Android File Picker

FilePicker is a small and fast file selector framework that is constantly evolving with the goal of rapid integration, high customization and configurability.

Well, it doesn't have a name like Rocky, Cosmos or Fish. Android File Picker, like its name, is a local file selector framework. Some of his characteristics are described below:

  • Launcher in Activity or Fragment
    • Start with a single line of code
  • Browse and select all files in local storage
    • Built-in default file type and file discriminator
    • Or you can implement the file type yourself
  • Custom list filter
    • Just want to show pictures(Or videos, audio...)? No problem!
    • Of course, you can just display the folder
  • Custom item click event: only need to implement the listener
  • Apply different themes, including four built-in themes and custom themes
  • More to find out yourself

Usage ?

Permission

The library requires two permissions:

  • android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
  • android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

If you do not have permission to apply, this framework will check and apply at startup.

Launch ? (Kotlin)

FilePickerManager
        .from(this@SampleActivity)
        .forResult(FilePickerManager.REQUEST_CODE)

Now that you have taken off ?️ ... ( there are really only two lines )

Receive Result

In onActivityResult() callback of the starting Activity or Fragment:

override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
    when (requestCode) {
        FilePickerManager.instance.REQUEST_CODE -> {
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                val list = FilePickerManager.instance.obtainData()
                // do your work
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(this@SampleActivity, "You didn't choose anything~", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
        }
    }
}

The result is a path list of the selected file (ArrayList<String>()).
