Open camera roll on the latest photo - ios

I know already how to open the camera roll:
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[picker setDelegate:self];
[picker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary];
[picker setAllowsEditing:YES];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
But I want it to go directly to the latest picture. It does it when you use the iPhone original camera. When you click on the thumbnail of the taken photo, the camera roll open and display it directly.
Is it possible to do this way?

Get all GIF images saved on iPhone/iPad camera roll

As far as I know, it is very easy to get all the videos from the Camera Roll, just by doing something like this:
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.delegate = self;
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
imagePicker.mediaTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie, nil];
[self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:nil];
My question is, how is it possible to get all the GIF saved on the camera roll?
I have downloaded the app 'GifBoom Pro' and it does it.
Thank you very much.
I know this is an old question. But for anyone else to come, you'll need to use the Photos framework and use requestImageDataForAsset:imageData:imageUTI,Orientation,Info and compare the image UTI against the string of com.compuserve.gif. ALAssetsLibrary will become deprecated by iOS 9.0

Image picker in selfie mode

I'm trying to find a way to open the image picker view direcly in "selfie" mode. (To take have the camera showing the user's face)
Does someone has a trick to do that ?
You can simply do this by setting two properties of UIImagePickerController like this -
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[picker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
[picker setCameraDevice:UIImagePickerControllerCameraDeviceFront];
You need to set Camera Device to Front and need to set Source Type to Camera.

ios open camera image from roll

I´m creating an app that access to the Camera roll using ImagePickerController. The app has a buttom and when I tap on it the app should go to the last image saved on the roll. Using that code:
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated: YES];
the app open the thumbnails and I would like to open a specific image (full screen)
Is possible?
Image will open in full view only if you want to make edit to it.
Add this line to open in full view before presenting .
[picker setAllowsEditing:YES];
If you wish more function than you have two option.
Use your own custom control.
Add overlay view on UIImagePickerController
Refer this example to create your controls:
DLCImagePickerController
AGImagePickerController

open gallery with videos AND photos in iOS

I was using the UIImagePickerViewController, and i wanted to open the camera roll. But, in my app, i have a button to open my camera roll and another one to open my camera. When i take a picture or record a video, obviously i wanted to see those images in my camera roll. But, in my app, when i start to record a video, he doesn't show up in my camera roll's app.
Here's a little bit of code:
UIImagePickerController *cameraRoll = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[cameraRoll setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary];
[cameraRoll setDelegate:self];
[self presentModalViewController:cameraRoll animated:YES];
At this time i can't see my videos in my camera roll's app. Could someone help me?
You just can do like this:
if([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:
UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary]) {
UIImagePickerController *picker= [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
picker.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie, (NSString *)kUTTypeImage, nil];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
Sets the file types you want to get on the property of the PickerViewControllerObject "mediaTypes" and you're ready.
You can found the docs types here.

iPad2 camera display not showing

I have an iPhone app that displays the camera using UIImagePicker to take a picture. I am porting it to iPad2 and when i want to display the camera (through a modalviewcontroller) i get the camera buttons but the display in the preview is just white. If i take the picture i can see it.
Does this happen to you?
I am experiencing the same problem. I moved the UIImagePicker code to my rootviewcontroller, and it worked. I could see what was actually through the viewfinder. It also worked via a popover in the existing viewcontroller (called next after the rootviewcontroller), but the resolution was poor when I displayed the photo. This is not satisfactory, but I guess I found a workaround if absolutely necessary.
Yesterday only i have tried this code to use camera to take pics. from my app and it worked on iphone after porting it.
I think you need to call takePicture method on the controller.
Just a guess.
if([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:sourceType])
{
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.sourceType = sourceType;
picker.delegate = self;
if(sourceType == UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera)
[picker takePicture];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
}
