Image not showing up in ImageView after using Image Picker - ios

Question

I am trying to write a simple app that will update the ImageView with a photo from my photos library. I can open the photos library and select a photo, but after I do that the default image in the ImageViewer does not show up. Any idea why?
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
#IBOutlet weak var photoView: UIImageView!
#IBAction func testGesture(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
let imagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
imagePickerController.sourceType = .photoLibrary
imagePickerController.delegate = self
present(imagePickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
private func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
guard let selectedImage = info[UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.originalImage.rawValue] as? UIImage else {
fatalError("Expected a dictionary containing an image, but was provided the following: \(info)")
}
photoView.image = selectedImage
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}

Answer 1

You're not using the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate's didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo method. Remove the private and modify the didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo method to the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate method syntax and you're good to go.
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
guard let selectedImage = info[UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.originalImage] as? UIImage else {
fatalError("Expected a dictionary containing an image, but was provided the following: \(info)")
}
photoView.image = selectedImage
print(selectedImage)
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
