I've created an album programmatically using the Photo framework.
if let first_Obj:AnyObject = collection.firstObject{
//found the album
self.albumFound = true
self.assetCollection = collection.firstObject as PHAssetCollection
}else{
//Album placeholder for the asset collection, used to reference collection in completion handler
var albumPlaceholder:PHObjectPlaceholder!
//create the folder
NSLog("\nFolder \"%@\" does not exist\nCreating now...", albumName)
PHPhotoLibrary.sharedPhotoLibrary().performChanges({
let request = PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetCollectionWithTitle(albumName)
albumPlaceholder = request.placeholderForCreatedAssetCollection
},
completionHandler: {(success:Bool, error:NSError!)in
NSLog("Creation of folder -> %@", (success ? "Success":"Error!"))
self.albumFound = (success ? true:false)
if(success){
let collection = PHAssetCollection.fetchAssetCollectionsWithLocalIdentifiers([albumPlaceholder.localIdentifier], options: nil)
self.assetCollection = collection?.firstObject as PHAssetCollection
}
Now I'm interested in using ImagePicker to grab videos just from that album ... Is this possible? or do I have to implement this in some other way? I also want the video (clip) to be editable so if possible I would like to use UIImagePickerController
