Question

I need to allow the user to add photo either from source type camera or photo library when the user taps on the UIImageview.

I don’t want to present a uiimagepicker controller by clicking on a UIButton, I want to allow the user to add it by tapping on the imageview.

How can I achieve this? Should I add the button the imageview, and when a tap occurs, present an action sheet with buttons camera and photo library and when the user selects one of the 2 buttons from action sheet allowing him to add photo to the uiimageview?

Answer 1

You can still use a UIButton, just have that button’s view as the image you want.

UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
btn.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,100,100); //edit for you own frame
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:@"myimage.png"];
[button setImage:img forState:UIControlStateNormal];

This will allow you to use an image as your button.
