Question

I am new in iPhone development,
I have built new app to take a picture using UIImagePickerController.
Everything is work fine with me, but I need to dismiss the picture preview that appear after I press the capture button.
I search through the net then I found I must use the following routine.

(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)img editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editInfo 
{

    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

but it didn’t work.

Any help or suggestions, is highly appreciated.

You need to add your own camera overlay view. This view should have a button on to Take a picture.

To add an overlay view, create a view with a background colour of clear, then assign your overlay view to the picker control

   self.imagePickerController.showsCameraControls = NO;
   self.imagePickerController.cameraOverlayView = myOverlayView;

Then in your overlay view button event you call the following:

 [imagePickerController takePicture];

This will then fire the following method on the imagePickerDelegate, and you can save your photo etc in there

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
