Like a private files app. Can we store images into a directory on the iPhone created by the app? [import]uid: 49300 topic_id: 16715 reply_id: 316715[/import]

What about music and video? Do you think it’s possible to do the same like so? media.MusicLibrary or media.VideoLibrary? [import]uid: 49300 topic_id: 16715 reply_id: 62607[/import]

No problem. Anyway I have no idea if it will work with music or video, since I’ve never needed it. I wasn’t even aware that Corona started supporting access to music or video libraries.

I’m not 100% sure what you mean by “private files app”, but you can. Heres some sample code to store/reload one image. Saving/Loading multiple images get kind of tricky.

This will open the library:

local function newphoto ( event )  
 if (event.phase == "release") then  
 media.show( media.PhotoLibrary, sessionComplete )  
 return true  
 end  
end

This will save the image:

  
local function sessionComplete ( event )  
 t = event.target  
 local photot = display.newGroup()  
 photot:insert(t)  
 local baseDir = system.DocumentsDirectory  
 display.save(photot, "photo.jpg", baseDir)  
end

This will load the photo in another scene:

local baseDir = system.DocumentsDirectory  
local img = display.newImage("photo.jpg",baseDir)

Edit:

I’m sorry I forgot to mention this sample implies that your are using ui.lua for the newphoto button.
