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.

1. Include the library as local library project.

   allprojects {
      repositories {
         	jcenter()
          	maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }  //Make sure to add this in your project for uCrop
      }
   }

   implementation 'com.github.dhaval2404:imagepicker:1.0'

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()

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()
        }
   }

• Pick image using Gallery

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

• Capture image using Camera

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

• Crop image

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

• Crop square image(e.g for profile)

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

• 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()

• Set Resize image resolution

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

• 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

• 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>    

• 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"/>
