I am using ZBar Bar Code Reader for iOS 5.0 and above in my iOS App.
I have made info button hidden using following code on Camera Interface.
UIView * infoButton= infoButton = [[[[[reader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:1] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews] objectAtIndex:2];
[infoButton setHidden:YES];
But somehow this code doesn't work for iOS6.0 and Above.
Try this code, this worked for me on iOS5.0 and above.
float currentVersion = 5.1;
float sysVersion = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue];
UIView * infoButton;
if (sysVersion > currentVersion)
infoButton = [[[[[reader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:1] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews] objectAtIndex:3];
else
infoButton = [[[[[reader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:1] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews] objectAtIndex:2];
[infoButton setHidden:YES];
Explanation.
In iOS 6.0, If you print the log.
NSLog(@"%@",[[[[reader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:1] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews]);
Output.
"<_UIToolbarBackground: 0xa0991c0; frame = (0 0; 320 54); autoresize = W; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0xa0795e0>>",
"<UIImageView: 0xa05d630; frame = (0 -3; 320 3); opaque = NO; autoresize = W+BM; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0xa05cfb0>>",
"<UIToolbarTextButton: 0xa0a8cc0; frame = (6 0; 60 54); opaque = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0xa0a9460>>",
"<UIButton: 0xa0960e0; frame = (290 18; 18 19); opaque = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0xa0615a0>>
in iOS 5.0, If you print the log.
NSLog(@"%@",[[[[reader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:1] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews]);
Output.
"<_UIToolbarBackground: 0x8d9df90; frame = (0 0; 320 54); userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x8dc12c0>> - (null)",
"<UIToolbarTextButton: 0x8de5ae0; frame = (6 0; 60 54); opaque = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x8de5db0>>",
"<UIButton: 0x8d1b110; frame = (290 18; 18 19); opaque = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x8dba2b0>>"
Hence for iOS 6.0 and above it should be object at index 3 since there is an extra view UIImageView.
With the last version of ZBar I solded this problem with another path:
UIView * infoButton = [[[[[reader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:2] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews] objectAtIndex:3];
[infoButton setHidden:YES];
The array keys are changed to [2] [0] [3]
Try this code :
UIView * infoButton = [[[[[reader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:1] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews] objectAtIndex:3];
[infoButton setHidden:YES];
For me, the path to the button was a bit different, so here is my solution :
Get the button :
UIButton *cancelButton = [[[[[reader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:2] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews] objectAtIndex:2] subviews] objectAtIndex:0];
And hide it :
[cancelButton setHidden:YES];
Or do whatever with this button, I needed to translate it :
[cancelButton setTitle:@"キャンセル" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
Another hack.
I didn't want to rely on only the views and subviews index, very prone to be changed.
So I access the toolbar where the info button is inserted, and remove the appropriate UIBarButtonItem
.
Create a subclass of ZBarReaderViewController:
@interface ZBarReaderViewControllerWithoutInfoButton : ZBarReaderViewController
@end
@implementation ZBarReaderViewControllerWithoutInfoButton
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
// Accessing the toolbar
UIToolbar *toolbar = [[controls subviews] firstObject];
// Only keeping the first two items of the toolbar, thus deleting the info button
if ([toolbar isKindOfClass:UIToolbar.class]) {
toolbar.items = @[ toolbar.items[0], toolbar.items[1] ];
}
}
@end
Do not forget to instantiate this new subclass ([ZBarReaderViewControllerWithoutInfoButton new]
instead of ``[ZBarReaderViewController new]`) when presenting the scanner view controller.
Before:
After:
New solutions for new devices, as in iOS10 this Buttons its 2 instead of index3, here is the code with the before solution applied.
float currentVersion = 5.1;
float sysVersion = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue];
UIView * infoButton;
if (sysVersion > currentVersion && sysVersion < 10 )
infoButton = [[[[[self.scanReader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:2] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews] objectAtIndex:3];
else
infoButton = [[[[[self.scanReader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:2] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews] objectAtIndex:1];
[infoButton setHidden:YES];
Hope it helps, regards
Not excatly what you asked for, but to remove the whole bar at the bottom of the screen you can use
reader.showsZBarControls = NO;
Here is the working code block.
float currentVersion = 5.1;
float sysVersion = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue];
UIView * infoButton;
if (sysVersion > currentVersion && sysVersion < 10 )
infoButton = [[[[[codeReader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:1] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews] objectAtIndex:3];
else
infoButton = [[[[[codeReader.view.subviews objectAtIndex:1] subviews] objectAtIndex:0] subviews] objectAtIndex:1];
[infoButton setHidden:YES];
