Getting Started
To start with this, we need to simply add the dependencies from mavenCentral()
in the gradle file of our app module like this
implementation 'com.burhanrashid52:photoeditor:2.0.0'
or we can also import the :photoeditor module from sample for further customization
Migrations
AndroidX
PhotoEditor v.1.0.0 is a migration to androidX and dropping the support of older support library. There are no API changes. If you find any issue migrating to v.1.0.0 , please follow this Guide. If you still facing the issue than you can always rollback to v.0.4.0. Any fix in PR are Welcome :)
Kotlin
PhotoEditor v.2.0.0 is fully migrated to Kotlin. You can use v.1.5.1 for the Java version. There are no breaking API changes in these two versions.
Setting up the View
First we need to add PhotoEditorView
in our xml layout
<ja.burhanrashid52.photoeditor.PhotoEditorView
android:id="@+id/photoEditorView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:photo_src="@drawable/got_s" />
We can define our drawable or color resource directly using app:photo_src
We can set the image programmatically by getting source from PhotoEditorView
which will return a ImageView
so that we can load image from resources,file or (Picasso/Glide)
PhotoEditorView mPhotoEditorView = findViewById(R.id.photoEditorView);
mPhotoEditorView.getSource().setImageResource(R.drawable.got);
Building a PhotoEditor
To use the image editing feature we need to build a PhotoEditor which requires a Context and PhotoEditorView which we have to setup in our xml layout
//Use custom font using latest support library
Typeface mTextRobotoTf = ResourcesCompat.getFont(this, R.font.roboto_medium);
//loading font from asset
Typeface mEmojiTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "emojione-android.ttf");
mPhotoEditor = new PhotoEditor.Builder(this, mPhotoEditorView)
.setPinchTextScalable(true)
.setClipSourceImage(true)
.setDefaultTextTypeface(mTextRobotoTf)
.setDefaultEmojiTypeface(mEmojiTypeFace)
.build();
We can customize the properties in the PhotoEditor as per our requirement
Property | Usage |
---|---|
setPinchTextScalable() |
set false to disable pinch to zoom on text insertion. Default: true. |
setClipSourceImage() |
set true to clip the drawing brush to the source image. Default: false. |
setDefaultTextTypeface() |
set default text font to be added on image |
setDefaultEmojiTypeface() |
set default font specifc to add emojis |
That's it we are done with setting up our library
Drawing
We can customize our brush and paint with different set of property. To start drawing on image we need to enable the drawing mode
Type | Method |
---|---|
Enable/Disable | mPhotoEditor.setBrushDrawingMode(true); |
Shape (brush, line, oval, rectangle) | mPhotoEditor.addShape(shape) |
Shape size (px) | mPhotoEditor.setBrushSize(brushSize) or through the a ShapeBuilder |
Shape opacity (In %) | mPhotoEditor.setOpacity(opacity) or through the a ShapeBuilder |
Shape color | mPhotoEditor.setBrushColor(colorCode) or through the a ShapeBuilder |
Brush Eraser | mPhotoEditor.brushEraser() |
Note: Whenever we set any property of a brush for drawing it will automatically enable the drawing mode
Shapes
We can draw shapes from v.1.5.0. We use ShapeBuilder
to define shape and other properties.
mShapeBuilder = new ShapeBuilder()
.withShapeOpacity(100)
.withShapeType(ShapeType.OVAL)
.withShapeSize(50);
mPhotoEditor.setShape(mShapeBuilder)
For more details check ShapeBuilder.
Filter Effect
We can apply inbuild filter to the source images using
mPhotoEditor.setFilterEffect(PhotoFilter.BRIGHTNESS);
We can also apply custom effect using Custom.Builder
For more details check Custom Filters
Text
We can add the text with inputText and colorCode like this
mPhotoEditor.addText(inputText, colorCode);
It will take default fonts provided in the builder. If we want different fonts for different text we can set typeface with each text like this
mPhotoEditor.addText(mTypeface,inputText, colorCode);
In order to edit the text we need the view, which we will receive in our PhotoEditor callback. This callback will trigger when we Long Press the added text
mPhotoEditor.setOnPhotoEditorListener(new OnPhotoEditorListener() {
@Override
public void onEditTextChangeListener(View rootView, String text, int colorCode) {
}
});
Now we can edit the text with a view like this
mPhotoEditor.editText(rootView, inputText, colorCode);
If you want more customization on text. Please refer the wiki page for more details.
Emoji
We can add the Emoji by PhotoEditor.getEmojis(getActivity());
which will return a list of emojis unicode.
mPhotoEditor.addEmoji(emojiUnicode);
It will take default fonts provided in the builder. If we want different Emoji fonts for different emoji we can set typeface with each Emoji like this
mPhotoEditor.addEmoji(mEmojiTypeface,emojiUnicode);
Adding Images/Stickers
We need to provide a Bitmap to add our Images mPhotoEditor.addImage(bitmap);
Undo and Redo
mPhotoEditor.undo();
mPhotoEditor.redo();
Deleting
For deleting a Text/Emoji/Image we can click on the view to toggle the view highlighter box which will have a close icon. So, by clicking on the icon we can delete the view.
Saving
We need to provide a file with callback method when edited image is saved
mPhotoEditor.saveAsFile(filePath, new PhotoEditor.OnSaveListener() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(@NonNull String imagePath) {
Log.e("PhotoEditor","Image Saved Successfully");
}
@Override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception exception) {
Log.e("PhotoEditor","Failed to save Image");
}
});

Questions?🤔
FAQ
Can I use this library in my app for free?
Yes. It's an open-source library and free to use. If this library has saved your time then showing a little credit will increase my motivation towards making the library better :)
Does it support the CROP feature?
Currently, No. I started to build in branch PE-79. But due to time constraint, I drop the idea. Any PR related to CROP is welcomed :)
Facing issues in applying Filter?
The filter effect is applied using GlSurfaceView
and the implementation of this feature causing a lot of issues. Need to think of some other alternative solution. Here is the issue list.
Does is support in other platforms (iOS, Web, Flutter)?
No. Currently, the focus is on making the android library better. We don't have any plans for other Platform.
Other Know Issues
Image Scaling. Memory Issue in Filter.
