Image Picker Library for Android

Simple Library to Pick an image from the Gallery or Capture image with Camera.

Almost 90% of the app that I have developed has Image upload feature. To simplify the image pick/capture option I have created this library. Its easily configurable and easy to use.

?Usage

  1. Include the library as local library project.

    allprojects {
   repositories {
      jcenter()
   }
}
    Groovy
    implementation 'com.github.dhaval2404:imagepicker:1.0'
    Groovy

  2. The ImagePicker configuration is created using the builder pattern.

    ImagePicker.with(this)
      .crop(1f, 1f)	    		//Crop Square image(Optional)
	  .compress(1024)			//Final image size will be less than 1 MB(Optional)
      .maxResultSize(620, 620)	//Final image resolution will be less than 620 x 620(Optional)
      .start()
    Kotlin

  3. Override onActivityResult method and handle ImagePicker result.

    override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
     super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
     if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
         //Image Uri will not be null for RESULT_OK
         val fileUri = data?.data
         imgProfile.setImageURI(fileUri)
      
        //You can get File object from intent
        val file:File = ImagePicker.getFile(data)
       
        //You can also get File Path from intent
        val filePath:String = ImagePicker.getFilePath(data)     
     } else if (resultCode == ImagePicker.RESULT_ERROR) {
         Toast.makeText(this, ImagePicker.getError(data), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
     } else {
         Toast.makeText(this, "Task Cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
     }
}
    Kotlin

?Customization

  • Pick image using Gallery

    ImagePicker.with(this)
	    .galleryOnly()       //User can only select image from Gallery
	    .start()			 //Default Request Code is ImagePicker.REQUEST_CODE
    Kotlin

  • Capture image using Camera

    ImagePicker.with(this)
	    .cameraOnly()       //User can only capture image using Camera
	    .start()
    Kotlin

  • Crop image

    ImagePicker.with(this)
	    .crop(16f, 9f)	   //Crop image with 16:9 aspect ratio
	    .start()
    Kotlin

  • Crop square image(e.g for profile)

    ImagePicker.with(this)
       .cropSquare()	   //Crop square image, its same as crop(1f, 1f)
       .start()
    Kotlin

  • Compress image size(e.g image should be maximum 1 MB)

    ImagePicker.with(this)
	    .compress(1024)	   //Final image size will be less than 1 MB
	    .start()
    Kotlin

  • Set Resize image resolution

    ImagePicker.with(this)
    	//Final image resolution will be less than 620 x 620
	    .maxResultSize(620, 620)	   
	    .start()
    Kotlin

  • You can also specify the request code with ImagePicker

    ImagePicker.with(this)
	    .maxResultSize(620, 620)	   
	    .start(101)		//Here 101 is request code, you may use this in onActivityResult
    Kotlin

  • Add Following parameters in your colors.xml file, If you want to customize uCrop Activity.

    <resources>
    <!-- Here you can add color of your choice  -->
    <color name="ucrop_color_toolbar">@color/teal_500</color>
    <color name="ucrop_color_statusbar">@color/teal_700</color>
    <color name="ucrop_color_widget_active">@color/teal_500</color>
</resources>
    XML

  • You don't need to add any permissions to manifest, everything is merged automatically from library's manifest file. You can remove unnecessary permission by adding tools:node="remove tag.

       <!--
   If Not using Camera feature, Add following line in app manifest.
   This will remove permission while manifest merge
   -->
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" tools:node="remove"/>
    XML
