Hide tabbar when camera is open

Everyone I am working on a tabbar-based app. I open camera on a screen in order to picture. But when camera is open, i cant see the Take photo button on the bottom. My guess is that the button gets hidden behind the tab bar. If I am right then I need to remove tab bar on the camera screen. Can anyone please tell me how I can remove the tab bar on the camera screen?

I am using this to display the camera:

[self presentModalViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES];

My app is tabbar-based and this code is written in a view controller which is associated with a tab bar item.

if (!imagePickerController) {
imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePickerController.delegate = self;

// If our device has a camera, we want to take a picture, otherwise, we just pick from
// photo library
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])
{
    [imagePickerController setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
}else
{
    [imagePickerController setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary];
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Attention" message:@"Your device does not support taking photos from camera. Redirecting you to Photos Library instead." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alert show];
}

// image picker needs a delegate so we can respond to its messages
imagePickerController.delegate = self;
}
// Place image picker on the screen
[self presentModalViewController:imagePickerController ani开发者_开发技巧mated:YES];

Present the image-picker controller from the tab-bar controller instead of the view controller it contains. In other words:

[self.tabBarController presentModalViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES];

---

try this:

[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate window] rootViewController] presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];

Set frame size to full for modal view so that it covers up the whole screen - Dimensions ~ (0,0,320,460)

imagePicker.view.frame = CGRectMake (0,0,320,460);
