Previous Page Next Page  

Camera is one of the common features in a mobile device. It is possible for us to take pictures with the camera and use it in our apppcation and it is quite simple too.

Camera Management – Steps Involved

Step 1 − Create a simple View based apppcation.

Step 2 − Add a button in ViewController.xib and create IBAction for the button.

Step 3 − Add an image view and create IBOutlet naming it as imageView.

Step 4 − Update ViewController.h as follows −

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController<UIImagePickerControllerDelegate> {
   UIImagePickerController *imagePicker;
   IBOutlet UIImageView *imageView;
}

- (IBAction)showCamera:(id)sender;
@end

Step 5 − Update ViewController.m as follows −

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
   [super viewDidLoad];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
   [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
   // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

- (IBAction)showCamera:(id)sender {
   imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;
   
   if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:
   UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) {
      imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
   } else {
      imagePicker.sourceType = 
      UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
   }
   [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
}

-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker 
   didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
      UIImage *image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
      
      if (image == nil) {
         image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
      }
   imageView.image = image;
}

-(void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker {
   [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
@end

When we run the apppcation and cpck show camera button, we ll get the following output −
