An extensive collection of Kotlin Android Utils
KAU :mediapicker
MediaPicker is a beautiful collection of gallery activities that allow you to pick images or videos from your storage. It is backed by FastAdapter and Glide, and stems from the PickerCore model.
Currently, there are two options: Each takes in a MediaType argument, to specify whether it queries images or videos
MediaPickerActivityBase
A full screen multi media picker with beautiful animations. Items are blurred when selected, and there is a counter on the top right. There is a FAB to send back the response.
R.style.Kau.MediaPicker is added for your convenience.
MediaPickerActivityOverlayBase
This overlaying activity makes use of transitions and nested scrolling, and is only for Lollipop and up. Only one item can be selected, so the overlay exists immediately upon the first selection. Having this model also means that each item is only one simple image, as opposed to the blurrable image view above. As a result, this activity has faster loading on scrolling.
R.style.Kau.MediaPicker.Overlay is added for your convenience.
Both activities work out of the box and can be extended without needing further modifications. Their convenience styles default to a slide in slide out animation from the bottom edge.
You may also easily launch either activity through the simple binder:
Activity.kauLaunchMediaPicker(YourClass::class.java, yourRequestCode)
Note that this launches the activity through a startActivityForResult call
You may get the activity response by overriding your onActivityResult method
to first verify that the request code matches and then call kauOnMediaPickerResult,
which will return the list of MediaModels.
MediaActions
On top of retrieving your media file, you may also add action items to the start of the grid. All actions will return their results immediately, and retrieve media types based on the activity.
MediaActionCamera
Gets an image or a video from the default camera. No permissions are necessary. Note that since api 24, passing general uris may throw a FileUriExposedException, so your own resolvers need to be passed for this to work. See the sample xml folder for an example.
MediaActionCameraVideo
Given that getting videos do not require resolvers, this item can be used for videos only without any required arguments.
MediaActionGallery
Defines whether you want to pick one or more media items from the default gallery app.
