Problem opening new ViewController after UIImagePickerController

Question

I am trying to open up a new view (UnprocessedPhotoViewController) immediately after the delegate function for my UIImagePickerController returns a \"didFinishPickingImage\".

Answer 1

Implement viewDidAppear in your root view controller and based on member data decide to call showPhoto or not. The following example simply re-presents the UIImagePicker but any new modal view will work. viewDidAppear is called any time your root view controller’s view appears so you have to make sure the context is known when it is called. But it is the deterministic way to know that the modal view controller is gone.

- (IBAction) showPicker: (id) sender
{
    UIImagePickerController* picker = [[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init] autorelease];
    picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
    picker.delegate = self;
    picker.allowsEditing = YES;

    [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
    imageChosen = YES;

    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
{
    imageChosen = NO;

    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

- (void) viewDidAppear: (BOOL) animated
{
    if ( imageChosen )
    {
        [self showPicker: self];
    }
}
