Get Albums

You can use allSystemAlbums or allUserCustomAlbums methods to get albums in your device. These methods return a array contain LIAlbum objects.

NSArray *systemAlbums = [self.manager allSystemAlbums];
NSArray *customAlbums = [self.manager allUserCustomAlbums];

Get Photos

Before obtaining Photos, you must get the LIID object. There are two ways to get that object. One is read from LIAlbum object, another is use the allPhotosIDSortByCreateDateAscending:

NSArray *imageIDs = [self.manager allPhotosIDSortByCreateDateAscending:YES];

Everything is ready ,use the following methods to get the photos you want:

• requestThumbnailImageForID:size:contentMode:target:resultHandler:
• requestOriginalImageForID:target:resultHandler:
• requestOriginalImageDataForID:target:resultHandler:

Esample

LIID *idObj = self.imageIDs[index];
UIImageView *imageView = self.imageView;
[self.manager requestThumbnailImageForID:idObj size:CGSizeMake(100, 100) contentMode:0 target:imageView resultHandler:^(UIImage *result, id target, NSDictionary *info) {
	UIImageView *imageView = target;
	imageView.image = result;
}];
