iOS 9 でこれを行おうとしている人にとっては、ALAssetsLibrary が廃止され、新しい Photos ライブラリが優先されたため、状況は少し複雑になっています。
特定のアルバム名に UIImages を追加する (存在しない場合はアルバムを作成する) ための Swift コードを次に示します。必要に応じてリファクタリング/最適化を行う必要がある場合があります。
func insertImage(image : UIImage, intoAlbumNamed albumName : String) {
//Fetch a collection in the photos library that has the title "albumNmame"
let collection = fetchAssetCollectionWithAlbumName(albumName)
if collection == nil {
//If we were unable to find a collection named "albumName" we'll create it before inserting the image
PHPhotoLibrary.sharedPhotoLibrary().performChanges({
PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetCollectionWithTitle(albumName)
}, completionHandler: {(success : Bool, error : NSError?) in
if error != nil {
print("Error: " + error!.description)
}
if success {
//Fetch the newly created collection (which we *assume* exists here)
let newCollection = self.fetchAssetCollectionWithAlbumName(albumName)
self.insertImage(image, intoAssetCollection: newCollection!)
}
}
)
} else {
//If we found the existing AssetCollection with the title "albumName", insert into it
self.insertImage(image, intoAssetCollection: collection!)
}
}
func fetchAssetCollectionWithAlbumName(albumName : String) -> PHAssetCollection? {
//Provide the predicate to match the title of the album.
let fetchOption = PHFetchOptions()
fetchOption.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "title == '" + albumName + "'")
//Fetch the album using the fetch option
let fetchResult = PHAssetCollection.fetchAssetCollectionsWithType(
PHAssetCollectionType.Album,
subtype: PHAssetCollectionSubtype.AlbumRegular,
options: fetchOption)
//Assuming the album exists and no album shares it's name, it should be the only result fetched
let collection = fetchResult.firstObject as? PHAssetCollection
return collection
}
func insertImage(image : UIImage, intoAssetCollection collection : PHAssetCollection) {
//Changes for the Photos Library must be maded within the performChanges block
PHPhotoLibrary.sharedPhotoLibrary().performChanges({
//This will request a PHAsset be created for the UIImage
let creationRequest = PHAssetCreationRequest.creationRequestForAssetFromImage(image)
//Create a change request to insert the new PHAsset in the collection
let request = PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest(forAssetCollection: collection)
//Add the PHAsset placeholder into the creation request.
//The placeholder is used because the actual PHAsset hasn't been created yet
if request != nil && creationRequest.placeholderForCreatedAsset != nil {
request!.addAssets([creationRequest.placeholderForCreatedAsset!])
}
},
completionHandler: { (success : Bool, error : NSError?) in
if error != nil {
print("Error: " + error!.description)
}
}
)
}
