Why doesn't UIImagePickerController delegate to my Object class? - ios

class CameraPicker: NSObject, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
weak var viewController:MyProfileVC!
func launchCamera() {
if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera) {
let imagePicker:UIImagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.delegate = self
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera
imagePicker.cameraDevice = UIImagePickerControllerCameraDevice.front
imagePicker.cameraCaptureMode = .photo
imagePicker.allowsEditing = false
self.viewController.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
} }
}
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
print("didFinishPickingMedia")
}
This is my object class function, but 'didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo' function doesn't get called after taking the picture. Also, the viewcontroller which is presenting the imagepicker is a different Swift file

I had the same problem and I've found a solution, so I'm posting my version (I'm taking a picture from the photo library but it's the same :) ).
I had a memory management issue.
I've created an IBAction function where I instantiated my camera handler class (with the delegate inside...). At the end of the function the variable goes out of scope and it's deallocated. To solve the issue I've made it as instance variable.
That's my code for the VC with my UiButton:
class STECreateUserVC: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var imgAvatar: UIImageView!
let cameraHandler = STECameraHandler()
#IBAction func buttonPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
cameraHandler.importPictureIn(self) { [weak self] (image) in
self?.imgAvatar.image = image
}
}
}
...and that's my handler:
class STECameraHandler: NSObject {
let imagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
var completitionClosure: ((UIImage) -> Void)?
func importPictureIn(_ viewController: UIViewController, completitionHandler:((UIImage) -> Void)?) {
completitionClosure = completitionHandler
imagePickerController.delegate = self
imagePickerController.allowsEditing = true
imagePickerController.sourceType = .photoLibrary
imagePickerController.mediaTypes = UIImagePickerController.availableMediaTypes(for: .photoLibrary)!
viewController.present(imagePickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
extension STECameraHandler: UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
if let completitionClosure = completitionClosure, let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage] as? UIImage {
completitionClosure(image)
}
imagePickerController.dismiss(animated: true)
}
}
I've used a closure in order to have a cleaner code.

This:
self.viewController.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
should be:
self.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)

imagePickerController - didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo does not get called after picking media

converted app from swift 3 to swift 4.2.
my app had a upload your profile image feature that is not working anymore and I am trying to figure out why. For now What I see is that
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo Is not being called after media was chosen

Please help me understand why didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo isn't getting called anymore
It appears as though the function declaration changed between Swift 3 and 4.2. This mustn't have been updated for you by the Swift Migrator Tool. One trick I do when this happens, to check what the correct function declaration is, is to use multiline comment syntax to comment out your current function (didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo in your case). Then you can start typing the function out again, and use Xcode autocomplete to ensure you have it correct. You can then copy the contents of the function you commented out to this new and correct function declaration.
Or - you could just look it up the documentation! According to the documentation on imagePickerController, the function should be declared as:
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController,
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any])
If you replace your function declaration with the above, it should get called again.
As Craig said you need to change delegate function declaration and also afterwards you need to update the following:
let chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.originalImage] as! UIImage
These two changes combined should solve your issue.
i think the name off the function is update
this is my code in My app And work greate
extension FCViewController: UIImagePickerControllerDelegate
{
internal func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController,
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any])
{
if let photo = info[UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.originalImage] as? UIImage
}
// Any Code Here ...

Why does my UIImageView replace the second one?

I have two outlets for two different UIImageViews, when I select the first one it'll appear on the first Image View but when I select the second Image, it replaces the first Image View even though it's connected to the second ImageView. This is my code for the Select Image button.
#IBOutlet weak var myImageView1: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var myImageView2: UIImageView!
#IBAction func pickImage1(_ sender: Any) {
let image = UIImagePickerController()
image.delegate = self
image.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary
image.allowsEditing = false
self.present(image, animated: true)
}
//Add didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo here
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
myImageView1.image = image
}
else {
//error
}
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
#IBAction func pickImage2(_ sender: Any) {
let image2 = UIImagePickerController()
image2.delegate = self
image2.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary
image2.allowsEditing = false
self.present(image2, animated: true)
}
//Add didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo here
func imagePickerController2(_ picker2: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo2 info2: [String : Any]) {
if let image2 = info2[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
myImageView2.image = image2
}
else {
//error
}
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Try this code. So you need a flag to remember which image view is clicked, and then set image base on that.
var selected = 1
#IBAction func pickImage1(_ sender: Any) {
let image = UIImagePickerController()
image.delegate = self
image.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary
image.allowsEditing = false
selected = 1
self.present(image, animated: true)
}
//Add didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo here
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
if selected == 1 {
myImageView1.image = image
} else {
myImageView2.image = image
}
}
else {
//error
}
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
#IBAction func pickImage2(_ sender: Any) {
let image2 = UIImagePickerController()
image2.delegate = self
image2.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary
image2.allowsEditing = false
selected = 2
self.present(image2, animated: true)
}
Moving forward, when you have multiple image views, you can use another method to avoid copying code everywhere.
First, add an unique tag for each image view. Avoid using 0 because the default tag is 0. So you will have image views with tags say 1 to 4.
Call this same method to all your image views so that this function is trigger by clicking on any of them
let tapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(imageTapped(tapGestureRecognizer:)))
imageView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGestureRecognizer)
Handler looks like this
func imageTapped(tapGestureRecognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer)
{
let image = UIImagePickerController()
image.delegate = self
image.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary
image.allowsEditing = false
let tappedImage = tapGestureRecognizer.view as! UIImageView
selected = tappedImage.tag
self.present(image, animated: true)
}
Finally in image pick delegate
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
if let imageView = self.view.viewWithTag(selected) as? UIImageView {
imageView.image = image
}
}
else {
//error
}
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
The problem is that you have renamed the delegate method. If you do that, the method won't be recognized or called.
Another option to the selected answer is to extend UIImageView and have it adhere to UIImagePickerControllerDelegate / UINavigationControllerDelegate.
extension UIImageView: UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
public func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
guard let selectedImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage else {
//handle error
return
}
image = selectedImage
picker.presentingViewController?.dismiss(animated: true)
}
func presentImagePicker(from viewController: UIViewController) {
let picker = UIImagePickerController()
picker.delegate = self
picker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
picker.allowsEditing = false
viewController.present(picker, animated: true)
}
}
This is nice because you can then launch the image picker for any UIImageView in your app with one line, like so:
#IBAction func pickImage1(_ sender: UIButton) {
myImageView1.presentImagePicker(from: self)
}

Why "picker.delegate = self necessary"?

I am creating a simple camera app.
In the code, UIImagePickerControllerclass is the delegate of ViewControllerClass instance.
But why "picker.delegate = self"is necessary in this code?
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
#IBAction func launchCamera(_ sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
let camera = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera
if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(camera) {
let picker = UIImagePickerController()
picker.sourceType = camera
picker.delegate = self
self.present(picker, animated: true)
}
}
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
self.imageView.image = image
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nil, nil)
self.dismiss(animated: true)
}
delegate of UIImagePickerController includes UIImagePickerControllerDelegate and UINavigationControllerDelegate.
UIImagePickerControllerDelegate for catch users' action about take photo or choose picture.
UINavigationControllerDelegate for view controller navigation between album and photo

Add a circular cropping component for UIImagePicker?

I Have a circular framed UIImageView and I need to add a circular framed cropping tool for the UIImagePickerController, after the image is selected from a photo library. Very similar to Instagram's UIImagePicker's crop component. How do I add this type of component?
UPDATE
I've found this repo with a circular cropping tool https://github.com/ruslanskorb/RSKImageCropper
but can someone guide me on to how to implement this cropping tool with the UIImagePickerController after the user selects a photo from the photo library?
UPDATE
I am getting the following message in my debugger :
and the buttons in my crop view are disabled, meaning I cannot select them.. what message is the debugger relaying on to me?
here is my code:
#IBAction func chooseProfilePicture(sender: AnyObject) {
var myPickerController = UIImagePickerController()
myPickerController = UIImagePickerController()
myPickerController.delegate = self;
myPickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary
self.presentViewController(myPickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {
var image : UIImage = (info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage)!
editProfilePictureImageView.image = image
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: { () -> Void in
var imageCropVC : RSKImageCropViewController!
imageCropVC = RSKImageCropViewController(image: image, cropMode: RSKImageCropMode.Circle)
imageCropVC.delegate = self
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(imageCropVC, animated: true)
})
}
Example Demo
Yes you can add RSKImageCropper in your UIImagePickerController
define imagePicker
var imagePicker : UIImagePickerController!
in ViewDidLoad
imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.delegate = self
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary;
self.presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
Delegate methode :
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject])
{
var image : UIImage = (info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage)!
picker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: { () -> Void in
var imageCropVC : RSKImageCropViewController!
imageCropVC = RSKImageCropViewController(image: image, cropMode: RSKImageCropMode.Circle)
imageCropVC.delegate =self
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(imageCropVC, animated: true)
})
}
see :
Kirit Modi's answer was exactly what I needed, although I needed to do one thing to make this work. For those that dont download the test project, make sure to implement your delegate methods:
Swift 3:
extension YourViewControllerClass: RSKImageCropViewControllerDelegate {
func imageCropViewControllerDidCancelCrop(_ controller: RSKImageCropViewController) {
_ = self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
}
func imageCropViewController(_ controller: RSKImageCropViewController, didCropImage croppedImage: UIImage, usingCropRect cropRect: CGRect) {
self.avatarImageView.image = croppedImage
_ = self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
}
}
Swift 2:
extension YourViewControllerClass: RSKImageCropViewControllerDelegate {
func imageCropViewControllerDidCancelCrop(controller: RSKImageCropViewController) {
self.navigationController?.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
}
func imageCropViewController(controller: RSKImageCropViewController, didCropImage croppedImage: UIImage, usingCropRect cropRect: CGRect) {
self.avatarImageView.image = croppedImage
self.navigationController?.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
}
}
For Swift 2.2:
add delegate methods to your class:
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, RSKImageCropViewControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate
define imagePicker
var imagePicker : UIImagePickerController!
in viewDidLoad()
imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.delegate = self
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary
self.presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
And delegate methode :
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController!, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage!, editingInfo: NSDictionary!) {
let image : UIImage = image
picker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: { () -> Void in
var imageCropVC : RSKImageCropViewController!
imageCropVC = RSKImageCropViewController(image: image, cropMode: RSKImageCropMode.Circle)
imageCropVC.delegate = self
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(imageCropVC, animated: true)
})
}
Of course it need to do bridge for objective C class
Oh, link to RSKImageCrop

Three images using image picker

I am building an app that allows user to add three pictures to threeUIImageViews
I added three buttons, for instance, when a user clicks on button one he should be able to add an image toUIImageView 1
but the image did not come to theUIImageView and I did not find any solution
sample of code:
#IBAction func imageOneBtn(sender: AnyObject) {
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary
picker.delegate = self
picker.allowsEditing = false
self.presentViewController(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject]){
let selectedImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
imageViewOne.image = selectedImage
imageViewOne.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.ScaleAspectFit
picker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
}
Thank you in advance
The code seems to be correct.
let selectedImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
Try removing the exclamation mark (!).
Try using imageViewOne.contentMode = .ScaleAspectFit
Also try using var instead of let selectedImage
In general Try this code
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {
var selectedImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as UIImage
imageViewOne.contentMode = .ScaleAspectFit
imageViewOne.image = selectedImage
dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
I have solved my problem, and this is the answer for anyone who may want to use it
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var oneImg: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var twoImg: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var threeImg: UIImageView!
var num=0;
func config() {
let imagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
imagePickerController.delegate = self
imagePickerController.allowsEditing = true
imagePickerController.sourceType = .PhotoLibrary
presentViewController(imagePickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
#IBAction func oneBtn(sender: AnyObject) {
num = 1
config()
}
#IBAction func twoBtn(sender: AnyObject) {
num = 2
config()
}
#IBAction func threeBtn(sender: AnyObject) {
num = 3
config()
}
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject]){
let selectedImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage;
if num == 1 { // switch can be used here
oneImg.image = selectedImage;
} else if (num == 2) {
twoImg.image = selectedImage
} else if (num == 3) {
threeImg.image = selectedImage
}
picker.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
}
