I'd appreciate if someone with iOS bluetooth experience could show me how to take pictures on other iOS devices using bluetooth classes. This app lets users login/register and afterwards take and upload pics. http://www.raywenderlich.com/13511/how-to-create-an-app-like-instagram-with-a-web-service-backend-part-12 My goal is to, on tap of a user photo in the apps uiscrollview (which displays all uploaded photos), activate the snapStillImage
method of AVFoundation below.
//this code takes a picture
- (void)snapStillImage //this takes a picture via [self snapStillImage] in viewDidLoad
{
dispatch_async([self sessionQueue], ^{
// Update the orientation on the still image output video connection before capturing.
[[[self stillImageOutput] connectionWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] setVideoOrientation:[[(AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer *)[[self previewView] layer] connection] videoOrientation]];
// Flash set to Auto for Still Capture
[ViewController5 setFlashMode:AVCaptureFlashModeAuto forDevice:[[self videoDeviceInput] device]];
// Capture a still image.
[[self stillImageOutput] captureStillImageAsynchronouslyFromConnection:[[self stillImageOutput] connectionWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] completionHandler:^(CMSampleBufferRef imageDataSampleBuffer, NSError *error) {
if (imageDataSampleBuffer)
{
NSData *imageData = [AVCaptureStillImageOutput jpegStillImageNSDataRepresentation:imageDataSampleBuffer];
photo.image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:imageData];
[[[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init] writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum:[photo.image CGImage] orientation:(ALAssetOrientation)[photo.image imageOrientation] completionBlock:nil];
[self uploadPhoto];
}
}];
});
}
Id imagine every user would need to become a central/peripheral at login? I have 0 experience with setting up BLE on iOS let alone equipped with server functions. Any ideas or tips would be awesome.
