Save Photos to Custom Album in iPhones Photo Library

Question

I\'m trying to create a custom album in the Photo Library of an iPhone and then save photos that I\'ve taken with the camera, or chosen from the phones Camera Roll to that c

Answer 1

Fernando's answer worked for me in iOS 7.

Steps :

1) Download the ALAssetsLibrary+CustomPhotoAlbum code from here: http://www.touch-code-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ALAssetsLibrary_CustomPhotoAlbum.zip?a071b6 and copy the 2 files for the category inside your Xcode project.

2)In your header file,add the following lines

#import 
#import "ALAssetsLibrary+CustomPhotoAlbum.h"

@property (strong, atomic) ALAssetsLibrary* library;

3) In your implementation file,add the following lines

@synthesize library=_library;

EDIT: 4) initialise the asset library instance, preferably in "viewDidLoad" method, otherwise the saveImage method below won't execute. (CONFIRMED):

[I am resubmitting the suggested edit because someone with non-iphone skills rejected the previous submission. This is undoubtedly a great answer by @santhu & Fernando and helped me a lot, however, the initialisation piece of code was missing so it took me a bit of time to figure out why the code didn't work. Hence, I would appreciate if a moderator with iPhone development skillset reviews the edit.]

_library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];

5) Add this in the method where you wish to save

  //Add this in the method where you wish to save
  [self.library saveImage:(UIImage *) toAlbum:(NSString *) withCompletionBlock:^(NSError                 *error) {
    if (error!=nil) {
        NSLog(@"Big error: %@", [error description]);
    }
}];
