How to allow user to pick the image with Swift?

Question

I am writing my first iOS application (iPhone only) with Swift. The main application view should allow user to choose the image from the photo gallery.

I\'ve found

Answer 1

click on button and open Image gallery and set image in imageview swift 3.0

add three delegate UIImagePickerControllerDelegate,UIPopoverControllerDelegate,UINavigationControllerDelegate

var picker:UIImagePickerController?=UIImagePickerController()
@IBOutlet var imgPhoto: UIImageView!

   override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    picker?.delegate=self
   }

 @IBAction func btnAddPhotoClicked(_ sender: UIButton) {
    openGallary()
   }

func openGallary()
{
    picker!.allowsEditing = false
    picker!.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary
    present(picker!, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

//MARK:- ImagePicker Controller Delegate
//MARK:-

func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: 
UIImagePickerController) {
    dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
    if let chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
        imgPhoto.contentMode = .scaleToFill
        imgPhoto.image = chosenImage
    } else{
        print("Something went wrong")
    }

    self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Try this one it's easy.. to Pic a Image using UIImagePickerControllerDelegate

    @objc func masterAction(_ sender: UIButton)
    {
        if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(.savedPhotosAlbum){
            print("Button capture")

            imagePicker.delegate = self
            imagePicker.sourceType = .savedPhotosAlbum;
            imagePicker.allowsEditing = false

            self.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }

        print("hello i'm touch \(sender.tag)")
    }

    func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker:
        UIImagePickerController) {
        dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

    func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
        if let chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
            print("Get Image \(chosenImage)")
            ImageList.insert(chosenImage, at: 0)
            ArrayList.insert("", at: 0)
            Collection_Vw.reloadData()
        } else{
            print("Something went wrong")
        }

        self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

Just answering here to mention: info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage] is probably the one you want to use in most cases.

Other than that, the answers here are comprehensive.

Answer 4

Xcode 10, Swift 4.2

Below is a slightly optimized version of the implementation. This is in Swift 4.2 and I have tested it too.

You can see the complete code for ViewController here. Please note that you have to define an IBOutlet (imageView) and IBAction (didTapOnChooseImageButton) defined and connected in storyboard too. Hope this helps.

import UIKit

class ImagePickViewController: UIViewController,UIImagePickerControllerDelegate,UINavigationControllerDelegate {

var imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
@IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

@IBAction func didTapOnChooseImageButton(_ sender: Any) {
    let alert:UIAlertController=UIAlertController(title: "Choose Image", message: nil, preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.actionSheet)
    let cameraAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default) {
        UIAlertAction in
        self.openCamera(UIImagePickerController.SourceType.camera)
    }
    let gallaryAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Gallary", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default) {
        UIAlertAction in
        self.openCamera(UIImagePickerController.SourceType.photoLibrary)
    }
    let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertAction.Style.cancel) {
        UIAlertAction in
    }

    // Add the actions
    imagePicker.delegate = self as UIImagePickerControllerDelegate & UINavigationControllerDelegate
    alert.addAction(cameraAction)
    alert.addAction(gallaryAction)
    alert.addAction(cancelAction)
    self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

func openCamera(_ sourceType: UIImagePickerController.SourceType) {
    imagePicker.sourceType = sourceType
    self.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

//MARK:UIImagePickerControllerDelegate

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController,
                                    didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
    imageView.image = info[UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.originalImage] as? UIImage
    imagePicker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(_ picker: UIImagePickerController) {
    print("imagePickerController cancel")
}

}

Do this stuff for displaying photo library images swift coding:

var pkcrviewUI = UIImagePickerController()
        if UIImagePickerController .isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary)
        {
            pkcrviewUI.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary
            pkcrviewUI.allowsEditing = true
            pkcrviewUI.delegate = self
            [self .presentViewController(pkcrviewUI, animated: true , completion: nil)]
        }

Answer 6

I know this is question is a year old, but here's some pretty simple code (mostly from this tutorial) that's working well for me:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {

@IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!

var imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    self.imagePicker.delegate = self
}

@IBAction func loadImageButtonTapped(sender: AnyObject) {
    print("hey!")
    self.imagePicker.allowsEditing = false
    self.imagePicker.sourceType = .SavedPhotosAlbum

    self.presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {
    if let pickedImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
        self.imageView.contentMode = .ScaleAspectFit
        self.imageView.image = pickedImage
    }

    dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

}

func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(picker: UIImagePickerController) {
    self.imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
    dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
