I am having a problem displaying the photo I just took or chose to the image view.
Below is a pic of the imagview on the left and the licencePhoto button on right.
When I click on Take Photo, it allows me to take a pic or select from my library, as the code shows:
#IBAction func seclectOrTakePhoto(_ sender: Any) {
pickerController.delegate = self
pickerController.allowsEditing = true
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Add a Picture", message: "Choose From", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
let cameraAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: .default) { (action) in
self.pickerController.sourceType = .camera
self.present(self.pickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
let photosLibraryAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Photos Library", style: .default) { (action) in
self.pickerController.sourceType = .photoLibrary
self.present(self.pickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
let savedPhotosAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Saved Photos Album", style: .default) { (action) in
self.pickerController.sourceType = .savedPhotosAlbum
self.present(self.pickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .destructive, handler: nil)
alertController.addAction(cameraAction)
alertController.addAction(photosLibraryAction)
alertController.addAction(savedPhotosAction)
alertController.addAction(cancelAction)
present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
But, it does not display the photo to the licensePhoto image and in Firebase, it is uploading the pic I have displayed in the image view as below and not the one I just took with phone.
How can I achieve this?
Edited
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage, editingInfo: [String : AnyObject]?) {
self.licensePhoto.image = image
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
// any time the photo changes, check the button status
updateSignupButtonStatus()
}
After searching and looking through tutorials, I finally got something to work:
#objc func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
let chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
licensePhoto.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
licensePhoto.image = chosenImage
pickerController.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I have a viewcontroller with navigation controller. I have button for uploading images.But after pressing the button it doesn't popup the alert for camera or photo library options although i have written codes for alert. Why doesn't the alert popup appear? I have also given Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description in info.plist. My code is given :
import UIKit
import Alamofire
class ProfilePicController: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
var imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
#IBOutlet weak var uploadPic: UIButton!
#IBOutlet weak var profilePic: UIImageView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
imagePicker.delegate = self
profilePic.layer.cornerRadius = profilePic.frame.size.width / 2
profilePic.clipsToBounds = true
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
#IBAction func uploadPic(_ sender: Any) {
print("image add")
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "Choose your source", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default) { (result : UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("Camera selected")
self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera
})
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Photo library", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default) { (result : UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("Photo selected")
self.imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary
})
self.present(self.imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
let selectedImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
profilePic.image = selectedImage
// self.savePic()
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
//Alert.swift file
import UIKit
class Alert {
class func showBasic(title: String ,message: String , vc: UIViewController) {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
let defaultAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel, handler: nil)
alert.addAction(defaultAction)
vc.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
Actually you don't present the alert
#IBAction func uploadPic(_ sender: Any) {
print("image add")
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "Choose your source", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: .default) { (result : UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("Camera selected")
self.imagePicker.sourceType = .camera
self.present(self.imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
})
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Photo library", style: .default) { (result : UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("Photo selected")
self.imagePicker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
self.present(self.imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
})
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I am using a UIImagePickerController in my program and it is effectively changing the image of an imageview i have added. However, whenever I restart this app and come back to the home screen, it is automatically resetting to the default image I had it to before, rather than the user selected image. How can I make it so that it records which image was last used, and reloads it every time the program starts?
var imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
func chooseImage(_ sender: Any) { //function called with button press
let imagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
imagePickerController.delegate = self
imagePickerController.allowsEditing = true
let actionSheet = UIAlertController(title: "Photo Source", message: "Choose a source", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: .default, handler: { (action:UIAlertAction) in
if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(.camera) {
imagePickerController.sourceType = .camera
self.present(imagePickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}else{
print("Camera not available")
}
}))
actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Photo Library", style: .default, handler: { (action:UIAlertAction) in
imagePickerController.sourceType = .photoLibrary
self.present(imagePickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}))
actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Default", style: .default, handler: { (action:UIAlertAction) in
self.avatarImageView.image = UIImage(named: "Avatar.png")
}))
actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil))
self.present(actionSheet, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage] as! UIImage
avatarImageView.image = image
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Since the app is going out of memory, you'll need some kind of persistence mechanism for saving the image. The simplest way to do this would be to store the image in UserDefaults. This can be accomplished like this:
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage] as! UIImage
avatarImageView.image = image
UserDefaults.standard.set(UIImagePNGRepresentation(image), forKey: "avatarImage")
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Then when you reopen the app you'll need to check whether you've previously saved an avatarImage in UserDefaults and load it from there:
// Could be in viewDidLoad or wherever else you load your image
override func viewDidLoad() {
if let imageData = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "avatarImage") as? Data {
avatarImageView.image = UIImage(data: imageData)
}
}
I use UIImagePickerController to take a photo by camera of iPhone.
I want to show both "take a photo" and "choose a photo".
My code
imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.delegate = self
imagePicker.sourceType = .camera
//imagePicker.sourceType = .PhotoLibrary
presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
I tried to use imagePicker.sourceType = .Camera and imagePicker.sourceType = .PhotoLibrary together to do this, but it doesn't work...
Thank you
Import UIImagePickerControllerDelegate and create a variable to assign UIImagePickerController
var imagePicker = UIImagePickerController() and set imagePicker.delegate = self.
Create an action sheet to display options for 'Camera' and 'Photo library'.
On your button click action:
#IBAction func buttonOnClick(_ sender: UIButton)
{
self.btnEdit.setTitleColor(UIColor.white, for: .normal)
self.btnEdit.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Choose Image", message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: .default, handler: { _ in
self.openCamera()
}))
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Gallery", style: .default, handler: { _ in
self.openGallary()
}))
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction.init(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil))
/*If you want work actionsheet on ipad
then you have to use popoverPresentationController to present the actionsheet,
otherwise app will crash on iPad */
switch UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom {

alert.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = sender.bounds
alert.popoverPresentationController?.permittedArrowDirections = .up

}
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func openCamera()
{
if(UIImagePickerController .isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerController.SourceType.camera))
{
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerController.SourceType.camera
imagePicker.allowsEditing = true
self.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
else
{
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Warning", message: "You don't have camera", preferredStyle: .alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: nil))
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}

// Use the picture
}

TO USE IT
Make sure you set your info PList like this image below.
Create a storyboard with an UIImageView and drag imageView to ViewController. This will create a #IBOutlet like you see in the code below. I named my imageView profileImageView.
create a UIImage and set it to an image in your asset folder or use a system image. If using a system image it should look like this UIImage(systemName: "plus") NOTE: plus is an example pass whatever system image you like there.
(4) Create a function that updates the profileImageView to meet your needs, add the image to the profileImageView and then call this function in ViewDidLoad()
(5) In the same function I setup a tapGestureRecognizer so anytime the imageView it tapped it is notified and fires the editImageTapGesture() func.
(6) Setup the editImageTapGesture func to access the CameraHandler and show action sheet as well as assign the image (you select from library or take from camera) to your profileImageView.
import UIKit
class EditProfileImageController: UIViewController {
// (2) IBOutlet from storyboard
#IBOutlet weak var profileImageView: UIImageView!
// (3) Add image: this can be a system image or in my case an image in my assets folder named "noImage".
var profileImage = UIImage(named: "noImage")
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
setupProfileImage()
}
//(4) I setup the profile image in this function and set profile image to the profileImageView
private func setupProfileImage() {
profileImageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
profileImageView.image = profileImage
//(5) setup tap gesture for when profileImageView is tapped
profileImageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
let editImageTapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(editProfileImageTapped(_:)))
profileImageView.addGestureRecognizer(editImageTapGesture)
}
//(6) Once tap on profile image occurs the action sheet appears with Gallery and Camera buttons.
#objc func editProfileImageTapped(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
CameraHandler.shared.showActionSheet(vc: self)
CameraHandler.shared.imagePickedBlock = { (image) in
self.profileImageView.image = image
}
}
}
Action Sheet should look like this:
This code allows access to my photo gallery on the iPhone simulator in Xcode. When I put it on my iPad I can access the camera but not the photo gallery. I would like the image view to display the camera photos if choose or load a image from the photo gallery if choose.

Update to the answer above. It works great, but has a few typos - need closing parentheses on addActions. Xcode 8.2 also changed presentViewController to present.
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "Choose your source", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) { (result : UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("Camera selected")
//Code for Camera
//cameraf
})
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Photo library", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) { (result : UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("Photo selected")
//Code for Photo library
//photolibaryss
})
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
You can make a UIAlertController which would consist of two alert actions photo library and camera, and then add the functions lines of code from photolibaryss and cameraf to respective alert actions.
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "Choose your source", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) { (result : UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("Camera selected")
//Code for Camera
//cameraf
})
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Photo library", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) { (result : UIAlertAction) -> Void in
print("Photo selected")
//Code for Photo library
//photolibaryss
})
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
