    if(mediaPicker.sourceType == UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary){
        let button = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Take picture", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: self, action: "showCamera")
        viewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = button
    }else{
        let button = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Choose picture", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: self, action: "choosePicture")
        viewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = button
        viewController.navigationController?.navigationBarHidden = false
        viewController.navigationController?.navigationBar.translucent = true
    }
}

func showCamera(){
    mediaPicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera
}

func choosePicture(){
    mediaPicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary
}
