MultiPicker for Android

Library that helps to select photos and videos by your app using MediaStore API, also it can take photos and videos and save it to external storage

Usage

Please note, library fully optimized for Kotlin projects but it does not uses kotlin-specific features as coroutines etc..

package com.example.app

import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import com.edwardstock.multipicker.MultiPicker
import com.edwardstock.multipicker.data.MediaFile
import timber.log.Timber
import timber.log.Timber.DebugTree

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    lateinit var b: ActivityMainBinding
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        // Install logger
        Timber.plant(DebugTree())
        b = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(b.root)

        // Get button from viewBinding
        val launch = b.launch

        // Configure MultiPicker and prepare it to launch and getting result
        // MultiPicker.create(`this`) means children of ComponentActivity or Fragment
        val picker = MultiPicker.create(this)
                .configure {
                    title("Select photos")
                    showVideos(true)
                    showPhotos(true)
                }
                // Pass callback to this function. Signature: (List<MediaFile>)->Unit
                .prepare(this::onResult)


        // Launch MultiPicker on button click
        launch.setOnClickListener {
            picker.start()
        }
    }

    // Then just get list of selected files
    private fun onResult(files: List<MediaFile>) {
        b.files.text = null
        for (item in files) {
            b.files.append(item.toString())
            b.files.append("\n")
        }
    }
}
