Installation
Download the contents of this repo and add these files to your project:
UIMediaAlertController.h
UIMediaAlertController.m
UIMedia.h
UIMedia.m
Include these frameworks in your project:
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
#import <MobileCoreServices/MobileCoreServices.h>
#import <ImageIO/ImageIO.h>Usage
First, import the UIMediaAlertController.h file into the place you want to use it:
#import "UIMediaAlertController.h"There are 2 methods of using the UIMediaAlertController:
- Shared Instance
- Stored Property
The benefits of using the shared instance is that it's really simple to call, and that the same UIMedia object is used throughout the app - unless you call: [UIMediaAlertController resetMedia]; For example:
[UIMediaAlertController presentWithType:MediaTypeImage picked:^{
// Retreive global media by using:
UIMedia *media = [UIMediaAlertController media];
// Reset global media:
[UIMediaAlertController resetMedia];
}];The other method, is storing the UIMediaAlertController property in your header file MyViewController.h like so:
// MyViewController.h
#import "UIMediaAlertController.h"
@implementation MyViewController : UIViewController
@property (strong, nonatomic) UIMediaAlertController *uimac;
@end
MyViewController.m":
@implementation MyViewController
- (IBAction)chooseImageButtonClicked:(UIButton *)sender {
self.uimac = [[UIMediaAlertController alloc] init];
[self.uimac presentWithType:MediaTypeImage picked:^{
// get media:
UIMedia *media = self.uimac.media;
// resent media:
[self.uimac resetMedia];
}];
}
@end
