I am trying to add a cameraOverlayView on a UIImagePickerController, but I want the overlay to cover just the part of the screen that shows what will be captured by the camera, not the "Cancel" button, take photo button, flash settings, or anything like that. How can I dynamically determine what the frame of the UIImageView of my overlay should be?
I've attached an image to illustrate exactly the section I'm talking about.
you can use AVCamCaptureManager to get overlay which cover just the part of the screen that shows what will be captured by the camera only , not buttons
AVCamCaptureManager is not a class in any iOS framework.
i had same situation, what i did, i created an UIImageView like follow:
myview = [[UIImageView alloc]init];
myview.frame = CGRectMake(0, 68, 320, 430);
// note that these frames were as per my needs, you can manipulate them as per yours.
then add this image view as
myImagePicker.cameraOverlayView = myview;
try this with setting some background color and check whether its covering entire camera part or not, you would just need to set frames, thats all!!!
And yes it does work!
frame is the solution. What I'm wondering is how to dynamically calculate the frame, as opposed to just figuring out magic numbers.
