DBCamera

DBCamera is a simple custom camera with AVFoundation.

##Getting Started

Installation

The recommended approach for installating DBCamera is via the CocoaPods package manager, as it provides flexible dependency management and dead simple installation. For best results, it is recommended that you install via CocoaPods >= 0.16.0 using Git >= 1.8.0 installed via Homebrew.

via CocoaPods

Install CocoaPods if not already available:

$ [sudo] gem install cocoapods
$ pod setup

Change to the directory of your Xcode project, and Create and Edit your Podfile and add DBCamera:

$ cd /path/to/MyProject
$ touch Podfile
$ edit Podfile
platform :ios, '6.0'
pod 'DBCamera', '~> 2.0'

Install into your project:

$ pod install

Open your project in Xcode from the .xcworkspace file (not the usual project file)

$ open MyProject.xcworkspace

via Apache Cordova

DBCamera is available for use as an apache cordova plugin for ios. Visit Cordova-DBCamera for more.

Integration

DBCamera has a simple integration:

#import "DBCameraViewController.h"
#import "DBCameraContainer.h"

//Add DBCameraViewControllerDelegate protocol
@interface RootViewController () <DBCameraViewControllerDelegate>

//Present DBCameraViewController with different behaviours

- (void) openCamera
{
    DBCameraContainerViewController *cameraContainer = [[DBCameraContainerViewController alloc] initWithDelegate:self];
    UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:cameraContainer];
    [nav setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
    [self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];
}

- (void) openCameraWithoutSegue
{
    DBCameraContainerViewController *container = [[DBCameraContainerViewController alloc] initWithDelegate:self];
    DBCameraViewController *cameraController = [DBCameraViewController initWithDelegate:self];
    [cameraController setUseCameraSegue:NO];
    [container setCameraViewController:cameraController];
    UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:container];
    [nav setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
    [self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];
}

- (void) openCameraWithoutContainer
{
    UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:[DBCameraViewController initWithDelegate:self]];
    [nav setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
    [self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];
}

//Use your captured image
#pragma mark - DBCameraViewControllerDelegate

- (void) captureImageDidFinish:(UIImage *)image withMetadata:(NSDictionary *)metadata
{
    [_imageView setImage:image];
    [self.presentedViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

By default, DBCameraViewController has another controller to display the image preview. When you create DBCameraViewController instance, you can set useCameraSegue: NO, to avoid it.

- (void) openCameraWithoutSegue
{
    DBCameraContainerViewController *container = [[DBCameraContainerViewController alloc] initWithDelegate:self];
    DBCameraViewController *cameraController = [DBCameraViewController initWithDelegate:self];
    [cameraController setUseCameraSegue:NO];
    [container setCameraViewController:cameraController];
    UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:container];
    [nav setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
    [self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];
}

Customizing the camera

Basic

For simple customizations, you can customize the built-in camera view by sending a cameraSettingsBlock to the view controller.

#import "DBCameraView.h"
- (void)openCameraWithSettings:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
{
    DBCameraContainerViewController *cameraContainer = [[DBCameraContainerViewController alloc]
        initWithDelegate:self
        cameraSettingsBlock:^(DBCameraView *cameraView) {
            [cameraView.gridButton setHidden:YES];
        }];

    UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:cameraContainer];
    [nav setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
    [self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];
}

Advanced

You can also create a custom interface, using a subclass of DBCameraView

#import "DBCameraView.h"

@interface CustomCamera : DBCameraView
- (void) buildInterface;
@end

#import "CustomCamera.h"

@interface CustomCamera ()
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIButton *closeButton;
@property (nonatomic, strong) CALayer *focusBox, *exposeBox;
@end

@implementation CustomCamera

- (void) buildInterface
{
    [self addSubview:self.closeButton];

    [self.previewLayer addSublayer:self.focusBox];
    [self.previewLayer addSublayer:self.exposeBox];

    [self createGesture];
}

- (UIButton *) closeButton
{
    if ( !_closeButton ) {
        _closeButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
        [_closeButton setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
        [_closeButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"close"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        [_closeButton setFrame:(CGRect){ CGRectGetMidX(self.bounds) - 15, 17.5f, 30, 30 }];
        [_closeButton addTarget:self action:@selector(close) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    }

    return _closeButton;
}

- (void) close
{
    if ( [self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(closeCamera)] )
        [self.delegate closeCamera];
}

#pragma mark - Focus / Expose Box

- (CALayer *) focusBox
{
    if ( !_focusBox ) {
        _focusBox = [[CALayer alloc] init];
        [_focusBox setCornerRadius:45.0f];
        [_focusBox setBounds:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 90, 90)];
        [_focusBox setBorderWidth:5.f];
        [_focusBox setBorderColor:[[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor]];
        [_focusBox setOpacity:0];
    }

    return _focusBox;
}

- (CALayer *) exposeBox
{
    if ( !_exposeBox ) {
        _exposeBox = [[CALayer alloc] init];
        [_exposeBox setCornerRadius:55.0f];
        [_exposeBox setBounds:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 110, 110)];
        [_exposeBox setBorderWidth:5.f];
        [_exposeBox setBorderColor:[[UIColor redColor] CGColor]];
        [_exposeBox setOpacity:0];
    }

    return _exposeBox;
}

- (void) drawFocusBoxAtPointOfInterest:(CGPoint)point andRemove:(BOOL)remove
{
    [super draw:_focusBox atPointOfInterest:point andRemove:remove];
}

- (void) drawExposeBoxAtPointOfInterest:(CGPoint)point andRemove:(BOOL)remove
{
    [super draw:_exposeBox atPointOfInterest:point andRemove:remove];
}

@end

//Present DBCameraViewController with a custom view.
@interface RootViewController () <DBCameraViewControllerDelegate>

- (void) openCustomCamera
{
    CustomCamera *camera = [CustomCamera initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    [camera buildInterface];

    UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:[[DBCameraViewController alloc] initWithDelegate:self cameraView:camera]];
    [nav setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
    [self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];
}
