Complete copy-paste working image picker for swift 4 based on @user3182143 answer:
import Foundation
import UIKit
class ImagePickerManager: NSObject, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
var picker = UIImagePickerController();
var alert = UIAlertController(title: "Choose Image", message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
var viewController: UIViewController?
var pickImageCallback : ((UIImage) -> ())?;
override init(){
super.init()
let cameraAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: .default){
UIAlertAction in
self.openCamera()
}
let galleryAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Gallery", style: .default){
UIAlertAction in
self.openGallery()
}
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel){
UIAlertAction in
}
// Add the actions
picker.delegate = self
alert.addAction(cameraAction)
alert.addAction(galleryAction)
alert.addAction(cancelAction)
}
func pickImage(_ viewController: UIViewController, _ callback: @escaping ((UIImage) -> ())) {
pickImageCallback = callback;
self.viewController = viewController;
alert.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = self.viewController!.view
viewController.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func openCamera(){
alert.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
if(UIImagePickerController .isSourceTypeAvailable(.camera)){
picker.sourceType = .camera
self.viewController!.present(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
let alertController: UIAlertController = {
let controller = UIAlertController(title: "Warning", message: "You don't have camera", preferredStyle: .alert)
let action = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default)
controller.addAction(action)
return controller
}()
viewController?.present(alertController, animated: true)
}
}
func openGallery(){
alert.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
picker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
self.viewController!.present(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
//for swift below 4.2
//func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
// picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
// let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as! UIImage
// pickImageCallback?(image)
//}
// For Swift 4.2+
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
guard let image = info[.originalImage] as? UIImage else {
fatalError("Expected a dictionary containing an image, but was provided the following: \(info)")
}
pickImageCallback?(image)
}
@objc func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, pickedImage: UIImage?) {
}
}
Call it from your viewcontroller like this:
ImagePickerManager().pickImage(self){ image in
//here is the image
}
Also don't forget to include the following keys in your info.plist:
NSCameraUsageDescription
This app requires access to the camera.
NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription
This app requires access to the photo library.
