How to allow user to pick the image with Swift?

Question

I am writing my first iOS application (iPhone only) with Swift. The main application view should allow user to choose the image from the photo gallery.

I've found the following sample code of ViewController.swift:

class ViewController: UIImagePickerController, UINavigationControllerDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate  {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) {

        var imagePickerController = UIImagePickerController()
        imagePickerController.delegate = self
        imagePickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.SavedPhotosAlbum
        imagePickerController.allowsEditing = true
        self.presentViewController(imagePickerController, animated: true, completion: { imageP in

        })
    }


    func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController!, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage!, editingInfo: NSDictionary!) {
        let selectedImage : UIImage = image
        println(selectedImage)
    }

}

and have the following View Controller Scene -

View Controller
 - Top Layout Guide
 - Bottom Layout Guide
 - View
   - Image View

But when I start the app, just black screen is shown. What I am doing wrong? Another sample code I've found is in Objective-C, which doesn't help me.

If you just want let the user choose image with UIImagePickerController use this code:

import UIKit


class ViewController: UIViewController, UINavigationControllerDelegate, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate {

    @IBOutlet var imageView: UIImageView!
    @IBOutlet var chooseBuuton: UIButton!
    var imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()

    @IBAction func btnClicked() {

        if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(.savedPhotosAlbum){
            print("Button capture")

            imagePicker.delegate = self
            imagePicker.sourceType = .savedPhotosAlbum
            imagePicker.allowsEditing = false

            present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }
    }

    func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController!, didFinishPickingImage image: UIImage!, editingInfo: NSDictionary!){
        self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: { () -> Void in

        })

        imageView.image = image
    }
}
