Incase if you don't want to have a separate button, here is a another way. Attached a gesture on imageView itself, where on tap of image a alert will popup with two option. You will have the option to choose either from gallery/photo library or to cancel the alert.
import UIKit
import CoreData
class AddDetailsViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
@IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!
var picker:UIImagePickerController? = UIImagePickerController()
@IBAction func saveButton(sender: AnyObject) {
let managedContext = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as? AppDelegate)!.managedObjectContext
let entity = NSEntityDescription.entityForName("Person", inManagedObjectContext: managedContext)
let person = Person(entity: entity!, insertIntoManagedObjectContext: managedContext)
person.image = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageView.image!, 1.0) //imageView.image
do {
try person.managedObjectContext?.save()
//people.append(person)
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Could not save \(error)")
}
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(AddDetailsViewController.tapGesture(_:)))
imageView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
imageView.userInteractionEnabled = true
picker?.delegate = self
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func tapGesture(gesture: UIGestureRecognizer) {
let alert:UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: "Profile Picture Options", message: nil, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.ActionSheet)
let gallaryAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Open Gallary", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) {
UIAlertAction in self.openGallary()
}
let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Cancel) {
UIAlertAction in self.cancel()
}
alert.addAction(gallaryAction)
alert.addAction(cancelAction)
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func openGallary() {
picker!.allowsEditing = false
picker!.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary
presentViewController(picker!, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : AnyObject]) {
if let pickedImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
imageView.contentMode = .ScaleAspectFit
imageView.image = pickedImage
}
dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
func cancel(){
print("Cancel Clicked")
}
}
Adding more to the question, implemented the logic to store images in CoreData.
