How to send image path as a parameter while uploading the image in the Gallery

Question

Where to save image path i am uploading image for the gallery and need to pass the image path as a parameter

- (IBAction)chooseFileBtn:(id)sender {
    // For picking image from gallery

    UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    picker.delegate = self;
    picker.allowsEditing = YES;
    picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
    [self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:nil];
}

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
    // output image

    UIImage *chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
    //self.profileImageView.image = chosenImage;
    [picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

Answer 1

Get the path of the image chosen from library using the following code in using Image Picker ViewController:

 - (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
    [picker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    NSURL *imagePath = [info objectForKey:@"UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL"];
    NSString *imageName = [imagePath lastPathComponent];
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *localFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:imageName];
    NSLog(@"localFilePath.%@",localFilePath);
  }

For uploading this path to server as a parameter you can create a multipart/form-data request as in (POST multipart/form-data with Objective-C) I hope it solves your issue.Happy coding!
