This recipe shows how to save a photo to the Photos Camera Roll Album, including image metadata.
Recipe
The sample code uses the Camera helper from TweetStation to take a picture, then demonstrates how to save it (with metadata) in the completion handler:
TweetStation.Camera.TakePicture (this, (obj) =>{ var photo = obj.ValueForKey(new NSString("UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage")) as UIImage; var meta = obj.ValueForKey(new NSString("UIImagePickerControllerMediaMetadata")) as NSDictionary; ALAssetsLibrary library = new ALAssetsLibrary(); library.WriteImageToSavedPhotosAlbum (photo.CGImage, meta, (assetUrl, error) =>{ Console.WriteLine ("assetUrl:"+assetUrl); }); });;
Additional Information
There is a simpler mechanism to save an existing UIImage to the Photo Album, but it does not include metadata:
var someImage = UIImage.FromFile("someImage.jpg"); someImage.SaveToPhotosAlbum((image, error) => { var o = image as UIImage; Console.WriteLine("error:" + error); });
