Get all image from gallery
View Controller header(.h) file..
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#include <AssetsLibrary/AssetsLibrary.h>
#interface getPhotoLibViewController : UIViewController
{
ALAssetsLibrary *library;
NSArray *imageArray;
NSMutableArray *mutableArray;
}
-(void)allPhotosCollected:(NSArray*)imgArray;
#end
implementation file
declare global count variable as
static int count=0;
#implementation getPhotoLibViewController
-(void)getAllPictures
{
imageArray=[[NSArray alloc] init];
mutableArray =[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSMutableArray* assetURLDictionaries = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
void (^assetEnumerator)( ALAsset *, NSUInteger, BOOL *) = ^(ALAsset *result, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop) {
if(result != nil) {
if([[result valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyType] isEqualToString:ALAssetTypePhoto]) {
[assetURLDictionaries addObject:[result valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyURLs]];
NSURL *url= (NSURL*) [[result defaultRepresentation]url];
[library assetForURL:url
resultBlock:^(ALAsset *asset) {
[mutableArray addObject:[UIImage imageWithCGImage:[[asset defaultRepresentation] fullScreenImage]]];
if ([mutableArray count]==count)
{
imageArray=[[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:mutableArray];
[self allPhotosCollected:imageArray];
}
}
failureBlock:^(NSError *error){ NSLog(#"operation was not successfull!"); } ];
}
}
};
NSMutableArray *assetGroups = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
void (^ assetGroupEnumerator) ( ALAssetsGroup *, BOOL *)= ^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop) {
if(group != nil) {
[group enumerateAssetsUsingBlock:assetEnumerator];
[assetGroups addObject:group];
count=[group numberOfAssets];
}
};
assetGroups = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[library enumerateGroupsWithTypes:ALAssetsGroupAll
usingBlock:assetGroupEnumerator
failureBlock:^(NSError *error) {NSLog(#"There is an error");}];
}
-(void)allPhotosCollected:(NSArray*)imgArray
{
//write your code here after getting all the photos from library...
NSLog(#"all pictures are %#",imgArray);
}
#end
Use getAllPicture method to get photos from photo library.
