Saving Image To Custom Library - iphone

I have an App which stores images to Custom Library in Photo Album in iphone.
I called the following Function of ALAssetLibrary
-(void)saveImage:(UIImage*)image toAlbum:(NSString*)albumName withCompletionBlock:(SaveImageCompletion)completionBlock
{
//write the image data to the assets library (camera roll)
[self writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum:image.CGImage orientation:(ALAssetOrientation)image.imageOrientation
completionBlock:^(NSURL* assetURL, NSError* error) {
//error handling
if (error!=nil) {
completionBlock(error);
return;
}
//add the asset to the custom photo album
[self addAssetURL: assetURL
toAlbum:albumName
withCompletionBlock:completionBlock];
}];
}
in my SaveImage IBAction
-(IBAction)saveToLib:(id)sender
{
UIImage *savedImage = imgPicture.image;
NSLog(#"Saved Image%#",savedImage);
[self.library saveImage:savedImage toAlbum:#"Touch Code" withCompletionBlock:^(NSError *error) {
if (error!=nil) {
NSLog(#"Big error: %#", [error description]);
}
}];
}
but my application keep getting Crashed
Help me out
Thanks in Advance

It seems that you are not calling the [self.library saveImage:savedImage toAlbum:#....] correctly. If you are following this web site, add #import "ALAssetsLibrary+CustomPhotoAlbum.h" in your view controller.
Not sure if it is the problem. Sorry if this workaround is the wrong approach.

Problem is the file from the website he downloaded.
I had the same issue and rewriting the code myself solved this.
Maybe encoding or something like this...

GPUImage. Application crashes when trying to save photo second time

After I made [_stillCamera pauseCameraCapture]; I want to save captured photo. Code:
[_stillCamera capturePhotoAsJPEGProcessedUpToFilter:_filter withCompletionHandler:^(NSData *processedJPEG, NSError *error){
[self savePhotoToAlbum:processedJPEG];
if (error) {
NSLog(#"error")
}
}];
In first time photo saved successfully. After this I didn't make [_stillCamera resumeCameraCapture];, but when I tap save button again my application crashes without any message. How can I solve this?
Your content of the handler should look like this:
if (error)
NSLog(#"error occured code = %d", error.code);
else
[self savePhotoToAlbum:processedJPEG];

Save UIImage to Photo Album with writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum

I'm trying to save a UIImage to Photo Album. I've tried severl methods the last one is:
-(IBAction)captureLocalImage:(id)sender{
[photoCaptureButton setEnabled:NO];
// Save to assets library
ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
[library writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum: imageView.image.CGImage metadata:nil completionBlock:^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error2)
{
// report_memory(#"After writing to library");
if (error2) {
NSLog(#"ERROR: the image failed to be written");
}
else {
NSLog(#"PHOTO SAVED - assetURL: %#", assetURL);
}
runOnMainQueueWithoutDeadlocking(^{
// report_memory(#"Operation completed");
[photoCaptureButton setEnabled:YES];
});
}];
}
imageView is a UIImageView which contain the image I want to save.
On log I got "PHOTO SAVED - assetURL: (null)" and the photo doesn't save to library.
What am I doing wrong?
just use this bellow line for save the image in your photo library
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(imageView.image,nil,nil,nil);
:)
For iOS 11+ needs Privacy - Photo Library Additions Usage Description in info.plist
Add NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription in info.plist
Code:
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nil, nil);
Reference
Check out this sample.. which explains how to save photos using assets library..
you can even use..
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(UIImage *image, id completionTarget, SEL completionSelector, void *contextInfo);
cehck out his link How to save picture to iPhone photo library?
I'm using GPUImage, Apparently there is some kind of problem with the library itself.
The code above is absolutely working. If you want to read more about this issue:
GPUImagePicture with imageFromCurrentlyProcessedOutput doesn't get UIImage
Since iOS 8.1 UIKit framework has the UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum() function as vishy said.
I use it in this way:
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(myImage, self, "image:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:", nil)
and then
func image(image: UIImage, didFinishSavingWithError error: NSError?, contextInfo:UnsafePointer<Void>) {
// check error, report image has been saved, ...
}
When you take a photo from camera, then you can save image in picker delegate:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
UIImage *image = [info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
[library writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum:image.CGImage metadata:[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaMetadata] completionBlock:^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error) {
...
}];
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

Is it possible to load image from GKAchievementDescription?

I'm using this method to load all achievements description.
[GKAchievementDescription loadAchievementDescriptionsWithCompletionHandler:
^(NSArray *descriptions, NSError *error) {
CCLOG(#"achivements loaded");
if (error != nil) {
NSLog(#"Error %#", error);
} else {
if (descriptions != nil){
CCLOG(#"nb %i",descriptions.count);
for (GKAchievementDescription* a in descriptions) {
CCLOG(#"image %# %# %#", a.title, a.achievedDescription, a.image);
[achievementsDescDictionary setObject: a forKey: a.identifier];
}
} else {
CCLOG(#"descriptions empty");
}
}
}];
I always get a.image = null.
Thanks.
Actually you can't load images from Game Center.
Just add your achievements Images into your project and use this method with GKAchievementHandler
- (void)notifyAchievementTitleAndImage:(NSString *)title andMessage:(NSString *)message withImage:(UIImage *)image
if you can't load the images from game center then what about to create a plist file for mapping "achievements-images"? I used this technique for my game which is similar to 3-in-row to define various types of blocks

ALAssetsLibrary - crash after receiving ALAssetsLibraryChangedNotification

Part of my app has a photo browser, somewhat similar to Apple's Photos app, with an initial view controller to browse photo thumbnails and a detail view that's shown when you tap on a photo.
I'm using ALAssetsLibrary to access photos, and I pass an array of ALAsset URL's to my detail view controller so you can swipe from one photo to the next.
Everything works great, until I receive an ALAssetsLibraryChangedNotification while swiping from one photo to another (in the detail view controller), which often results in a crash:
NOTIFICATION: the asset library changed // my own NSLog for when the
notification occurs
loading assets... // my own NSLog for when I start reloading assets in
the thumbnail browser
Assertion failed: (size == bytesRead), function
-[ALAssetRepresentation _imageData], file /SourceCache/AssetsLibrary/MobileSlideShow-1373.58.1/Sources/ALAssetRepresentation.m,
line 224.
The specific line of code it crashes on, is in calling [currentRep metadata] as shown here:
- (void)someMethod {
NSURL *assetURL = [self.assetURLsArray objectAtIndex:index];
ALAsset *currentAsset;
[self.assetsLibrary assetForURL:assetURL resultBlock:^(ALAsset *asset) {
[self performSelectorInBackground:#selector(configureDetailViewForAsset:) withObject:asset];
} failureBlock:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"failed to retrieve asset: %#", error);
}];
}
- (void)configureDetailViewForAsset:(ALAsset *)currentAsset {
ALAssetRepresentation *currentRep = [currentAsset defaultRepresentation];
if (currentAsset != nil) {
// do some stuff
}
else {
NSLog(#"ERROR: currentAsset is nil");
}
NSDictionary *metaDictionary;
if (currentRep != nil) {
metaDictionary = [currentRep metadata];
// do some other stuff
}
else {
NSLog(#"ERROR: currentRep is nil");
}
}
I understand that once a notification is received, it invalidates any references to ALAsset and ALAssetRepresentation objects... but how am I supposed to deal with the situation where it invalidates something right in the middle of trying to access it?
I've tried setting a BOOL, right when receiving the notification to completely abort and prevent [currentRep metadata] from ever being called, but even that doesn't catch it every time:
if (self.receivedLibraryChangeNotification) {
NSLog(#"received library change notification, need to abort");
}
else {
metaDictionary = [currentRep metadata];
}
Is there anything I can do? At this point I'm almost ready to give up on using the ALAssetsLibrary framework.
(note this unresolved thread on the Apple dev forums describing the same issue: https://devforums.apple.com/message/604430 )
It seems the problem is around here:
[self.assetsLibrary assetForURL:nextURL
resultBlock:^(ALAsset *asset) {
// You should do some stuff with asset at this scope
ALAssetRepresentation *currentRep = [asset defaultRepresentation];
// Assume we have a property for that
self.assetRepresentationMetadata = [currentRep metadata];
...
// assume we have a method for that
[self updateAssetDetailsView];
}
failureBlock:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"failed to retrieve asset: %#", error);
}];
Once you have got user asset it is better to copy asset information by providing necessary data to your details controller subviews or by caching for later use. It can be helpful for avoiding ALAsset invalidation troubles. When notification ALAssetsLibraryChangedNotification sent you may need to discard details controller and query the Library content from the beginning.

Custom content printing in iphone?

I am a new bee to iphone programming and I need some help with printing.
I have a view with UIScrollView,UITextView and UIImage as its subviews. I would like to print this view such that the complete content of the scroll view and text view will available be available on the printed page. I went through the UIPrintFormatter but I am not sure of how to use it for my requirement. It would be really great if someone could give me a good answer(example\sample code) for my problem.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Came randomly to this question. No answer yet! Little help from code,
- (void) didPressPrintExpenseButton {
void (^completionHandler)(UIPrintInteractionController *, BOOL, NSError *) =
^(UIPrintInteractionController *pic, BOOL completed, NSError *error) {
if (!completed && error) NSLog(#"Print error: %#", error);
};
NSData *pdfData = [self generatePDFDataForPrinting];
printController.printingItem = pdfData;
[printController presentAnimated:YES completionHandler:completionHandler];
}
