Usage

Include this library in your project using gradle (thanks to JitPack.io).

For stable build:

repositories {
  maven {
    url "https://jitpack.io"
  }
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.github.darsh2:MultipleImageSelect:v0.0.4'
}

For using the latest build, replace the tag in dependencies above with latest commit hash. Example:

repositories {
  maven {
    url "https://jitpack.io"
  }
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.github.darsh2:MultipleImageSelect:3474549'
}

In project's AndroidManifest.xml, add the following under application node:

<activity
  android:name="com.darsh.multipleimageselect.activities.AlbumSelectActivity"
  android:theme="@style/MultipleImageSelectTheme">
  <intent-filter>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  </intent-filter>
</activity>

In the activity from where you want to call image selector, create Intent as follows:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlbumSelectActivity.class);
//set limit on number of images that can be selected, default is 10
intent.putExtra(Constants.INTENT_EXTRA_LIMIT, numberOfImagesToSelect);
startActivityForResult(intent, Constants.REQUEST_CODE);

and override onActivityResult as follows:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  if (requestCode == Constants.REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null) {
    //The array list has the image paths of the selected images
    ArrayList<Image> images = data.getParcelableArrayListExtra(Constants.INTENT_EXTRA_IMAGES);
    ...  
}

Custom Styles

1. To change the color of UI elements, in colors.xml file, override the following attributes with the desired colors. Example:

<color name="multiple_image_select_primary">#673AB7</color>
<color name="multiple_image_select_primaryDark">#512DA8</color>
<color name="multiple_image_select_primaryLight">#D1C4E9</color>
<color name="multiple_image_select_accent">#536DFE</color>
<color name="multiple_image_select_primaryText">#212121</color>
<color name="multiple_image_select_secondaryText">#727272</color>
<color name="multiple_image_select_divider">#B6B6B6</color>
<color name="multiple_image_select_toolbarPrimaryText">#FFFFFF</color>
<color name="multiple_image_select_albumTextBackground">#99FFFFFF</color>
<color name="multiple_image_select_imageSelectBackground">#000000</color>    

1. To change the theme altogether, do step 1, and make the following changes in styles.xml and manifest file:

styles.xml: Create the theme you want to use along with a theme for toolbar and actionmode. Example:

<style name="OverrideMultipleImageSelectTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
  <item name="colorPrimary">@color/multiple_image_select_primary</item>
  <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/multiple_image_select_primaryDark</item>
  <item name="colorAccent">@color/multiple_image_select_accent</item>
  <item name="actionModeStyle">@style/OverrideCustomActionModeStyle</item>
  <item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
</style>
<style name="OverrideCustomActionModeStyle" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.ActionMode">
  <item name="background">@color/multiple_image_select_primary</item>
</style>
<style name="OverrideCustomToolbarTheme" parent="Base.ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar">
</style>

AndroidManifest.xml: Add tools:replace="android:theme" to AlbumSelectActivity and ImageSelectActivity and specify theme to use. Example:

<manifest ...
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  ...>

  <activity android:name="com.darsh.multipleimageselect.activities.AlbumSelectActivity"
        tools:replace="android:theme"
    android:theme="@style/OverrideMultipleImageSelectTheme">
    <intent-filter>
      <category android:name="ANDROID.INTENT.CATEGORY.DEFAULT" />
    </intent-filter>
    </activity>
  <activity android:name="com.darsh.multipleimageselect.activities.ImageSelectActivity"
    tools:replace="android:theme"
    android:theme="@style/OverrideMultipleImageSelectTheme">
    <intent-filter>
      <category android:name="ANDROID.INTENT.CATEGORY.DEFAULT" />
    </intent-filter>
  </activity>
