How do I customize the toolbar in the iPhone camera

[drisse]

Hi,

I've created a camera application for iPhone and now I sit and polish the last of it. My application is a collage application where the user can take multiple pictures in a row.

As it is today I have a customized camera view that contains one UIButton for taking the pictures and one UIButton for getting back to the main view. Now I want to replace these buttons with a toolbar.

The problem is that my application is design for landscape orientation and the camera control can only show in portrait mode. This makes the design of the GUI a little bit tricky and I now want to move away from having the buttons in the view to having them placed in a toolbar. When you initialize the camera (UIImagePickerController) you can set a bunch of different parameters and one of them is UIImagePickerController.toolbarHidden. If I set the value to NO it will show an empty toolbar and my question here is, how do I add items to this toolbar?

I've tried different solutions such as [self setToolbarItemsNSArray*)], [self.toolbar setItemsNSArray*)] etc. etc. without any luck.

All help is appreciated!
Regards, drisse

Just add a toolbar to your overlay view.

Yeah I've done that but there is a problem with that that I can't get around.

My application is designed for landscape orientation and is build up with three view controllers that I switch between using a navigation controller. So when I start my application I start in landscape where the user can choose among a bunch of different collages. Then when the user taps on the "camera" button I switch to the view controller that owns the UIImagePickerController/camera and here's the problem. The camera view does not support landscape orientation (from what I know) but for some reason the overlay view ends up in landscape in portrait, do you understand what I mean? The overlay view covers only half of the screen. I don't know how to change the overlay view to fit the screen.

Any idea on how to solve this or the other problem?

Might need to set your autoresizing masks.
