickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
Option 3
This attempt was to fix the problems in option 2 (above). Here is the code:
SRSScanVINViewController *scanVINViewController = [[SRSScanVINViewController alloc] init];
[pickerController setOverlay:scanVINViewController];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:pickerController];
[navController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
[navController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
[self presentViewController:pickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
It crashes with the following error (nslog):
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Application tried to present modally an active controller <SRSMasterViewController: 0x1f59f540>.'
*** First throw call stack:

terminate called throwing an exception
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

I got the code to work but still have a couple of issues. Here's the code:
SRSScanVINViewController *scanVINViewController = [[SRSScanVINViewController alloc] init];
[pickerController setOverlay:scanVINViewController];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:scanVINViewController];
[navController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
[navController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
if([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
{
pickerControllerPopover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:pickerController];
[pickerControllerPopover setDelegate:self];
[pickerControllerPopover setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(320.0f, 460.0f)];
[pickerControllerPopover presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:NO];
}
else
{
[self presentViewController:pickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
This sets the size of the popover to the same size as my original controller (defined in the nib). I still have a couple of issues though.
The controller has 4 buttons in a button bar at the bottom. It also has a UIImage. The first time I load this controller, the buttons (and button bar and UIImage) are either missing are located in strange places. If I dismiss the popover controller by touching the screen somewhere outside of the controller and load the controller again, the controls are all in the right places. In fact, they are in the right places every time EXCEPT the first time.
Any ideas?
