Setup

Gradle:

Add Jitpack to your root build.gradle file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Add dependency to application build.gradle file, where x.y.z is the latest release version:

implementation "com.github.ChiliLabs:ChiliPhotoPicker:x.y.z"

Usage

Initialize ChiliPhotoPicker in your Application's class onCreate

• loader - your preferred ImageLoader implementation (ready examples for Glide and Picasso are here)
• authority - your file provider authority. Is needed if you set allowCamera to true, so picker could store temporary photo from camera

ChiliPhotoPicker.init(
        loader = GlideImageLoader(),
        authority = "lv.chi.sample.fileprovider"
    )

Create new instance of PhotoPickerFragment

• multiple - true for multiple image pick, false for single
• allowCamera - true to show Camera button, false to hide
• maxSelection - limit images count to pick
• theme - built-in or custom theme (by default ChiliPhotoPicker.Light is used)
• Show as dialog

PhotoPickerFragment.newInstance(
        multiple = true, 
        allowCamera = true,
        maxSelection = 5,
        theme = R.style.ChiliPhotoPicker_Dark
).show(supportFragmentManager, YOUR_TAG)

Notes: Picker will throw exception if:

• loader was not initialized
• authority was null while accessing camera

ImageLoader

We don't want to depend on many image loading libraries, so we have simple ImageLoader interface, which you can implement using your preferred library (Glide, Picasso, Coil, etc.) We have two working examples of ImageLoader implementations - using Glide and Picasso. You can just copy one of them or write your own implementation

Callback

Picked photos URIs are returned via callbacks onImagesPicked function, so you just need to implement PhotoPickerFragment.Callback interface in your activity or fragment

Themes

To customize picker you can use one of built-in themes or inherit it rewriting attributes you want (see example)

Attributes:

• pickerBackgroundColor - background color
• pickerPrimaryColor - primary picker color (no permission/empty texts, cancel icon)
• pickerSecondaryColor - secondary picker color (snackbar)
• pickerControlColor - color of buttons, icons, checkboxes, ripple
• pickerGalleryIcon - drawable for Gallery icon (to remove it use @null as attribute value)
• pickerCameraIcon - drawable for Camera icon (to remove it use @null as attribute value)
• pickerCornerRadius - background's corners radius
• pickerDividerColor - color of line below Gallery/Camera buttons

Localization

It's difficult to translate library to each language, so default strings are on English, but you can easily override them. Example for common strings and plurals are here. All strings used in library can be found here
