Question

I’m trying to make a very simple iphone app that displays the real-time camera view of the device, and have added following codes that I found thru researching.

    -(void)viewDidLoad{
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker =
[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];

imagePicker.delegate = self;

imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;

imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;

[self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];

[imagePicker release];

}

This only causes SIGABRT error, which I have no clue as to what to do with.

Since the above codes seem like a must to implement camera view, are there additional things that I have missed? Didn’t think simply loading camera view would stress me…
Please help me out.

ps.I’m using xcode 4 btw.

Answer 1

check this before adding

if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) {
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker =
[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];

imagePicker.delegate = self;

imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;

imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;

[self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];

[imagePicker release];

}

else
{
//.....
}
