Answer 1

great information. To add a little to what Raghu did:

up top:

UIImagePicker *_imagePicker;

//inside your take a picture method
UIToolbar *toolBar=[[UIToolbar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 100)];
toolBar.barStyle =  UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
NSArray *items=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel  target:self action:@selector(cancelPicker)],
                [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace  target:nil action:nil],
                [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCamera  target:self action:@selector(shootPicture)],
                [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace  target:nil action:nil],
                [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace  target:nil action:nil],
                nil];
[toolBar setItems:items];
toolBar.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];



UIImageView *tp=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height-100, self.view.frame.size.width, 100)];

tp.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
tp.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];

[tp addSubview:toolBar]; //add the toolbar to the uiimageview

_imagePicker=[[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
_imagePicker.sourceType=UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
_imagePicker.delegate = self;
_imagePicker.showsCameraControls=NO;  //we will make custom controls.
[_imagePicker.view addSubview:tp];



-(void)cancelPicker{
//get rid of the image picker
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil]; //dismiss uiimagepicker
_imagePicker=nil;
}

//take the picture, it will then go directly to - (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info method
-(void)shootPicture{
[_imagePicker takePicture];
}
