I am successful at taking or picking a photo and uploading to Firebase Storage but I am not sure how to set that pic to the UIImage, see code:
UIImage that needs the photo to be set to:
#IBOutlet weak var myPhoto: UIImageView!
How to select or take a photo:
imagePicker.allowsEditing = true
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Add a Photo", message: "Choose From", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
let cameraAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: .default) { (action) in
self.imagePicker.sourceType = .camera
self.imagePicked = sender.tag // new
self.present(self.imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
let photosLibraryAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Photos Library", style: .default) { (action) in
self.imagePicker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
self.imagePicked = sender.tag // new
self.present(self.imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
let savedPhotosAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Saved Photos Album", style: .default) { (action) in
self.imagePicker.sourceType = .savedPhotosAlbum
self.imagePicked = sender.tag // new
self.present(self.imagePicker, 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)
How do I set the photo I just selected or took to myPhoto?
You can get selected or captured image from
UIImagePickerControllerDelegate function. You must need to set
delegate of your UIImagePickerController(picker) instance.
Asking for permission
The app must ask for permission from the user before accessing the
camera/ the saved photos.The app should display a message to the user
explaining why it needs the camera or photo library access. You can
set this message by setting the NSCameraUsageDescription and
NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key in the Info.plist file of your app.
This will work for the sure
imagePicker.delegate = self
extension StackOverflowViewController: UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
func imagePickerController( picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
var selectedImage: UIImage?
if let editedImage = info[.editedImage] as? UIImage {
selectedImage = editedImage
self.imgView.image = selectedImage!
} else if let originalImage = info[.originalImage] as? UIImage {
selectedImage = originalImage
self.imgView.image = selectedImage!
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel( picker: UIImagePickerController) {
picker.dismiss(animated: true) {
// Further logic to perform
}
}
}

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 view with 2 UIImageViews and 2 buttons in order to select 2 different pictures with UIImagePickerViewController. It actually works but when I upload 1 image the other UIView Image is also selecting the same image.
What am I doing wrong ?
}
#IBAction func uploadButton(_ sender: Any) {
let imagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
imagePickerController.delegate = self
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: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil))
self.present(actionSheet, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
#IBAction func coverButton(_ sender: Any) {
let imagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
imagePickerController.delegate = self
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: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil))
self.present(actionSheet, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
profileImage.image = image
backgroundImage.image = image
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
You have duplicate code and no way to determine which image view to update after a picture is selected/taken. You need to refactor your code.
Add a property to your class:
var chosenImageView: UIImageView?
Then put your common code into its own method:
function selectPhoto() {
let imagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
imagePickerController.delegate = self
let actionSheet = UIAlertController(title: "Photo Source", message: "Choose a source", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(.camera) {
actionSheet.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: .default, handler: { (action:UIAlertAction) in
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: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil))
self.present(actionSheet, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Note how the Camera button isn't shown if there is no camera.
Then refactor your two actions:
#IBAction func uploadButton(_ sender: Any) {
chosenImageView = profileImage
selectPhoto()
}
#IBAction func coverButton(_ sender: Any) {
chosenImageView = backgroundImage
selectPhoto()
}
And lastly the delegate methods:
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
chosenImageView?.image = image
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
picker.dismiss(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()

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
