Force a layer not to rotate in a tabbar
I have a tabBar app. One of the tabs has a
AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer
, I display in it a camera for reading barcodes. When I rotate the screen, everything rotate (tabbar and image of the camera). What I would like to get is a static image of the camera (disable its rotation) and a tabbar rotating when I rotate the screen.This is how I add the layer of the camera to the tabBar:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()
self.captureSession = AVCaptureSession()
// This object represents a physical capture device and the properties associated with that device
let videoCaptureDevice = AVCaptureDevice.defaultDeviceWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo)
// Is useful for capturing the data from the input device
let videoInput: AVCaptureDeviceInput
do {
videoInput = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: videoCaptureDevice)
} catch {
self.failed();
return
}
if (self.captureSession.canAddInput(videoInput)) {
self.captureSession.addInput(videoInput)
} else {
self.failed();
return;
}
let metadataOutput = AVCaptureMetadataOutput()
if (self.captureSession.canAddOutput(metadataOutput)) {
self.captureSession.addOutput(metadataOutput)
metadataOutput.setMetadataObjectsDelegate(self, queue: dispatch_get_main_queue())
metadataOutput.metadataObjectTypes = [AVMetadataObjectTypeEAN8Code, AVMetadataObjectTypeEAN13Code, AVMetadataObjectTypePDF417Code,
AVMetadataObjectTypeUPCECode, AVMetadataObjectTypeCode39Code,
AVMetadataObjectTypeCode39Mod43Code, AVMetadataObjectTypeCode93Code,
AVMetadataObjectTypeCode128Code]
} else {
self.failed()
return
}
// Adds the preview layer to display the captured data. Sets the videoGravity to AspectFill so that it covers the full screen
self.previewLayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: self.captureSession);
self.previewLayer.frame = self.view.layer.bounds;
self.previewLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill;
self.view.layer.addSublayer(self.previewLayer)
self.captureSession.startRunning();
}
