The iOS 9 SDK provides access to both the camera device and photo library through the UIImagePickerController class. This allows videos and photographs to be taken from within an application and for existing photos and videos to be presented to the user for selection.
This chapter will cover the basics and some of the theory behind the use of the UIImagePickerController class before working through the step by step creation of an example application in [[An Example iOS 9 Camera Application]].
== The UIImagePickerController Class ==
== Summary ==
In this chapter we have provided an overview of the UIImagePickerController and looked at how this class can be used either to allow a user to take a picture or record video from within an iOS application or select media from the device photo libraries. Now that the theory has been covered, the next chapter entitled [[An Example iOS 9 Camera Application ]] will work through the development of an example application designed to implement the theory covered in this chapter.
