iOS: Calling native methods on iPhone

[Tobias Bley]

Hi Tom,

thats great! We need such efforts!
the goal should be to use the automatically wrapped UIKit from Java, call the image picker and fetch an image from the iphone to show it in JavaFX!

Who is the first guy who posts a demo image ;)?

Best regards,
Tobi

It would be fantastic to have a real use case for using a native cocoa touch function in JavaFX (on RoboVM). I suggest to load an image via ImagePicker from the iPhone image library. So we need to use the UIKit framework and the UIImagePickerController...
