UIImageView does not show Image from UIImagePickerController

Question

I am trying to take a picture with my app and then show it in a UIImageView that is predefined in my .xib. I have a IBOutlet UIImageView *_foto that is linked to the UIImageView

Answer 1

Artur Ozierański's answer is partially correct.

If you're using viewDidLayoutSubviews() to configure your layout, this gets called when the picker disappears, so if you're setting the default image in viewDidLayoutSubviews(), you'll reset back to the default image.

Configure the default image in viewDidLoad.

Answer 2

UIImagePickerController grab a lot of device memory while picking an image. During - (void) imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)image editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo I've noticed many times memory warnings level 1 and 2. It may cause force unload and reload your view, launch viewDidLoad method of your view controller again. If your _foto object is an IBOutlet it will be removed from memory and load again with start values of all properties (image too). Also if you set image to nil in viewDidLoad it may be a reason.

Put some NSLog into viewDidLoad to check out if it is relaunched. Also you may try to put captured image into library - if image exists in library the problem probably is in view unloading.
