MagicPicker

Magic Picker is a simple library to get rid of Android Permissions while picking image through gallery or camera.

All the permission related code for accessing camera or gallery is handled by library internally, so that you can focus on important stuff 😉

Setup

1. Open Module Settings -> Click on Add New Module -> Select Import Gradle project and select picker library.
2. Open app level build.gradle and add following line in dependencies and you are good to go 😃

compile project(':picker')

Usage

1. Add permissions to manifest file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>

2. Adding xml folder for provider paths

Create xml resource folder in values folder and create a file provider_paths.xml inside it.

3. Register provider paths in manifest

Add following code in your AndroidManifest.xml file inside -application- tag.

<provider
     android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
     android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
     android:exported="false"
     android:grantUriPermissions="true">
          <meta-data
              android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
              android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
</provider>

4. Create intent using PickerBuilder class

To invoke Gallery or Camera, you need to pass custom intent to startActivityForResult function. With Magic Picker, you can do this with just two lines of code.

For Gallery

Intent intent = new PickerBuilder(context).openGallery(true).build();
startActivityForResult(intent, ImageContants.PICK_IMAGE);

For Camera

Intent intent = new PickerBuilder(context).openCamera(true).build();
startActivityForResult(intent, ImageContants.PICK_IMAGE);

5. Handle Image in onActivityResult()

To get Image Uri, implement onActivityResult method inside your Activity or Fragment and get the Uri by calling data.getData()

Example

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
  if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
    switch (requestCode) {
      case ImageContants.PICK_IMAGE:
        Glide.with(context).load(data.getData()).into(imageview);
        break;
    }
  }
}

Thank You 😃
