AssetPicker - iOS (Objective-C)

AssetPicker is a UIViewController subclass that provides an alternative solution to standard UIImagePickerController. Highlights are :-

  • Have both modes within single screen (Use Library or Use Camera).
  • Select Multiple Assets (Photos / Videos).
  • Browse all the albums within one screen.
  • Filters :- Photos(Default), Videos, All
  • Supports Portrait & Landscape Modes. (Autorotation supported (UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown))
  • Uses Blocks for completion & cancel (Maintains integrity of code)
  • Provides original ALAsset in returned response. (Better use it's properties)
  • Provides ContentsURL for both Photos & Videos. (No UIImage directly, memory issues with multiple selection)
  • Considers standard TabBarHeight and leaves space for that if set YES.
  • Set Maximum Limits Independently on Photos, Videos, Assets.

Requirements

  • iOS 6.0 or later, ARC is must.
  • QuartzCore.Framework
  • AssetsLibrary.Framework

Installation

  • Like CocoaPods, just add this to your podfile-
pod 'AssetPicker'
  • Want the source directly, just copy the AssetPicker folder (Art & Source).

How To Use

Configuring AssetPicker is just like this :

[AssetPicker showAssetPickerIn:self.navigationController
              maximumAllowedPhotos:4
              maximumAllowedVideos:4
                 completionHandler:^(AssetPicker* picker, NSArray* assets)
     {
         NSLog(@"Assets --> %@", assets);

         // Do your stuff here

         // All done with the resources, let's reclaim disk memory
         [AssetPicker clearLocalCopiesForAssets];
     }
                     cancelHandler:^(AssetPicker* picker)
     {
         NSLog(@"Cancelled.");
     }];

and your work is done. AssetPicker does it all for you.
