CameraOverlayView buttons - iphone

I'm adding a cameraOverlay to my UIImagePickerController, it shows and all but it doesn't register touches. I init a button in the viewDidLoad and a one via IB.
Is there some rule that prohibits me from adding a UIButton to a cameraOverlayView and register touches?
Thanks

I had a similar problem, and it turned out that my overlay UIView's frame was not large enough. The clipsToBounds property for a UIView is by default set to NO, which means its subviews are still visible even if they are outside the parent's frame.
So essentially, make sure your overlay's frame is large enough, or that your subviews of the overlay are positioned within its bounds.

User Interaction Enable in a UIImageView under another UIImage View

I have two UIImageView in a UIView in my application. And I need to Zoom, Rotate and Move the UIImageView which is at bottom of the top one, I don't need to do any thing with top one. I've already implemented the code for Move, Rotate and Zoom but the problem is I cant enable the touch to UIImageview in bottom.
How to solve this problem?
UIImageView's have userInteractionEnabled set to NO by default. You have to explicitly set this to YES for the image view you want to allow touch events to occur on.

Overlaying a UIScrollview without cutting off touch events to the scrollview

I have a transparent overlay that I'd like to put over a UIScrollview. I'm adding it as an Imageview sibling view to the scrollview so that it remains stationary while the scrollview subviews move freely underneath. The problem is that views pass their events to the superview, not the siblings. IS there a way to pass events from this overlay to the scrollview? Or can anyone think of a better way to achieve the same effect? Thanks!
This should Just Work, as long as the UIImageView has its userInteractionEnabled property set to NO: the superview sends -hitTests:withEvent: to its subviews in order, and the UIImageView should return nil, whereas the UIScrollView should return itself (because it has gesture recognizers).
If it's not working for you, the chances are that your view layout is not what you think it is. UIView has a useful method called -recursiveDescription which you should call on the superview and NSLog the result.

Problem with UIScrollView inside another UIView

I have this UIScrollView inside another UIView, not occuping the entire area (all this is initialized via nib file). I added some content to the scroll view, but whenever I scroll it, the UIScrollView content area moves outside the ScrollView frame, over the UIView area not designated for displaying it.
Shouldn't it remain inside its frame even when I scroll it?
It may be that the clipsToBounds property of your UIScrollView is set to NO. Check the setting in IB, or you can set it in code like so:
scrollView.clipsToBounds = YES;
Failing that, double check that your UIScrollView has exactly the bounds you think it does. Is there any autoresizing flag stuff going on that might be changing the scroll view's bounds?
try to set the clipsToBounds to YES, it may be that:
yourViewController.clipsToBounds = YES;
if not... fbreto is right, post your code...
Make sure you have setContentSize. And also set the frame size of the uiviews inside the uiscrollview correctly when you add them.
Here is a sample code of it http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/Scrolling/Introduction/Intro.html

Why does my image in a UIView object go beyond the borders?

so I have a UIImageView in a UIView but when I run it in the iPhone Simulator, the image goes beyond the boundaries of the UIView. What's wrong...?
Have a look at the clipsToBounds property of UIView. If you set this to YES on your view the UIImageView shouldn't extend outside of that view any more.
You may also benefit from using the Content Mode property in which you can specify how the content is drawn to fit the view. You can set it to fill, fit-to-scale, etc.

iPhone UIScrollview: Button does not respond when located below 480 pixels on Scroll View's child UIView

I have built a view for an iPhone app in Interface Builder. It is a UIScrollview with a UIView and a UIButton on the UIView. The only code I have is setting the scroll view's contentSize to 320x550 in the viewDidLoad method of the xib's File Owner class. When the button is within the normal view area (320x480) the button responds as normal, but if is placed outside of those boundaries in Interface Builder the button will not respond when I scroll to it and click the button.
What am I missing? I figure it might be something I need to set on the UIView. But I am not sure what that is.
Your UIButton won't response even it's visible because it's not in the boundary of parent view. You can see object outside the boundary of its parent view because it's a default behavior of UIView to draw all subview (clipsToBounds = NO)
To see the truth, try this code.
UIView *yourUIView = ...
yourUIView.clipsToBounds = YES;
yourUIView.backgroundColor = [UIColor cyanColor];
You will no longer see your UIButton.
To fix this, enlarge your UIView.
I had the same problem as the person who posted the question. Thanks to the first answer, I had a hint as to what to do. I increased the height of the view by adjusting the frame. This, apparently must be done in code. Once this was done, however, the toolbar at the bottom was no longer visible. So before I adjust the height of the view, I grab the position of the tool bar. Then after adjusting the height of the view, I reset the position of the tool bar. Now all is good.
