Attempt to present UIViewController on UIViewController whose view is not in the window hierarchy

Question

Just started using Xcode 4.5 and I got this error in the console:

Warning: Attempt to present < finishViewController: 0x1e56e0a0 > on < ViewCont

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I had to embed a navigation controller and present the controller through it. Below is the sample code.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    UIImagePickerController *cameraView = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
    [cameraView setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
    [cameraView setShowsCameraControls:NO];

    UIView *cameraOverlay = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 768, 1024)];
    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"someImage"]];
    [imageView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 768, 1024)];
    [cameraOverlay addSubview:imageView];

    [cameraView setCameraOverlayView:imageView];

    [self.navigationController presentViewController:cameraView animated:NO completion:nil];
//    [self presentViewController:cameraView animated:NO completion:nil]; //this will cause view is not in the window hierarchy error

}
