iPhone, “More than maximum 5 filtered album lists trying to register. This will fail.” Error

Question

When I try to read an image from the photo library I get the error, "More than maximum 5 filtered album lists trying to register. This will fail." The image is not read.

Any idea how to fix this?

Answer 1

I think you are not checking the source type. You might be doing

 self.sourceType =UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;

If this is the case, then you have to check the source type before assigning it directly. like

 if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:
     UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary]) 
  {
       // Set source to the Photo Library
       self.sourceType =UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;

  }

I hope it helps

Answer 2

Instead of this

self.sourceType =UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;

Use

self.sourceType =UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;

Answer 3

This worked it out for me:

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
    [picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    picker = nil;
    UIImage *image = [info objectForKey:@"UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage"];
}

I just set "picker = nil;" after dismissing the ModalViewController and then it works perfect :)

Hope it's going to help you out too :)

Answer 4

The consensus (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7689119/ios-5-gm-error-more-than-maximum-5-filtered-album-lists-trying-to-register) is that this is Apple's bug as even their own examples run into it. A radar has been filed against it.

Answer 5

This is happen when allocating and presenting the UIImagePickerController more than 5 times.... I guess that the IOS forgets to de-register something when releasing/dismissing the UIImagePickerController.

Answer 6

For help follow link : http://skhousee.blogspot.in/2012/06/error-more-than-max-5-filtered-album.html

UIImagePickerController *ipc = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];

ipc.delegate = self;

ipc.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;

[self presentModalViewController:ipc animated:YES];

[ipc release];

-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {

[super viewDidAppear:animated];
[self setModalInPopover:YES];

}

The answer was the issue only showed itself in iOS 5 Beta 6. After updating to beta 7 the issue is now gone.
