ALAssetsLibrary-CustomPhotoAlbum

A nice ALAssetsLibrary category for saving images into custom photo album by @MarinTodorov.

Usage

//      |image|: The target image to be saved
//  |albumName|: Custom album name
// |completion|: Block to be executed when succeed to write the image data
//               to the assets library (camera roll)
//    |failure|: Block to be executed when failed to add the asset to the
//               custom photo album
- (void)saveImage:(UIImage *)image
          toAlbum:(NSString *)albumName
       completion:(ALAssetsLibraryWriteImageCompletionBlock)completion
          failure:(ALAssetsLibraryAccessFailureBlock)failure;

And for video:

//   |videoUrl|: The target video to be saved
//  |albumName|: Custom album name
// |completion|: Block to be executed when succeed to write the image data
//               to the assets library (camera roll)
//    |failure|: Block to be executed when failed to add the asset to the
//               custom photo album
- (void)saveVideo:(NSURL *)videoUrl
          toAlbum:(NSString *)albumName
       completion:(ALAssetsLibraryWriteImageCompletionBlock)completion
          failure:(ALAssetsLibraryAccessFailureBlock)failure;

Write the image data with meta data to the assets library (camera roll).

//  |imageData|: The image data to be saved
//  |albumName|: Custom album name
//   |metadata|: Meta data for image
// |completion|: Block to be executed when succeed to write the image data
//    |failure|: block to be executed when failed to add the asset to the custom photo album
- (void)saveImageData:(NSData *)imageData
              toAlbum:(NSString *)albumName
             metadata:(NSDictionary *)metadata
           completion:(ALAssetsLibraryWriteImageCompletionBlock)completion
              failure:(ALAssetsLibraryAccessFailureBlock)failure;
