iOS Correctly stop AVCaptureSession

Viewed 19441

i got a problem while testing the new barcode scanning api in iOS 7. This example (single view application) works fine, but i want to stop the AVCaptureSession and show the first view after an EAN code is recognized by the camera.

[self.captureSession startRunning]; does not work.

How do i correctly stop the AVCaptureSession?

#import "ViewController.h"
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

@interface ViewController ()  <AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate>

@property (strong) AVCaptureSession *captureSession;

@end

@implementation ViewController


- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.captureSession = [[AVCaptureSession alloc] init];
    AVCaptureDevice *videoCaptureDevice = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];
    NSError *error = nil;
    AVCaptureDeviceInput *videoInput = [AVCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice:videoCaptureDevice error:&error];
    if(videoInput)
        [self.captureSession addInput:videoInput];
    else
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);

    AVCaptureMetadataOutput *metadataOutput = [[AVCaptureMetadataOutput alloc] init];
    [self.captureSession addOutput:metadataOutput];
    [metadataOutput setMetadataObjectsDelegate:self queue:dispatch_get_main_queue()];
    [metadataOutput setMetadataObjectTypes:@[AVMetadataObjectTypeQRCode, AVMetadataObjectTypeEAN13Code]];

    AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer *previewLayer = [[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer alloc] initWithSession:self.captureSession];
    previewLayer.frame = self.view.layer.bounds;
    [self.view.layer addSublayer:previewLayer];

    [self.captureSession startRunning];

}

- (void)captureOutput:(AVCaptureOutput *)captureOutput didOutputMetadataObjects:(NSArray *)metadataObjects fromConnection:(AVCaptureConnection *)connection
{
    for(AVMetadataObject *metadataObject in metadataObjects)
    {
        AVMetadataMachineReadableCodeObject *readableObject = (AVMetadataMachineReadableCodeObject *)metadataObject;
        if([metadataObject.type isEqualToString:AVMetadataObjectTypeQRCode])
        {
            NSLog(@"QR Code = %@", readableObject.stringValue);
        }
        else if ([metadataObject.type isEqualToString:AVMetadataObjectTypeEAN13Code])
        {
            NSLog(@"EAN 13 = %@", readableObject.stringValue);



        }
    }
}
