Usage

Add the following code to your Activity:

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        ...
        // width and height will be at least 600px long (optional).
        ImagePicker.setMinQuality(600, 600);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        Bitmap bitmap = ImagePicker.getImageFromResult(this, requestCode, resultCode, data);
        // TODO do something with the bitmap
    }

    public void onPickImage(View view) {
        // Click on image button
        ImagePicker.pickImage(this, "Select your image:");
    }

Add it to your project

Add this permission to your AndroidManifest:

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

Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
  repositories {
    // Add this line
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
  }
}

Add ImagePicker dependency to your app build.gradle file:

dependencies{
    compile 'com.github.Mariovc:ImagePicker:x.x.x'
}

where x.x.x corresponds to latest release version published in

In order to display the ImagePicker and to make works correcly both gallery and camera you have add this provider section inside the AndroidManifest.xml file:

<application>
        <provider
            android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
            <!-- or android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider" if using androidx -->
            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>
        ...
</application>

As you can see from the android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" line you also have to provide the provider_paths.xml file, that will contains these lines of code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
    <external-path
      name="external_files"
      path="." />
</paths>
