How can I let a user select a photo from the Apple Photos library? How do we show the system camera UI to allow the user to take a picture?
EDIT: March 15, 2016 - Here is a swift version of my prior answer, if you're looking for the objective-c version you'll find it below.
-- SWIFT --
First conform to the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate protocol and the UINavigationControllerDelegate protocol
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate
launch the image picker
func actionLaunchCamera()
{
if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera)
{
let imagePicker:UIImagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.delegate = self
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera
imagePicker.allowsEditing = true
self.presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
else
{
let alert:UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: "Camera Unavailable", message: "Unable to find a camera on this device", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
implement the delegate methods for UIImagePickerDelegate protocol
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : AnyObject])
{
// create a filepath with the current date/time as the image name
let savePath:String = self.documentsPath()! + "/" + self.presentDateTimeString() + ".png"
// try to get our edited image if there is one, as well as the original image
let editedImg:UIImage? = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage] as? UIImage
let originalImg:UIImage? = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage
// create our image data with the edited img if we have one, else use the original image
let imgData:NSData = editedImg == nil ? UIImagePNGRepresentation(editedImg!)! : UIImagePNGRepresentation(originalImg!)!
// write the image data to file
imgData.writeToFile(savePath, atomically: true)
// dismiss the picker
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(picker: UIImagePickerController)
{
// picker cancelled, dismiss picker view controller
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
// added these methods simply for convenience/completeness
func documentsPath() ->String?
{
// fetch our paths
let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, NSSearchPathDomainMask.UserDomainMask, true)
if paths.count > 0
{
// return our docs directory path if we have one
let docsDir = paths[0]
return docsDir
}
return nil
}
func presentDateTimeString() ->String
{
// setup date formatter
let dateFormatter:NSDateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss"
// get current date
let now:NSDate = NSDate()
// generate date string from now
let theDateTime = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(now)
return theDateTime
}
-- OBJECTIVE-C --
EDIT: Updated to check if camera is available before trying to launch it. Also added code showing how to save a png photo to the documents folder within the app sandbox.
Give this a try (this assumes using ARC).
In the .h file conform to the delegate protocol:
@interface MyViewController : UIViewController <UINavigationControllerDelegate,UIImagePickerControllerDelegate>
In the .m file launch the image picker (camera):
-(void)actionLaunchAppCamera
{
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])
{
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
imagePicker.delegate = self;
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;
[self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
}else{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Camera Unavailable"
message:@"Unable to find a camera on your device."
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alert show];
alert = nil;
}
}
Then implement the delegate protocols to handle a user cancel event or save/edit/etc the photo.
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
//This creates a filepath with the current date/time as the name to save the image
NSString *presentTimeStamp = [Utilities getPresentDateTime];
NSString *fileSavePath = [Utilities documentsPath:presentTimeStamp];
fileSavePath = [fileSavePath stringByAppendingString:@".png"];
//This checks to see if the image was edited, if it was it saves the edited version as a .png
if ([info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage]) {
//save the edited image
NSData *imgPngData = UIImagePNGRepresentation([info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage]);
[imgPngData writeToFile:fileSavePath atomically:YES];
}else{
//save the original image
NSData *imgPngData = UIImagePNGRepresentation([info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]);
[imgPngData writeToFile:fileSavePath atomically:YES];
}
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
-(void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
ALSO ADDED IN EDIT: Here are the methods referenced it the Utilities class for getting the document path and current date/time
+(NSString *)documentsPath:(NSString *)fileName {
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains (NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
return [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
}
+(NSString *)getPresentDateTime{
NSDateFormatter *dateTimeFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateTimeFormat setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate *now = [[NSDate alloc] init];
NSString *theDateTime = [dateTimeFormat stringFromDate:now];
dateTimeFormat = nil;
now = nil;
return theDateTime;
}
You need to use UIImagePickerController.
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
You have to implement the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate method imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: and then store the UIImage to wherever you want, with whatever file name you want, using NSFileManager methods.
Here's an updated version of digitalHound's answer which works for Swift 3.
Action Launch Camera function:
func actionLaunchCamera()
{
if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera)
{
let imagePicker:UIImagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.delegate = self
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera
imagePicker.allowsEditing = true
self.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
else
{
let alert:UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: "Camera Unavailable", message: "Unable to find a camera on this device", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Dismiss", style: .default, handler: nil))
alert.view.tintColor = UIColor(red:0.37, green:0.66, blue:0.44, alpha:1.0)
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
The Delegate Functions:
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
// create a filepath with the current date/time as the image name
let savePath:URL = URL(fileURLWithPath: self.documentsPath()! + "/" + self.presentDateTimeString() + ".png")
// try to get our edited image if there is one, as well as the original image
let editedImg:UIImage? = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage] as? UIImage
let originalImg:UIImage? = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage
// create our image data with the edited img if we have one, else use the original image
let imgData:Data = editedImg == nil ? UIImagePNGRepresentation(editedImg!)! : UIImagePNGRepresentation(originalImg!)! as Data
// write the image data to file
try! imgData.write(to: savePath, options: [])
// dismiss the picker
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
// picker cancelled, dismiss picker view controller
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
// added these methods simply for convenience/completeness
func documentsPath() ->String?
{
// fetch our paths
let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(FileManager.SearchPathDirectory.documentDirectory, FileManager.SearchPathDomainMask.userDomainMask, true)
if paths.count > 0
{
// return our docs directory path if we have one
let docsDir = paths[0]
return docsDir
}
return nil
}
func presentDateTimeString() ->String
{
// setup date formatter
let dateFormatter:DateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss"
// get current date
let now:Date = Date()
// generate date string from now
let theDateTime = dateFormatter.string(from: now)
return theDateTime
}
This is what worked for me.
Step 1 : Confirm to UIImagePickerControllerDelegate ,UINavigationControllerDelegate
Step 2: (iOS 10+) Add this as key to your info.plist file
Key : Privacy - Camera Usage Description
value: #Your message
Step 3: and this in your @IBAction
if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(.camera) {
var imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.delegate = self
imagePicker.sourceType = .camera
imagePicker.allowsEditing = false
self.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
this code will trigger device camera..
IOS developer
//For Open Gallery
UIImagePickerController *imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
imagePickerController.delegate = self;
if([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue]>=8.0)
{
[[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperationWithBlock:^{
[self presentViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
}];
}
else{
[self presentViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
// For Open Camera
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])
{
UIImagePickerController *imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePickerController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
imagePickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
imagePickerController.delegate = self;
if([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue]>=8.0)
{
[[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperationWithBlock:^{
[self presentViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
}];
}
else{
[self presentViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
Quick Solution!
I created this library for those you need to integrate this functionality immediately. You can also apply filters to your image with a single line of code all you have to write is :-
let picker = PickerController()
picker.applyFilter = true // to apply filter after selecting the picture by default false
picker.selectImage(self){ image in
// Use the picture
}
