I'm trying to figure out a way to have my iOS app save a screenshot to the Camera Roll and then pop up an alert to tell the user that the screenshot was saved successfully.
The only way I can think to do this would be with some form of an if/else loop (as you'll see in my pseudocode comments below), but I can't think of any syntax to work with the UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum
function from UIKit. I've come across suggestions that say to use completionSelector and completionTarget on Apple's development site, but I don't really understand how to use them or what specific diction I should use for the completionSelector
and completionTarget
in my code. I'm relatively new to Swift.
Can someone explain how they work and how I can find the syntax for using them in my code?
func screenshotMethod()
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(HighchartsView.scrollView.contentSize, false, 0);
view.layer.renderInContext(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext())
let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nil, nil)
//if saved to Camera Roll
// {
// confirmScreenshot()
// }
//
//else
// {
// exit code/stop
// }
}
func confirmScreenshot()
{
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Success", message: "This chart has been successfully saved to your Camera Roll.", preferredStyle: .Alert)
let defaultAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Default, handler: nil)
alertController.addAction(defaultAction)
presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBAction func buttonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
presentImagePickerController()
}
}
extension ViewController: UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
func presentImagePickerController() {
let imagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
imagePickerController.delegate = self
imagePickerController.sourceType = .PhotoLibrary
imagePickerController.allowsEditing = false
presentViewController(imagePickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage, editingInfo: [String : AnyObject]?) {
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, self, "image:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:", nil)
}
func imagePickerControllerDidCancel(picker: UIImagePickerController) {
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
func image(image: UIImage, didFinishSavingWithError error: NSError?, contextInfo:UnsafePointer<Void>) {
guard error == nil else {
//Error saving image
return
}
//Image saved successfully
}
}
