How to Save Image to Application Folder from UIImagePickerController? - ios

Question

I've a question in mind that driving me crazy. I've searched a lot to solve it, but all the answers that I found were old and not helped.
I'm currently working on application with that uses UIImagePickerControllerDelegate and with didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo I want to save the selected image to application folder.
Until now I'm able to select the image with this;
- (IBAction)btnPressed:(UIButton *)sender
{
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum])
{
UIImagePickerController *imgPicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imgPicker.delegate = self;
imgPicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
imgPicker.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:(NSString *)kUTTypeImage];
imgPicker.allowsEditing = NO;
[self presentViewController:imgPicker animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
but couldn't save it to application using didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo;
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
if ([mediaType isEqualToString:(NSString *) kUTTypeImage])
{
UIImage *image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
//Assigning the selected image to imageView to see on UI side.
imageViewerImage.image = image;
}
}
I wonder what should be the part after this point.
I appreciate any help that you can provide.

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
UIImage* image;
if([[info valueForKey:#"UIImagePickerControllerMediaType"] isEqualToString:#"public.image"])
{
image = [info valueForKey:#"UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage"];
NSString *stringPath = [[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES)objectAtIndex:0]stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"New Folder"];
// New Folder is your folder name
NSError *error = nil;
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:stringPath])
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:stringPath withIntermediateDirectories:NO attributes:nil error:&error];
NSString *fileName = [stringPath stringByAppendingFormat:#"/image.jpg"];
NSData *data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0);
[data writeToFile:fileName atomically:YES];
}
}

Try this code. It may helps you. :)
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
imgViewProfile.image = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{ }];
// ------ Now save this image to document directory by getting its path
}

Save an UIImage to the to Documentsfolder like this:
UIImage* myUIImage = ...
NSData *pngData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(myUIImage);
//NSData *pngData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(myUIImage,0.5); //alternative comressed jpg instead of png
NSString *filePath = [[self buildDocumentsPath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"pictureName.png"]; //Add the file name
[pngData writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES]; //Write the file
Get the path of the documents as a string:
- (NSString *)buildDocumentsPath{
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
return documentsPath;
}

Just save the image in your app document directory :
// first find the path in which to save the image :
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *baseDir = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
// then save image as JPEG
NSString* filename = [baseDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"filename.jpg"];
[UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0) writeToFile:jpgPath atomically:YES];
// or PNG
NSString* filename = [baseDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"filename.png"];
[UIImagePNGRepresentation(image) writeToFile:pngPath atomically:YES];

Answer 5

//In Your - (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage (UIImage *)image editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo . Write this code
NSData *pngData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
//This pulls out PNG data of the image you've captured. From here, you can write it to a file:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; //Get the docs directory
NSString *filePath = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"image.png"]; //Add the file name
[pngData writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES]; //Write the file

I did that in my project:
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{
UIImage * imageDone = [info objectForKey:#"UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage"];
[self saveImage:imageDone];
[self.popover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}
-(void)saveImage:(UIImage*)image{
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString * imgpath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingFormat:#"/media/img/"];
long x = arc4random() % 10000;
NSString * namePic = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%lld%ld-photo.jpg", self.idToLoad.longLongValue, x];
NSString * stringName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", imgpath, namePic];
[UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.3) writeToFile:stringName atomically:YES];
}
