Question

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


    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

    UIImage *image = [info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];

    if(imageView1.image == nil){
        imageView1.image = image;
    }
    else if(imageView2.image == nil){
        imageView2.image = image;
    }
    else if(imageView3.image == nil){
        imageView3.image = image;
    }

    //pickedImage = TRUE;
}

I have this code and it never go to the second “if else” statement.
Although it assigns the image to imageView1, next time the imageView1.image is still null.
What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have two solutions now.

1.Try this

UIImage *image = [info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];

use “valueForKey” instead of objectForKey

2. You have to dismiss and release the UIImagePickerController before you try to do anything with the info dictionary. To be super-clear:

This WILL NOT WORK:

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

  myUIImageView.image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];


  [picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
  [picker release];
}

THIS WILL WORK

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

  [picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
  [picker release];


  myUIImageView.image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];

        if(imageView1.image == nil){
            imageView1.image = image;
        }
        else if(imageView2.image == nil){
          imageView2.image = image;
        }
       else if(imageView3.image == nil){
        imageView3.image = image;
      }             
}
