How to take multiple pictures before dismissing camera picker

Question

I want to be able to present the camera picker, and take multiple pictures before dismissing the modal view. I would also like to display how many pictures the user has taken before the view is dismissed. Is this possible? I'm aware that I would have to use an overlay for the image count, but I don't know how to take multiple pictures before dismissing it. I can't seem to find any information on it. Thanks.

Answer 1

Take a look at takePicture method of UIImagePickerController which programatically initiates still image capture.

You can initiate additional captures after receiving imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: delegate callback.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

PhotoPicker is a sample project provided by Apple which does exactly what you are talking about. It even allows you to make your own custom OverlayViewController to display the extra features. Hope that Helps!
