How to use UIImagePickerController along with UITabBar in iPhone

Question

Hi,

I am using TabBarController in my application. In one of the view of the tabbar I am using a UIImagePickerController to pick an image.

When I add the picker as follows

UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];

imagePicker.delegate = self;

imagePicker.editing = YES;

 [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
 [imagePicker release];

It adds the picker, But at the time of choosing the photo, The bottom bar having the buttons "choose" and "cancel" gets hide under my tabbar. How to resolve this .

Answer 1

I haven't seen this problem - I have an app that uses a UITabBar and a UIImagePickerController together, and the tab bar does not obscure the image picker.

Inside my view controller, which is one of the UITabBar's view controllers, I'm creating the image picker as such:

self.imagePicker = [[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init] autorelease];
imagePicker.allowsImageEditing = NO;
imagePicker.delegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];

Seems very similar to your code, except that I'm setting the image picker as a retained property. Is your tab bar set up correctly? Is the view controller contained within the myTabBar.viewControllers array?
