Can get image from PHAsset of library

Question

I am using QBImagePickerController for selecting multiple images at a time.

So, here is my whole code

I am presenting imagepickerController with this code

let imagePickerController = QBImagePickerController()
imagePickerController.delegate = self
imagePickerController.allowsMultipleSelection = true
imagePickerController.mediaType = .Image
self.presentViewController(imagePickerController, animated: 
true, completion: nil)

so when I choose multiple images and click done, This method called

func qb_imagePickerController(imagePickerController: QBImagePickerController!, didFinishPickingAssets assets: [AnyObject]!) {
        for asset in assets {
            print(asset.fileName)   
        }
        self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    }

For example, I select one image then it prints like this

<PHAsset: 0x7fc55d954500> 6006CE57-81FE-4DC0-8C52-5DB43CE7638D/L0/001 mediaType=1/0, sourceType=1, (1920x1080), creationDate=2016-05-26 09:15:34 +0000, location=0, hidden=0, favorite=0 

From this how can I get image and set it into collectionview?

I get fileName from it but its not worthy to set image from it.

I use filePathURL, fileURL, absoluteURL but nothing happened it crashed

So please help me with it
Thank you

You need to use requestImageForAsset to get UIImage. You can get image like this way

func qb_imagePickerController(imagePickerController: QBImagePickerController!, didFinishPickingAssets assets: [AnyObject]!) {


    let requestOptions = PHImageRequestOptions()
    requestOptions.resizeMode = PHImageRequestOptionsResizeMode.Exact
    requestOptions.deliveryMode = PHImageRequestOptionsDeliveryMode.HighQualityFormat
    // this one is key
    requestOptions.synchronous = true

    for asset in assets
    {
        if (asset.mediaType == PHAssetMediaType.Image)
        {

            PHImageManager.defaultManager().requestImageForAsset(asset as! PHAsset, targetSize: PHImageManagerMaximumSize, contentMode: PHImageContentMode.Default, options: requestOptions, resultHandler: { (pickedImage, info) in

                self.yourImageview.image = pickedImage // you can get image like this way

            })

        }
    }
    imagePickerController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}

Get video URL from PHAsset in Swift 4.2 from didFinishPickingAssets in QBImagePickerController

let imagePicker = QBImagePickerController()
imagePicker.delegate = self
imagePicker.numberOfColumnsInPortrait = 2
imagePicker.maximumNumberOfSelection = 2
imagePicker.allowsMultipleSelection = true
imagePicker.mediaType = .video

self.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)

func qb_imagePickerController(_ imagePickerController: QBImagePickerController!, didFinishPickingAssets assets: [Any]!) {
    for asset in assets
    {
        PHCachingImageManager().requestAVAsset(forVideo: asset as! PHAsset, options: nil, resultHandler: {(asset, audioMix, info) -> Void in
            if asset != nil {
                let avasset = asset as! AVURLAsset
                let urlVideo = avasset.url
                yourarray.add(urlVideo as URL)
            }

        })

    }


    imagePickerController.dismiss(animated: true) {
        //You can access video urls here
        print("Total Videos:\(yourarray.count)")
    }

}
