Question

I want to save image in gallery in specific folder.
When i click save i am using this code to save image

- (IBAction)saveImageToGallery:(id)sender {
NSLog(@"SaveImageToGallery");
/*
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 THis will hide button and take screen shot then will show buttons again
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 */

[AddImagesToCanvasView setHidden:YES];
[ShareOnCanvas setHidden:YES];
[CanvasButtonForRatio setHidden:YES];

for(UIButton *b in self.view.subviews) {
    if([b isKindOfClass:[UIButton class]]) {
        b.hidden = YES;
    }
}

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.frame.size);
[self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

for(UIButton *b in self.view.subviews) {
    if([b isKindOfClass:[UIButton class]]) {
        b.hidden = NO;
    }
}
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(viewImage, nil, nil, nil);

}

i want that when i click save than it open photos so i can create new album or click on existing album and save that image in that album.
How will i do that.
Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can use the foolowing code to save the image to specific Album.

ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
[library saveImage:image toAlbum:@"Midhun" withCompletionBlock:^(NSError *error) {
        if (error!=nil)
        {
            NSLog(@"Noooo error: %@", [error description]);
        }
    }];

Here image is your UIImage.

Make sure to include AssetsLibrary framework and #import <AssetsLibrary/AssetsLibrary.h>
