I m working on an app in which i have 5 buttons(having .png images included in resources) m hiding them in viewDidload and showing them after choosing the image from UIImagepickerView.
All is going well in simulator but when i launch the app on device i cant find those buttons.
anyone have any idea of this situation?????
here is the code of my hiding and showing the buttons.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.count1 = 1;
btnAddPimple.hidden = YES;
btnAddPimple2.hidden = YES;
btnAddPimple3.hidden = YES;
btnAddPimple4.hidden = YES;
btnAddPimple5.hidden = YES;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.hidden=YES;
Here I am showing the buttons after choosing image from Imagepicker.
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
imgToDisplayFromPicker.image = [[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]retain];
[[picker parentViewController]dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[picker release];
btnAddPimple.hidden = NO;
btnAddPimple2.hidden = NO;
btnAddPimple3.hidden = NO;
btnAddPimple4.hidden = NO;
btnAddPimple5.hidden = NO;
for (UIView *subview in [self.view subviews]) {
// Only remove the subviews with tag not equal to 1
if (subview.tag != 0)
{
[subview removeFromSuperview];
}
}
}
A big difference between the simulator and an actual device is that Mac OS (thus, also the simulator) is case insensitive, while the device is not.
The images are most probably not showing because you did not type them with the correct capitalization.
If you are sure that is not the problem, it would help to see your code.
it may be the problem with images , for testing try with only buttons (roundrect) and try in device without images. and if it work fine then there may be problem with images.
Can you please debug it on device if you know about it then it would be very easy to trace out the crase where it is crasing. As #antalkerekes said, if there is no issues regarding the case sensitivity then the app should work, but for your know do device testing.
Have the same behavior: UIImage *image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]; returns nothing (0x0) on iOS5.0 simulator, so buttons show up empty and, in this case, it has nothing to do with spelling/caps/lowercase etc. On the device everything is fine though.

I've implemented the camera inside of my app with the default showsCameraControls = YES, and the issue I am having is when the user confirms that the image is a keeper, it dismisses the camera with [self.delegate didFinishWithCamera]. I would like to remain in the Camera view until the user is done taking photos. Without [self.delegate didFinishWithCamera], the app hangs after the user confirms they want to keep the photo and never returns back to the live camera feed. How do I remain in the camera view? Your help is appreciated!

In order to achieve this, you will have to implement your own method for taking a picture, since this default button causes the view to dismiss itself.
Obviously, you can do this by setting showsCameraControls=NO, but then you'd have to recreate all the other functionality that you still want.
I've never done this, but it should be possible to leave showsCameraControls=YES and use the cameraOverlayView to simply layer an identical "Take Picture" button over the existing one. If you do that, you just need to have that button call the method -takePicture from the instance of your UIImagePickerViewController.
Hopefully that's enough, feel free to comment and ask for any clarification.
You're going to need to implement a custom camera - check out Apple's SquareCam example
You'll be using AVFoundation and will be able to implement any kind of custom behavior when a photo is taken (including just staying on that camera page) - you'll even have to save it to the Photo Library yourself (the SquareCam example shows you how to do this). This also means that if you need the crop/resize controls, you'll have to create them yourself, as well as a picker view (grid gallery view) if you want the user to be able to review their photos after taking them.
It's probably around intermediate level stuff - took me a few days to implement, but if your app is in any way focused on photos, this is definitely the way to go. Gives you complete control of the camera UI and behavior.
Oh, and yeah you'll have to implement the flash button, shutter button, shutter effect, tap to focus, and anything else yourself too. AVFoundation basically gives you a straight pipe to the camera lens (figuratively).
I am using ZBar iPhone SDK in one of my projects (iOS SDK 5.1 ,XCode 4.4.1 and device running iOS 5.5.1). I am using the embedded scanner from the examples provided in the SDk itself.
Now the issue which I am facing is that I successfully scan a bar code and move to another view controller ( using navigation controller). When I come back (pop the second view controller) the scanner i.e the ZBarReaderView doesn't scan the subsequent bar codes , infact the overlay shows a blur image of the scanned barcode and is never able to scan it properly.
This is what all I have implemented . In BarScannerViewController.h I have declared
ZBarReaderView* readerView;
with property
#property (nonatomic , retain) IBOutlet UIImageView* imgvScannedBarCode;
Now this is connected to one of the views in xib.
Finally I use set up the required methods as follows -
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// the delegate receives decode results
readerView.readerDelegate = self;
[readerView start];
}
- (void) viewDidAppear: (BOOL) animated {
// run the reader when the view is visible
[activityIndicatorScanning startAnimating];
[readerView start];
}
- (void) viewWillDisappear: (BOOL) animated {
[activityIndicatorScanning stopAnimating];
[readerView stop];
}
With all this set up when I scan any bar code say EAN123 for the first time I get the call back in
- (void) readerView: (ZBarReaderView*) view
didReadSymbols: (ZBarSymbolSet*) syms
fromImage: (UIImage*) img
{
// do something useful with results
ZBarSymbol *symbol = nil;
for(symbol in syms) {
barCodeFound = YES;
break;
}
// EXAMPLE: do something useful with the barcode data
NSLog(#"%#",symbol.data);
}
but on subsequent runs (After I push a view and come back on this screen again) I get blurred view.
Am I missing something here ? Any help/Suggestion/Comments would be helpful.
Here's the code that I use to start (and endlessly restart) the scanner. Interestingly, I note that I never stop the scan, but it works very reliably.
- (void) startScan
{
ZBarReaderViewController *reader = [ZBarReaderViewController new];
reader.readerDelegate = self;
ZBarImageScanner *scanner = reader.scanner;
[scanner setSymbology: ZBAR_I25
config: ZBAR_CFG_ENABLE
to: 0];
// present and release the controller
[self presentViewController:reader animated:YES completion:nil]; // Modal
[reader release];
}
I could solve the Blur issue by reconfiguring the SDK in my project. I followed the embedded scanner example as provided on ZBarSDk. I guess I might have missed some essential settings while configuring it earlier.
So I created an entire app and it works flawlessly the way I envisioned. Created an update that uses UIImages, and that works perfectly as well ONLY ON iOS 4 and above. For some reason the exact same code will not work the same on 3.0. Since the original app is on the store at min OS being 3, I do not want to just cut off my user base because of some silly mistake on my part. I'm not doing anything new, so it should all be backwards compatible.
Basically the app takes an image chosen from either the camera or the photo album and then saves it, and displays the image on the screen. When you go to the next screen it pulls the image file off the disk and displays it in the image view on the next screen. Again, works fine on iOS4 and above.
Using the 3.0 sim on an older version of xcode, it just will not function the same way. I know allowImageEditing changed to allowEditing, so I allowed for that, but everything else it seems according to the docs, should work on iOS 3 and above.
Below is my going to photo album and returning.
-(IBAction) getPhotoFromAlbum {
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
if (editingSwitch.on) {
#ifdef __IPHONE_3_0
picker.allowsImageEditing = YES;
#else
picker.allowsEditing = YES;
#endif
} else if (!editingSwitch.on) {
#ifdef __IPHONE_3_0
picker.allowsImageEditing = NO;
#else
picker.allowsEditing = NO;
#endif
}
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
}
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
[picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
UIImage *image = nil;
if (editingSwitch.on) {
image = [info objectForKey:#"UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:YES forKey:isImageEdited];
} else if (!editingSwitch.on) {
image = [info objectForKey:#"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:NO forKey:isImageEdited];
}
imageView.image = [self imageWithImage:image];
imageView.hidden = NO;
buttonPreview.hidden = YES;
[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:#selector(myThreadSavingImage) toTarget:self withObject:nil];
[activitySaving startAnimating];
When I debug, it seems the info that is coming back from the picker only has 1 key. When it sets the image, the image is blank. Basically no image ever comes back and if for some rare occasion it does, like when I edit the picture and not just use the original, it does not show up on the next page.
Hopefully everyone can help as the app is finished besides this 3.0 issue and its frustrating as I want to get it out soon.
Turns out the answer is that it was not working on the simulator due to the updates to the xcode program. When actually installed onto a 3.0 device, the code worked perfectly.
The code to set image to imageView is:
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated {
SDWebImageManager *manager = [SDWebImageManager sharedManager];
UIImage *cachedImage = [manager imageWithURL:_url];
if (cachedImage)
{
_imageView.image = cachedImage;
[spinner stopAnimating];
}
else
{
[spinner startAnimating];
[manager downloadWithURL:_url delegate:self];
}
// Configure the view for the selected state
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
}
- (void)webImageManager:(SDWebImageManager *)imageManager
didFinishWithImage:(UIImage *)_image
{
[spinner stopAnimating];
_imageView.image = _image;
[self setNeedsLayout];
}
I use SDWebImage
this works every time in simulator, but when I run the app in the device (Ipod touch)
80 % of the images is just black, but if I go to another view and back the images are set (from cache).
I have try to set delay on _imageView = _image, but change.

Now I have try the code on a Iphone 3gs and it works perfect, can understand why it wont work on ipod touch.
When i Compiled and Run as "Release" it works on ipod, but not in as debugger. Wierd..
I've got a simple UIImagePickerController which tries to grab the original selected image:
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:
UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary]) {
if(defaultpicker == nil){
defaultpicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
}
defaultpicker.delegate = self;
defaultpicker.allowsEditing = NO;
defaultpicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
[self presentModalViewController:defaultpicker animated:YES];
}
Upon selecting:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)imagepicker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
[imagepicker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
NSString* key = nil;
for(key in info){
NSLog(#"Info: %#", key);
}
UIImage *theImage = (UIImage *)[info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
I'm using 4.0 as the base SDK, and targeting 3.1.3 at the moment. Running the 4.0 simulator, the info collection only contains:
2010-07-07 16:19:33.414 ******[516:307] Info: UIImagePickerControllerMediaType
On the device, or running in the iPad 3.2 simulator I get:
2010-07-07 16:19:33.405 ****[516:307] Info: UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage
2010-07-07 16:19:33.414 ****[516:307] Info: UIImagePickerControllerMediaType
Am I missing something? This was working fine before I updated to SDK 4.0. I have no warning etc.
Obviously, without the original image in the simulator, I can't show or do anything with the selected image as I have no idea what it is.
Im running on a device running 4.0 (a 3GS) and getitng the same problem. It worked fine before as well. So it is not a simulator error. However for me this only seems to be happening if it is a user created photo album. if selected from the camera roll or taken with the camera it works fine :/.
If i find a solution (working on it now) will post.
Update: It appears to be a bug with apple, since as we both stated, the info dictionary that is returned only contains the key-value pair of the media type even though this value is "public.image" it does not return that image in the UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage key as it should. I have submitted a bug report Bug ID# 8176175.
I was getting this as well, but if you choose this you will get them both(for now it looks a like a workaround):
self.imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;
