I'm trying to create an overlay on top of an ImagePicker, and finding I can create the UIView programmatically, but would prefer to use a UIView that I can manipulate within Storyboard.
As you can see from the code snipper below, I've assigned the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate to my ViewController, created the image picker, and have a method for assigning the overlay view that I want. If I try to reference a UIView that is an outlet tied to a UIView that exists in the storyboard, it doesn't appear. If If create it programmatically, all good. How can I assign it to the UIView that I want to drag-drop controls onto in Storyboard?
Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance.
Cheers, Carl
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
// UIView for telemetry data
@IBOutlet weak var telemetryPanel: UIView!
...
override func viewDidAppear(animated:bool) {
...
let cameraImagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
...
// Call method to create a custom overlay for the camera
cameraImagePicker.cameraOverlayView = self.customViewForImagePicker(cameraImagePicker)
}
func customViewForImagePicker(imagePicker: UIImagePickerController!) -> UIView {
// TODO: - Assigning the view to the telemetry panel does not work
// let view:UIView = self.telemetryPanel
// view.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
// view.alpha = 0.25
// return view
// Creating the view programmatically overlays it
let cameraAspectRatio:CGFloat = 4.0 / 3.0;
let screenSize = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size
let imageWidth = floorf(Float(screenSize.width) * Float(cameraAspectRatio))
let view: UIView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, screenSize.height-65, CGFloat(imageWidth), 65))
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
view.alpha = 0.25
return view
}
