hey I'm new in iOS app developing world...
I had open the gallery and selected only one image and displayed on image view.
Now I want to select multiple image from Gallery.
So my question is
How should I select multiple image from Gallery in iOS and display on UIImageView???
UIImagePickerController doesn't support multiple selection by default, but you can use libraries like QBImagePicker to achieve that.
Generally you should not pick multiple images from iOS native picker so
from UIImagePickerController you can get only one picture. If you need to pick more you need a custom image picker, such as ELCImagePickerController. It works well! You can download it here.

I am new to IOS app development. I have one problem. I have to get an image from the Image Gallery of the iPhone without letting the user select the image. I need to programatically set the image name of the image I need to get the Image. Any one please help me.
You can fetch images from Gallery programmatically using AssetLibrary.

Once the images are fetch you can select and then set it to any UIImageView
Unfortunately what you'd like to do is not allowed on iOS.
You have to use UIImagePickerController, ask permission from the user, and let the user choose an image.

I'm building an app for iOS 8 using Swift and I need to allow the user select more than one image from the photo gallery. But all code examples using UIImagePickerController works with just one photo at a time like this one
Is there any way to select more than one photo at a time?
Using UIImagePickerController no. You could write your custom picker or use something ready, like CTAssetsPickerController
In my app which i am developing now has the Image Gallery where it consist of lot of albums and multiple images per album.
which is the best practice to use for Image Gallery? where i am planning to create a tableview for album listing and a navigating to a new View Controller taping on album. is that good way of creating albums?
and i'm using AFNetwork how to cache the images in the background so that the performance of the application will not effect.
Thanks in Advance.
There are lot if third party image gallery libraries available for iOS. Following are few of them :
FGallery-iPhone
UIPhotoGallery
MWPhotoBrowser
Image-Gallery
If above ones doesn't serve your purpose you can always create a custom gallery view that serves your purpose.
I have been looking around and haven't found a good answer for this.
Instagram uses an image browser/picker like . As you can see above the images from the photo gallery are displayed in a grid below and you can directly choose image from there instead of using the default image picker layout.
The Groupme app also does something similar..
Where images are displayed in a horizontal scrollable list and you can just choose from this.
I have been reading up on the image picker and the documentation says that subclassing is not support.
So my question is:
How do you create something like this?
If this is just a custom view that loads the images stored on the device. How do I access those images?
I just need a starting point and what to specifically look for (custom browser/image picker etc).
Thanks in advance.
You use the ALAssetsLibrary APIs, docs here.
I'd like to create a custom image browser in my app that uses the images from the camera roll.
i.e. I'd like to completely replace UIImagePickerController and use my own control.
Is there a way of accessing the camera roll photos in this way?
Cluster App does this but I can't find a picture of it.
You need to use ALAssetsLibrary to access the images.
Have a look at the QBImagePickerController on the GitHub. They implemented custom image picker controller very similar to UIImagePickerController with added multiple selection feature. It will help you. Atleast look at this file
Check out RengarViewController
a custom image picker controller which make use of Photo Framework (introduced in iOS 8).
It has nice UI, can be scrolled and panned.
