I am using back camera to read bar code data...and it is scanning perfectly.Now I want to use front camera for this...How can I do this? Where should I make change?I have used ZBar bar code reader
my code is:
- (IBAction) scanButtonTapped
{
// ADD: present a barcode reader that scans from the camera feed
ZBarReaderViewController *reader = [ZBarReaderViewController new];
reader.readerDelegate = self;
reader.supportedOrientationsMask = ZBarOrientationMaskAll;
ZBarImageScanner *scanner = reader.scanner;
// TODO: (optional) additional reader configuration here
// EXAMPLE: disable rarely used I2/5 to improve performance
[scanner setSymbology: ZBAR_I25
config: ZBAR_CFG_ENABLE
to: 0];
// present and release the controller
[self presentModalViewController: reader
animated: YES];
[reader release];
}
- (void) imagePickerController: (UIImagePickerController*) reader
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: (NSDictionary*) info
{
// ADD: get the decode results
id<NSFastEnumeration> results =
[info objectForKey: ZBarReaderControllerResults];
ZBarSymbol *symbol = nil;
for(symbol in results)
// EXAMPLE: just grab the first barcode
break;
// EXAMPLE: do something useful with the barcode data
resultText.text = symbol.data;
bid.text=symbol.data;
// EXAMPLE: do something useful with the barcode image
resultImage.image =
[info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
// ADD: dismiss the controller (NB dismiss from the *reader*!)
[reader dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: YES];
}
If I understand your question correctly, all you have to do is open your Camera to be in Front Mode instead of Rear Mode, so write this inside the method where you call the picker for the first time:
picker.cameraDevice=UIImagePickerControllerCameraDeviceFront;
Hope this answers your question. If not, tell me.
