I really need help here. I'm pretty new to iOS/Objective-C so sorry if the problem resolution is obvious or if my code is terrible. Be easy on me!! :-)
I'm struggling to integrate ZBarSDK for reading QR Codes into an iPad app i'm building. If I use ZBarReaderController (of which there are plenty of tutorials and guides on implementing), it works fine. However I want to make the camera come up in a
UIView as opposed to the fullscreen camera.
Now I have gotten as far as making the camera view (readerView) come up in the
UIView (ZBarReaderView) as expected, but I get an error when it scans a code. The error does not come up until a code is scanned making me believe this is either delegate related or something else.
Here's the important parts of my code: (ZBarSDK.h is imported at the PCH file)
SignInViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
@class AVCaptureSession, AVCaptureDevice;
@interface SignInViewController : UIViewController
< ZBarReaderDelegate >
{
ZBarReaderView *readerView;
UITextView *resultText;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIImagePickerController *imgPicker;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextView *resultText;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet ZBarReaderView *readerView;
-(IBAction)StartScan:(id) sender;
SignInViewController.m
#import "SignInViewController.h"
@interface SignInViewController ()
@end
@implementation SignInViewController
@synthesize resultText, readerView;
-(IBAction)StartScan:(id) sender
{
readerView = [ZBarReaderView new];
readerView.readerDelegate = self;
readerView.tracksSymbols = NO;
readerView.frame = CGRectMake(30,70,230,230);
readerView.torchMode = 0;
readerView.device = [self frontFacingCameraIfAvailable];
ZBarImageScanner *scanner = readerView.scanner;
[scanner setSymbology: ZBAR_I25
config: ZBAR_CFG_ENABLE
to: 0];
[self relocateReaderPopover:[self interfaceOrientation]];
[readerView start];
[self.view addSubview: readerView];
resultText.hidden=NO;
}
- (void) readerControllerDidFailToRead: (ZBarReaderController*) reader
withRetry: (BOOL) retry{
NSLog(@"the image picker failing to read");
}
- (void) imagePickerController: (UIImagePickerController*) reader didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: (NSDictionary*) info
{
NSLog(@"the image picker is calling successfully %@",info);
id<NSFastEnumeration> results = [info objectForKey: ZBarReaderControllerResults];
ZBarSymbol *symbol = nil;
NSString *hiddenData;
for(symbol in results)
hiddenData=[NSString stringWithString:symbol.data];
NSLog(@"the symbols is the following %@",symbol.data);
resultText.text=symbol.data;
NSLog(@"BARCODE= %@",symbol.data);
NSLog(@"SYMBOL : %@",hiddenData);
resultText.text=hiddenData;
}
The error I get when a code is scanned:
2012-12-16 14:28:32.797 QRTestApp[7970:907] -[SignInViewController readerView:didReadSymbols:fromImage:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1e88b1c0
2012-12-16 14:28:32.799 QRTestApp[7970:907] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[SignInViewController readerView:didReadSymbols:fromImage:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1e88b1c0'
I'm not too worried about what happens with the results just yet, just want to get over this error. Took me ages just to get the camera to come up in the
UIView due to severe lack of tutorial or documentation on ZBarReaderView (for beginners anyway). Thanks all.
