When should I use UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary instead of UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum?

Question

I have an application that allows the user to pick a photo from their device. To do this, I\'m using the UIImagePickerController, but the problem is that I\'m unsure whethe

Answer 1

UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary references the entire photo library, letting the user choose which album. UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum goes straight to the camera roll album without giving the user a choice as to which album to choose from. They're similar, but different. You can get to the camera roll from PhotoLibrary; you can access only the camera roll from UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum.
