UIImageView does not load UIImage from Camera

[Unicyclist]

Hi!

I defined the following property in my subclass of UIViewController called ExperimentViewController:

@property (nonatomic, retain) UIImage *store;

which i used to hold the camera image from the iphone camera with

-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *) info {
	store = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
	[picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
	
}

The problem comes about when I try to set UIImageView *imageView to store in a subClass of ExperimentViewController with in the viewDidLoad of the subClass

imageView.image = store;

The image does not come out at all. However, using the nib to set imageView to a png in my resources works out fine.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

i want to know when ececuting this line:
imageView.image = store;

whether is the "store" nil or not?

Hi huaren!

Thanks for the quick reply.
My apologies, I'm pretty new to iPhone programming. How do I check if store is nil?

I noticed that when I use the code

imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:"something.png"];

where "something.png" is a png in my resources folder, the image loads fine. However, this

imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:store];

does not work.

I am having the same exact problem. Did you ever figure this out?

This will work because [UIImage imageNamed:] method return a UIIMage object
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:"something.png"];

if store is a UIImage variable and it is assigned in imagePickerController's delegate method then the code should be like this imageView.image = store;

this will not work.
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:store];

I quoted the wrong post, I was referring to the original post. Here is my code:

Note: this works when selecting an image from the camera roll, but not for a new picture taken with the camera. "image" is not null in either case.

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark UIImagePickerControllerDelegate
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
	
	UIImage *image = [info valueForKey:@"UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage"];
	
	// Display our image 
		_imageView0.image = image;
	
	[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
	
}

Try this:

 UIImage* img = (UIImage*)[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
 if( !img) img = (UIImage*)[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];

imageView.image = img;

imageView.image = img;

I will try that when I get home. I have tried using both Edited and Original, but not checking for it and assigning.
