Saving JPG image from Documents to Photo Album - Sample Code

Question

I have generated JPG image, saved to Documents folder, that not comes with bundle. Please help with the building class for saving it to Gallery.

To make complete solution:

// tools.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface tools : NSObject {

}

@end

// tools.m

#import "tools.m"

@implementation tools

-(IBAction)saveImage{

    NSArray *paths=NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory=[paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *imagePath=[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"file7.jpg"];
    UIImage *image=[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:imagePath];
    UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, self,@selector(savedPhotoImage:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:), nil);
}
@end

In the end have to call it from CPP wrapper:

void onCPPSaveImgToCamRoll ( )
{
    return saveImage;
}

Answer 1

Your answer is in the first page of the UIImage Class Reference.

void UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum (
   UIImage  *image,
   id       completionTarget,
   SEL      completionSelector,
   void     *contextInfo
);

Answer 2

try getting imagePath like this:

NSArray *paths=NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory=[paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *imagePath=[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Image.jpg"];

then setting image:

 UIImage *image=[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:imagePath];
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, self,@selector(savedPhotoImage:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:), nil);

savedPhotoImage:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo: will be called when finished saving or failing

just create two methods in your class:

-(void)saveImage{ 

NSArray *paths=NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); 

NSString *documentsDirectory=[paths objectAtIndex:0]; 

NSString *imagePath=[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Image.jpg"]; 

UIImage *image=[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:imagePath]; 

UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, self,@selector(savedPhotoImage:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:), nil);


} 
- (void)savedPhotoImage:(UIImage *)image didFinishSavingWithError:(NSError *)error contextInfo:(void *)contextInf{ 

// possible error handling

}

and you should be ok –
