How to determine if CameraDevice is available?

Question

In my current application, I allowed the user to send the image to the online image service. I allow the user to choose from his photo album or take a picture using the camera.

However, I have a problem. If the device that is being used does not have a camera and the user selects a photo, the application fails. I need to determine if a device has the ability to use CameraDevice.

Below is my current UIActionSheet view code, which allows the user to select various options.

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark UIImagePickerController
- (IBAction)ImagePicker {
UIActionSheet *sheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] 
                        initWithTitle:@"" delegate:self 
                        cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" 
                        destructiveButtonTitle:nil 
                        otherButtonTitles:@"Choose An Existing Photo", @"Take A Photo", nil];
sheet.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleDefault;
[sheet showInView:self.view];
[sheet release];
}

- (void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {

if (buttonIndex == 0) {
    //Okay the UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum displays the 
    NSLog(@"Album");
    UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    picker.delegate = self;
    picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
    [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
    [picker release];

} else if (buttonIndex == 1) {
    NSLog(@"Camera");
    UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    picker.delegate = self;
    picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
    [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
    [picker release];
}
}

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

if (![UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) { NSLog(@"No camera!"); }

- :

NSString* b1 = @"Get from album";
NSString* b2 = nil;

BOOL cameraAvailable = [UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];

if ( cameraAvailable ) {
     b2 = @"Take a photo";   
}

UIActionSheet * sheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle: alertTitle
                                                    delegate: self
                                           cancelButtonTitle: @"Cancel"
                                      destructiveButtonTitle: nil
                                           otherButtonTitles: b1, b2, nil];         
[sheet showInView: self.view];
[sheet release];

I will not forget, I needed to add tags and a new property - a sheet called UIActionSheet. The following code is how I got everything to work, absolutely no problem.

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark UIImagePickerController
- (IBAction)ImagePicker {

if (![UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) {
sheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] 
                        initWithTitle:@"" delegate:self 
                        cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" 
                        destructiveButtonTitle:nil 
                        otherButtonTitles:@"Choose An Existing Photo", nil];
sheet.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleDefault;
[sheet showInView:self.view];
sheet.tag = 0;
[sheet release];
}

else {
    sheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] 
                            initWithTitle:@"" delegate:self 
                            cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" 
                            destructiveButtonTitle:nil 
                            otherButtonTitles:@"Choose An Existing Photo", @"Take A Photo", nil];
    sheet.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleDefault;
    [sheet showInView:self.view];
    sheet.tag = 1;
    [sheet release];
}

}

- (void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {

switch (sheet.tag) {
    case 0:
        if (buttonIndex == 0) {
            //Okay the UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum displays the 
            NSLog(@"Album");
            UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
            picker.delegate = self;
            picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
            [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
            [picker release];

        }
        break;
    case 1:
        if (buttonIndex == 0) {
            //Okay the UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum displays the 
            NSLog(@"Album");
            UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
            picker.delegate = self;
            picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
            [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
            [picker release];

        } else if (buttonIndex == 1) {
            NSLog(@"Camera");
            UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
            picker.delegate = self;
            picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
            [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
            [picker release];
        }
        break;
}
}

I got the best solution; name of the order button and code.

UIActionSheet *actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:nil 
                                                         delegate:self
                                                cancelButtonTitle:nil
                                           destructiveButtonTitle:nil                                                              
                                                otherButtonTitles:nil];
BOOL isCameraAvailable = [UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
if (isCameraAvailable) {
    [actionSheet addButtonWithTitle: NSLocalizedString(@"Take New Photo", @"")];
}
[actionSheet addButtonWithTitle: NSLocalizedString(@"Choose from Library", @"")];
[actionSheet addButtonWithTitle: NSLocalizedString(@"Cancel", @"")];
actionSheet.cancelButtonIndex = actionSheet.numberOfButtons -1;
actionSheet.actionSheetStyle = UIActionSheetStyleDefault;

[actionSheet showInView: self.view];

I hope my answer will be useful for your problem.
