Holy wowzers. I decide I want to subscribe so I scroll to the top. Figuring it would take 3 or four clicks to find what I needed. Nope… it’s right there at the top. I love you guys.

When I first read the article I took note of the original time stamp and almost left. I scrolled down to the comments and saw it had comments (with answers!) even two years down the road. Big thumbs up to the community and the author. RSS subscription time!

Typically you pop a view controller to return to the previous view, it depends how the view controller was shown. Look into the view controller documentation that Apple has, it describes all this in great detail.

Great tutorial,

I have integrated this into an app in which a have a view with the take picture button. When the button is pressed the camera is launched, I take the photo, and then save it to photo album. the message that it has been saved pops up and I click OK. Here is where the problem arrises. I am stuck in this view. How do I return to the view where I first pressed the take photo button? Thanks for all the help so far.

Steve,

You will receive that error message, or something similar, when trying to access the camera in the simulator. You could put a check in there to see if the camera is available. Only allow camera access if it is available and then the app shouldn’t crash when you run it in your simulator.

Also, you can save to your application’s documents directory. You should be able to find a lot of documentation on this if you search for NSFileManager and use that in combination with returned array from the method call NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES).

Hi, great tutorial, Very simple and easy understanding. Few questions… I know this will NOT work in the simulator but tried anyways to see what would actually happen when i click the “Activate Camera” button. It crashes the app and i get the SIGABRT error.
Should it display this error since the camera will not run in the simulator?

Also how can i use the picture in my app instead of saving to photo gallery? Any documentation or reference much appreciated!

Thanks!
Steve

Thanks for the post on this. Have a problem though.

After the image is saved to the camera roll and the modalViewController is dismissed, the test_appViewController does not reappear with the button on it. Did the testing on the device, of course. Any clue as to why this is happening?
