is it possible to implement the photolibrary view to the custom thumbnail view as the default one is the grid list..(ie.,for example listing it in a uitableview)can u please help me out..i was strucked with this one from past one week....
Read about ALAssetsLibrary
here is my code:
-(void)viewDidLoad{
void (^assetEnumerator)(struct ALAsset *, NSUInteger, BOOL *) = ^(ALAsset *result, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop) {
if(result != NULL) {
//Add result to your array for UITableView
}
};
void (^assetGroupEnumerator)(struct ALAssetsGroup *, BOOL *) = ^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop) {
if(group != nil) {
[group enumerateAssetsUsingBlock:assetEnumerator];
}
};
ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
[library enumerateGroupsWithTypes: ALAssetsGroupSavedPhotos
usingBlock: assetGroupEnumerator
failureBlock: ^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Failure: %#", error);
}];
}

I want to get all of the pictures from photoLibrary. I would prefer a method or example that I can use directly.
//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");}];
}

Use getAllPicture method to get photos from photo library.

Since ALAssetsLibrary is deprecated now and Photo Framework is new one. I made my own function in Objective C to get all photos from Camera Roll and store in NSArray and displayed in my Collectionview
NSArray *imageArray;
NSMutableArray *mutableArray;
-(void)getAllPhotosFromCamera
{
imageArray=[[NSArray alloc] init];
mutableArray =[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
PHImageRequestOptions *requestOptions = [[PHImageRequestOptions alloc] init];
requestOptions.resizeMode = PHImageRequestOptionsResizeModeExact;
requestOptions.deliveryMode = PHImageRequestOptionsDeliveryModeHighQualityFormat;
requestOptions.synchronous = true;
PHFetchResult *result = [PHAsset fetchAssetsWithMediaType:PHAssetMediaTypeImage options:nil];
NSLog(#"%d",(int)result.count);
PHImageManager *manager = [PHImageManager defaultManager];
NSMutableArray *images = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[result count]];
// assets contains PHAsset objects.
__block UIImage *ima;
for (PHAsset *asset in result) {
// Do something with the asset
[manager requestImageForAsset:asset
targetSize:PHImageManagerMaximumSize
contentMode:PHImageContentModeDefault
options:requestOptions
resultHandler:^void(UIImage *image, NSDictionary *info) {
ima = image;
[images addObject:ima];
}];
}
imageArray = [images copy]; // You can direct use NSMutuable Array images
}
-(void)getFromGallery:(BOOL )IsImages
{
if(self.csCollectionsArray != nil)
[self.csCollectionsArray removeAllObjects];
__block NSMutableDictionary *date = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
ALAssetsLibrary *csAssetsLibrary = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
NSUInteger groupTypes = ALAssetsGroupAlbum | ALAssetsGroupEvent | ALAssetsGroupFaces | ALAssetsGroupSavedPhotos;
[csAssetsLibrary enumerateGroupsWithTypes:groupTypes usingBlock:^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop)
{
if([group numberOfAssets] > 0)
{
if(IsImages)
[group setAssetsFilter:[ALAssetsFilter allPhotos]];
else
[group setAssetsFilter:[ALAssetsFilter allVideos]];
[group enumerateAssetsWithOptions:NSEnumerationReverse usingBlock:^(ALAsset *asset, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop)
{
if(asset)
{ //1.fetching all assets from device library
//2.Add all fetched assests from library
[date setObject:asset forKey:[asset valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyDate]];
}
}];
}
else
{ NSLog(#"---> load table -------->");
if(date != nil && date.count > 0)

}];
}
You can use this below method to fetch all images or videos from assets library in ios.
Use this assetslibrary framework(must)
NOTE:- #import
-(void)getFromGallery:(BOOL )IsImages
{
if(self.csCollectionsArray != nil)
[self.csCollectionsArray removeAllObjects];
__block NSMutableDictionary *date = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
ALAssetsLibrary *csAssetsLibrary = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
NSUInteger groupTypes = ALAssetsGroupAlbum | ALAssetsGroupEvent | ALAssetsGroupFaces | ALAssetsGroupSavedPhotos;
[csAssetsLibrary enumerateGroupsWithTypes:groupTypes usingBlock:^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop)
{
if([group numberOfAssets] > 0)
{
if(IsImages)
[group setAssetsFilter:[ALAssetsFilter allPhotos]];
else
[group setAssetsFilter:[ALAssetsFilter allVideos]];
[group enumerateAssetsWithOptions:NSEnumerationReverse usingBlock:^(ALAsset *asset, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop)
{
if(asset)
{ //1.fetching all assets from device library
//2.Add all fetched assests from library
[date setObject:asset forKey:[asset valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyDate]];
}
}];
}
else
{ NSLog(#"---> load table -------->");
if(date != nil && date.count > 0)
{ //3.Sort using date by ascending order and moved to dictionary to array
NSArray *sortedKeys = [[date allKeys] sortedArrayUsingSelector: #selector(compare:)];
for (NSString *key in sortedKeys)
[self.csCollectionsArray addObject: [date objectForKey:key]];
//4.Load images into collection view after fetching all datas
[self reloadCollectionView];
if(self.csCollectionView != nil)
[self.csCollectionView scrollToItemAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:([self.csCollectionsArray count] - 1) inSection:0] atScrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionBottom animated:YES];
}
date = nil;
}
}failureBlock:^(NSError *error)
{
if((csCollectionsArray == nil || [csCollectionsArray count] == 0))
{
ALAuthorizationStatus status = [ALAssetsLibrary authorizationStatus]; if(status != ALAuthorizationStatusAuthorized)
{
[self showAlertAndCloseUploaderView:#"You can just go to \"Settings\" app (General -> Reset -> Reset Location & Privacy) then come again and click ok when the alert dialog is showing for enable the permission to access the photo library"];

I have used demo example of avcapture ,i wanna display image in imagview in viewcontroller after take photo i have use code
{
ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
[library enumerateGroupsWithTypes:ALAssetsGroupSavedPhotos usingBlock:^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop) {
NSInteger numberOfAssets = [group numberOfAssets];
if (numberOfAssets > 0) {
NSInteger lastIndex = numberOfAssets-1;
[group enumerateAssetsAtIndexes:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:lastIndex] options:0 usingBlock:^(ALAsset *result, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop) {
UIImage *thumbnail = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:[result thumbnail]];
if (thumbnail && thumbnail.size.width > 0) {
imagviewlastimage.image = thumbnail;
*stop = YES;
}
}];
}
} failureBlock:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error: %#", error);
}];
to get last image from photo library but i am gatting second last image
and to redirect viewController after pick image i have wrote in
captureManagerStillImageCaptured:(AVCamCaptureManager *)captureManager delegate
ViewController *temp=[[ViewController alloc]init];
temp.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
[self presentModalViewController:temp animated:YES];
use as this , how to resolve this ? ya pause screen after take photo
I am trying to access iPhone's photo album photo images through ALAssetsLibrary. I could access all the photo albums and get the asset URL of each images on Simulator, via the following code:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
void (^assetEnumerator)(struct ALAsset *, NSUInteger, BOOL *) = ^(ALAsset *result, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop) {
if(result != NULL) {
NSLog(#"See Asset: %#", result);
// assets is a NSMutableArray..
[assets addObject:result];
// Here storing the asset's image URL's in NSMutablearray urlStoreArr
NSURL *url = [[result defaultRepresentation] url];
[urlStoreArr addObject:url];
}
};
void (^assetGroupEnumerator)(struct ALAssetsGroup *, BOOL *) = ^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop)
{
if(group != nil) {
[group enumerateAssetsUsingBlock:assetEnumerator];
}
[self.activity stopAnimating];
[self.activity setHidden:YES];
};
assets = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
[library enumerateGroupsWithTypes:ALAssetsGroupAlbum usingBlock:assetGroupEnumerator failureBlock: ^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Failure");
}];
urlStoreArr = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
}
-(void) GetURLImages
{
for (int i=0; i<[urlStoreArr count]; i++)
{
// To get the each image URL here...
NSString *str = [urlStoreArr objectAtIndex:i];
NSLog(#"str: %#",str);
}
}
It works as expected on iOS 4.0 Simulator, i.e, getting all the images URL's (ex: assets-library://asset/asset.JPG?id=1000000002&ext=JPG). But it doesn't retrieve image URL's on iPod 4.1 device. What could be the problem here? Can someone please help me fix so the code could also work on iPod? I'm totally confused.
Thank you!
Try what I mentioned in my comment or the following
library enumerateGroupsWithTypes:ALAssetsGroupSavedPhotos
It also depends what photos you want.
void (^assetGroupEnumerator)(struct ALAssetsGroup *, BOOL *) = ^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop)
{
if(group != nil) {
[group enumerateAssetsUsingBlock:assetEnumerator];
}
[self.activity stopAnimating];
[self.activity setHidden:YES];
/* make */ group=nil;//otherwise it is enumerated thrice.
};
I would like to know how to retrieve video format using AssetLibrary and display on uilabel? i read on forum to use ALAssetPropertyRepresentations but im just lost. some help please?
I'm not sure what you mean by "format", but this code will display the video's UTI (basically, file type) and any metadata.
ALAssetsGroupEnumerationResultsBlock assetEnumerator = ^(ALAsset *asset, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop) {
if(asset != nil) {
ALAssetRepresentation* representation = [asset defaultRepresentation];
NSLog(#"UTI = %#", [representation UTI]);
NSLog(#"Metadata = %#", [representation metadata]);
}
};
ALAssetsLibraryGroupsEnumerationResultsBlock assetGroupEnumerator = ^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop) {
if(group != nil) {
[group setAssetsFilter:[ALAssetsFilter allVideos]];
[group enumerateAssetsUsingBlock:assetEnumerator];
}
};
ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
[library enumerateGroupsWithTypes:ALAssetsGroupAll
usingBlock:assetGroupEnumerator
failureBlock:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"A problem occured. %#", error);
}];
[library release];
(Code modified from here.)
If you already have your asset, the code to update the label looks like this:
myLabel.text = [[myAsset defaultRepresentation] UTI];
i came across the following piece of code which loads everything from photo album but what should i do if i only wanted to load the video type in the photo album on a table?
thanks in advance.
void (^assetEnumerator)(struct ALAsset *,NSUInteger, BOOL *) = ^(ALAsset *result, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop){
if(result != nil){
NSLog(#"Asset:%#", result);
[Asset addObject:result];
}
};
void (^assetGroupEnumerator)(struct ALAssetsGroup *, BOOL *) = ^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop){
if(group != nil){
[group enumerateAssetsUsingBlock: assetEnumerator];
}
[self.tableView reloadData];
};
Asset = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
ALAssetsLibrary *Library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
[Library enumerateGroupsWithTypes:ALAssetsGroupAlbum
usingBlock:assetGroupEnumerator
failureBlock:^(NSError *error){
NSLog(#"error occurred");
}];
Have a look at the -valueForProperty: instance method of ALAsset. Specifically, in your example with ALAsset *result:
if ([[result valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyType] isEqualToString:ALAssetTypeVideo]) {
// asset is a video
}
I think this will be better.
if ([result valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyType] == ALAssetTypeVideo) {
// asset is a video
}
