Include UIImagePickerController in a view - ios

Question

I need to make a view that works like pages, with a popup in which I can choose to pick a photo from my library or create a new one.
Currently, I have a ViewController, present as Popover. In the ViewController, I inserted a ContainerView and I declared that its class is UIImageViewController. This is showing me the photo library but I don't find how to pick anything in : My ViewController presented as Popover.
When I choose a photo, nothing's happening. I've tried to put some functions
(func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController!, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage!, editingInfo: NSDictionary!))
in my ViewController but it does not work. I've read that UIImagePickerController does not support subclassing, so how Pages do this stuff ?
Here is my ViewController code :
import UIKit
class MenuAddResources: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
var newMedia: Bool?
let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
#IBAction func takePhoto(sender: AnyObject) {
if(UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera)){
//load the camera interface
let picker : UIImagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera
picker.delegate = self
picker.allowsEditing = false
self.presentViewController(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
self.newMedia = true
}
else{
//no camera available
let alert = UIAlertController(title: NSLocalizedString("ERROR", comment: ""), message: NSLocalizedString("NO_CAMERA", comment: ""), preferredStyle: .Alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: NSLocalizedString("OK", comment: ""), style: .Default, handler: {(alertAction)in
alert.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}))
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
func image(image: UIImage, didFinishSavingWithError error: NSErrorPointer, contextInfo:UnsafePointer<Void>) {
if error != nil {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: NSLocalizedString("ERROR", comment: ""), message: NSLocalizedString("IMAGE_SAVE_FAILED", comment: ""), preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: NSLocalizedString("OK", comment: ""), style: .Cancel, handler: nil)
alert.addAction(cancelAction)
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController!, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage!, editingInfo: NSDictionary!){
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: { () -> Void in
})
// Let's store the image
let now:Int = Int(NSDate().timeIntervalSince1970)
let imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 85)
//imageData?.writeToFile(documentsDirectory + "/\(now).jpg", atomically: true)
print(imageData)
/* will do stuff with the image */
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(picker: UIImagePickerController) {
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
}

It appears you are using UIImagePickerViewController through a
container view and therefore the delegate isnt set , thus no callbacks
to receiving the image picked methods.
To fix this, you must override prepareForSegue in your class
and in that cast the segue.destinationViewController to your picker and set its delegate to self
