Gallery Picker

What is Gallery Picker?

Gallery Picker allows you to design a custom gallery for image/ video picker in your android projects. You can also use the in-built cutom fragment developed with the help of the utility methods provided in the library. The utility methods include fetching data from the android's media store efficiently and album separations.

Implementation

[1] In your app module gradle file

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.tizisdeepan:gallerypicker:1.0.1'
}

[2] In your project level gradle file

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

[3] In your manifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>

NOTE: Make sure to implement run time permissions request in your app.

[4] In your project, you can start PickerActivity by adding this line

startActivity(Intent(this@MainActivity, PickerActivity::class.java))

[5] You can define Picker Limits via your Intent

val i = Intent(this@MainActivity, PickerActivity::class.java)
i.putExtra("IMAGES_LIMIT", 7) // Allows you to pick 7 images
i.putExtra("VIDEOS_LIMIT", 7) // Allows you to pick 7 videos
startActivity(i)

[6] If you don't want to use the PickerActivity, you this to fetch Photos and Videos

val images = GalleryPicker(context).getImages()
val videos = GalleryPicker(context).getVideos()
Log.e("RESULT", "IMAGES COUNT: ${images.size}\nVIDEOS COUNT: ${videos.size}")
