How to display 'Camera Roll' directly using ImagePickerController

Question

I want to directly open the 'Camera Roll' album using the imagePickerController instead of showing all 3 albums (camera roll, photo library, last import).

Is there any way to do that?

Answer 1

Use

imagePickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;

It will directly take you to camera roll.

Answer 2

It is very simple to do that ... For an example of a button ... You click on the button and then try to use :

imgPicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera; 

By using that you will force the Controller to use the camera. .

[self presentModalViewController:imgPicker animated:YES]; 

imgPicker is here the name of my controller

Answer 3

To achieve this you have only oneway..

You can create customImagePickerController and grab display all camera roll images in it.

For that you can use collectionview

or else

make use of Photos Framework

@property(nonatomic , strong) PHFetchResult *assetsFetchResults;
     NSMutableArray *array;

    PHFetchOptions *fetchOptions = [[PHFetchOptions alloc] init];
    fetchOptions.predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"title = %@", @"Custom Photo Album"];
    collection = [PHAssetCollection fetchAssetCollectionsWithType:PHAssetCollectionTypeAlbum
                                                          subtype:PHAssetCollectionSubtypeAny
                                                          options:fetchOptions].firstObject;

_assetsFetchResults = [PHAsset fetchAssetsInAssetCollection:collection options:nil];

Use the above code and put your album name whose data you want to Fetch in the place of "Custom Photo Album"

PHFetchResult *collectionResult = [PHAsset fetchAssetsInAssetCollection:collection options:nil];
for (int h=0; h<[collectionResult count]; h++) {
    PHAsset *asset1 = collectionResult[h];   
    [_imageManager requestImageForAsset:asset1 targetSize:frame.size contentMode:PHImageContentModeAspectFill options:nil resultHandler:^(UIImage *result, NSDictionary *info)
     {
         [array2 addObject:result];
     }];
}
NSLog(@"array count%lu",(unsigned long)[array2 count]);

and use the array anywhere you want to display all albums images

Answer 5

Tou can use this code to access directly

imagePickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum

but you will have to have a better UI

Try this framework which gives both cam and cam roll
