I am trying to simply enable picking multiple images from photolibrary using the UIImagePickerController, I wish I can add a subview on bottom of the photo picker so it look something like this app does:
It there a simple way you can do it? My code currently only pops the images in a standard way but I only dismiss the controller when loaded 6 images
The important thing there is if anyway I can add a small view/toolbar to the photo picker view, like the example did, I then can do the rest
- (void)getMediaFromSource:(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType)sourceType{
//get all available source types
NSArray *mediaTypes = [UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:sourceType];
//if source type available and supported media type is not null
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:sourceType
&& [mediaTypes count] > 0]) {
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
//picker.mediaTypes = mediaTypes; //allow videos
picker.delegate = self;
picker.sourceType = sourceType; //set source type to the given type
/** WANT TO ADD A CUSTOM VIEW IN THE PHOTO PICKER VIEW **/
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:nil];
} else {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error accessing media"
message:@"Device doesn't support that media type"
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:@"Drat !"
otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
}
}
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{
self.lastChosenMediaType = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaType]; //record media type
//if media type is image
if ([lastChosenMediaType isEqual:(NSString *) kUTTypeImage]) {
UIImage *chosenImage = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]; //load image
//save the image if is from camera shot
if (imageOrVideoSourceType == UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera) {
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum (chosenImage, nil, nil , nil);
}
[images addObject:chosenImage]; //add to image list
imageNum++;
}
changeImageOrVideo = true;
if(imageNum >= 5){
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
