programatically listing contents of camera roll

[james_phoner]

Hello,
I'm currently working on an application, where I would like to embed some of the functionality in the camera roll viewer. Essentially, I'm using the built in images picker, and I can get an image and display it however what I want to do is figure out where I am in the camera roll and give my users the ability to got to the next/previous image or even delete the image they are viewing.

thank you in an advance.

There is nothing in the API for doing what you want.

As of iOS 4.0 you can do so using the ALAssetsLibrary:

A piece of advice:

Avoid absolute statements like that unless you are absolutely positive of the truth of your statement. Even then, it pays to hedge a little.

"I don't think there is an API for that."

The iOS SDK is an incredibly rich, complex thing. I've been working on it nearly full time since it came out, and I don't know much about over half of the frameworks in the OS. I think it's frankly beyond any one person to know the whole thing inside-out.

I used to know every memory address on my Apple II, and every byte of the ROMs, down to the character dot matrix display code. Those days are long, long gone.
