I am making QR scanner. My code is working when all of it written in one place inside ViewController but when I modularised it then I am not getting callback inside AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate.
import Foundation
import UIKit
import AVFoundation
class CameraSource : NSObject {
private var session : AVCaptureSession?
private var inputDevice : AVCaptureDeviceInput?
private var videoPreviewLayer : AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer?
private var captureMetadataOutput : AVCaptureMetadataOutput?
func setCaptureMetadataOutput() {
self.captureMetadataOutput = nil
self.captureMetadataOutput = AVCaptureMetadataOutput()
}
func getCaptureMetadataOutput() -> AVCaptureMetadataOutput? {
return self.captureMetadataOutput
}
func setInputDevice(inputDevice : AVCaptureDeviceInput?) {
self.inputDevice = inputDevice
}
func getInputDevice() -> AVCaptureDeviceInput? {
return self.inputDevice
}
func setSession(session : AVCaptureSession?) {
self.session = session
}
func getSession() -> AVCaptureSession? {
return self.session
}
func setMetadataObjects(metaObjects : [AVMetadataObject.ObjectType], delegate : AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate) {
assert(self.captureMetadataOutput != nil)
self.captureMetadataOutput!.setMetadataObjectsDelegate(delegate, queue: DispatchQueue.main)
self.captureMetadataOutput!.metadataObjectTypes = metaObjects
}
func initViewoPreviewLayer(videoGravity : AVLayerVideoGravity, orientation : AVCaptureVideoOrientation) {
assert(session != nil)
videoPreviewLayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: session!)
videoPreviewLayer!.videoGravity = videoGravity
videoPreviewLayer!.connection!.videoOrientation = orientation
}
func addVideoLayerToImageView(imageView : UIImageView) {
assert(self.videoPreviewLayer != nil)
imageView.layer.addSublayer(self.videoPreviewLayer!)
self.videoPreviewLayer!.frame = imageView.bounds
}
func startSession() {
assert(session != nil)
self.session!.startRunning()
}

}
assert(cameraSource.getInputDevice() != nil && cameraSource.getSession()!.canAddInput(cameraSource.getInputDevice()!))
cameraSource.getSession()!.addInput(cameraSource.getInputDevice()!)
}
}
}
My QR scanner Code looks like
import UIKit
import Foundation
import AVFoundation
protocol QRScannerDelegate {
func scannedData(_ scannedString : String)
}
class QRScanner : NSObject {
private var cameraSource : CameraSource?
var delegate : QRScannerDelegate?
func prepareCamera (delegate : QRScannerDelegate) throws -> QRScanner {
do {
self.delegate = delegate
self.cameraSource = try CameraSource
.Builder()
.createSession()
.setSessionPreset(preset: .photo)
.attachInputDevice(camera: CameraSource.getBackCamera())
.addOutputToSessionForMetaData()
self.cameraSource!.setMetadataObjects(metaObjects: [.qr], delegate: self as AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate)
} catch let err as NSError {
print(err.localizedDescription)
self.cameraSource = nil
throw AppErrorCode.cameraError("Unable to process camera with one or more issue")
}
return self
}
func initViewoPreviewLayer(videoGravity : AVLayerVideoGravity, orientation : AVCaptureVideoOrientation) -> QRScanner{
assert(cameraSource != nil)
self.cameraSource!.initViewoPreviewLayer(videoGravity: videoGravity, orientation: orientation)
return self
}
func addVideoLayerToImageView(imageView : UIImageView) -> QRScanner{
assert(cameraSource != nil)
self.cameraSource!.addVideoLayerToImageView(imageView: imageView)
return self
}
func startSession() {
assert(cameraSource != nil)
self.cameraSource!.startSession()
}
}
extension QRScanner : AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate {
func metadataOutput(_ output: AVCaptureMetadataOutput, didOutput metadataObjects: [AVMetadataObject], from connection: AVCaptureConnection) {
print("Delegate called")
if metadataObjects.count == 0 {
self.delegate?.scannedData("No Data")
} else {
let metadataObj = metadataObjects[0] as! AVMetadataMachineReadableCodeObject
if metadataObj.type == AVMetadataObject.ObjectType.qr {
if metadataObj.stringValue != nil {
print("Scanner Getting data: \(metadataObj.stringValue!)")
self.delegate?.scannedData(metadataObj.stringValue!)
}
}
}
}
}
I have implemented the QRScannerDelegate in my ViewController but I am not getting anything in there. Moreover I am not getting callback inside AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate even.
I tried passing the ViewController instance as AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate then I was getting callback with the scanned info.
So My question is why is this happening?
1) When I am passing normal class as AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate I am not getting callback. But.
2) Whe I am passing UIViewController instance as AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate then I am able to get callback.
UPDATE
This is how I am calling prepareCamera from my View Controller
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
do {
try QRScanner().prepareCamera(delegate: self)
.initViewoPreviewLayer(videoGravity: .resizeAspectFill, orientation: .portrait)
.addVideoLayerToImageView(imageView: self.qrScannerImageView)
.startSession()
} catch {
print("Some Camera Error")
}
self.createOverlay()
}
