Select Video Instead of Image using ImagePickerController - Swift - swift

Question

My situation is that I have a working imagepickercontroller that allows the user to pick an image from their camera roll and display it on an imageview inside the application.
The problem is that I also want to be able to do the same thing with videos, and instead, display the video on an avplayer. I've done some research but couldn't find any good sources.
Can someone show me how to do this? possibly by editing the code below?
Thanks in advance!
This is the code I used for importing and displaying images from cameraroll (all above the viewDidLoad()):
#IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!
// the image picker controller
var imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
// this is the button you tap to import your photo
#IBAction func imageViewButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(.savedPhotosAlbum) {
imagePicker.delegate = self
imagePicker.allowsEditing = true
present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
var selectedImageFromPicker: UIImage?
if let editedImage = info[.editedImage] as? UIImage{
selectedImageFromPicker = editedImage
}else if let originalImage = info[.originalImage] as? UIImage{
selectedImageFromPicker = originalImage
}
if let selectedImage = selectedImageFromPicker {
imageView.image = selectedImage
}
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Answer 1

try this:
import AVFoundation
class VideoHelper {
static func startMediaBrowser(delegate: UIViewController & UINavigationControllerDelegate & UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, sourceType: UIImagePickerController.SourceType) {
guard UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(sourceType) else { return }
let mediaUI = UIImagePickerController()
mediaUI.sourceType = sourceType
mediaUI.mediaTypes = [kUTTypeMovie as String]
mediaUI.allowsEditing = true
mediaUI.delegate = delegate
delegate.present(mediaUI, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
and you can use this as:
let source = UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerController.SourceType.camera) ? UIImagePickerController.SourceType.camera : UIImagePickerController.SourceType.savedPhotosAlbum
VideoHelper.startMediaBrowser(delegate: self, sourceType: source)
