iphone: displaying small, live camera image in window (2)

Question

I am having a great deal of trouble displaying at small, live camera image in a viewController.

I would have expected the following code to show camera display to appear in a 100x 100 window, but it keeps appearing full screen!

Help appreciated.

camera = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];

UIView *cameraHUD = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
cameraHUD.userInteractionEnabled = YES;

[camera setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
camera.showsCameraControls = NO;
camera.navigationBarHidden = YES;
camera.toolbarHidden = YES;

camera.cameraOverlayView = cameraHUD;
[self presentModalViewController:camera animated:YES];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:cameraHUD];

Answer 1

You are present a new view instead of your actual view, so by default a new UIView has contentmode= scale to fill. You have to add for example something like:

[camera setContentMode:UIViewContentModeTopLeft];

But if you want do something cool you have to add your Camera View as subview. I hope it can help you bye ;)
