Saving Images to the Photo Album
Save a snapped image (or any UIImage
instance, actually) to the photo album by calling UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum()
. This function takes four arguments. The first is the image to save. The second and third arguments specify a callback target and selector, typically your primary view controller and image:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:
. The fourth argument is an optional context pointer. Whatever selector you use, it must take three arguments: an image, an error, and a pointer to the passed context information.
Recipe 8-2 uses the UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum()
function to demonstrate how to snap a new image, allow user edits, and then save the image to the photo album.
