How to make UIImagePickerController for camera and photo library at the same time in swift

Question

I use UIImagePickerController to take a photo by camera of iPhone.

I want to show both "take a photo" and "choose a photo".

My code

imagePicker =  UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.delegate = self
imagePicker.sourceType = .camera
//imagePicker.sourceType = .PhotoLibrary
presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)

I tried to use imagePicker.sourceType = .Camera and imagePicker.sourceType = .PhotoLibrary together to do this, but it doesn't work...

Thank you

Import UIImagePickerControllerDelegate and create a variable to assign UIImagePickerController var imagePicker = UIImagePickerController() and set imagePicker.delegate = self.

Create a action sheet to display options for 'Camera' and 'Photo library'.

On your button click action:

@IBAction func buttonOnClick(_ sender: UIButton)
{
    self.btnEdit.setTitleColor(UIColor.white, for: .normal)
    self.btnEdit.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Choose Image", message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: .default, handler: { _ in
        self.openCamera()
    }))

    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Gallery", style: .default, handler: { _ in
        self.openGallary()
    }))

    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction.init(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil))

    /*If you want work actionsheet on ipad
    then you have to use popoverPresentationController to present the actionsheet,
    otherwise app will crash on iPad */
    switch UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom {
    case .pad:
        alert.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = sender
        alert.popoverPresentationController?.sourceRect = sender.bounds
        alert.popoverPresentationController?.permittedArrowDirections = .up
    default:
        break
    }

    self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

func openCamera()
{
    if(UIImagePickerController .isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera))
    {
        imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera
        imagePicker.allowsEditing = true
        self.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
    else
    {
        let alert  = UIAlertController(title: "Warning", message: "You don't have camera", preferredStyle: .alert)
        alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: nil))
        self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

func openGallary()
{
    imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary
    imagePicker.allowsEditing = true
    self.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
