How customizable is the UIImagePickerController interface?

[scotopia]

Hello All,

I was just curious how customizable the UIImagePickerController interface is (and how do I achieve the alterations). Basically I want it is simple as possible; is there any way I can remove the "Take Picture" thing at the top (or alter the text); and is there anyway I can change the text on the buttons (for instance say "return" instead of "cancel" etc. Any help you can offer would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Edit: I've seen customization like this: http://www.codza.com/custom-uiimagep...er-camera-view but I would like to keep my app as approval-friendly as possible.

As for specifics what I really want is, when the camera is pulled up, the only thing there being a button at the bottom that says return (to dismiss the camera). No "take picture" button, no anything else. Thanks.

You could iterate through the items in the view and try to customize it that way. I have never tried it.

Thats what the guy in the link above does; I think I can reproduce what he did; but it seems to be rejection-worthy.

I was just wondering what parameters are customizable in acceptable/documented ways. I see a few parameters in the class notes; but I also have seen things like Rick, for instance, telling someone how to customize the toolbar etc, when I didn't see that in the class notes.

Sooner or later you are going to have to step outside of the box and try something on the border line.

I'm already there, lol. I've modified the code from that project to look they way I want. I was just curious if there was a documented way of doing this.

You are not breaking any of their rules by modifying this. You are not using undocumented frameworks or features. You are simply using the knowledge of object oriented programming to know that a parent class has an array of views. Nothing rejection worthy in there.

Sweet. I got this looking the way I want, and presenting, relinquishing on command as desired; now I gotta work on the next part: programatically taking a picture.

I think there is no way to reproduce the same effect as pushing the green camera button...but I guess I can save the context of the imagepicker...though that will be lower resolution I think...

Lajos Kamocsay, the author of the above blog post has three apps that seem to use this technique in the store. So like tkilmer says you're safe.
