I want to make a game, where the user can touch a picture of a TV and then choose a picture from their photo library.
I had success working with UITextFields, adding them to my EAGLView as subviews But I haven't been able to do the same thing with an UIImagePickerController , which seems the only way to do what I want to do.
Any help is appreciated !
UPDATE
With the suggestion of zpasternack I managed to make the menu appear by adding the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate and using this method:
- (void) chooseImageFromLibrary {
if( ![UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary] ) return;
UIImagePickerController *imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePickerController.delegate = self;
imagePickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
imagePickerController.allowsEditing = YES;
[self addSubview:imagePickerController.view];
[imagePickerController viewWillAppear:YES];
[imagePickerController viewDidAppear:YES];
}
I call the chooseImageFromLibrary method at the start. It shows the interface, but as soon as i hit cancel or choose the app stops.
Can anyone suggest me:
1) How to make the cancel and choose buttons work. 2) How to call the UIImagePickerController whenever I want ( by calling chooseImageFromLibrary again ??). 3) When the user hits choose..Where do i find the UIImage the user just picked to ?, how do i pick it ?
Thanks.
I've never used one over an EAGLView, but UIImagePickerControllers are typically invoked with presentModalViewController, like:
- (void) chooseImageFromLibrary {
if( ![UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary] ) return;
UIImagePickerController *imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePickerController.delegate = self;
imagePickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
imagePickerController.allowsEditing = YES;
[self presentModalViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES];
}
