Golbat

Golbat is an Android library that helps you on working with camera, gallery and output and its encoded types.

Quick Start

Put it into your project! In your Gradle file:

repositories {
    ...
    maven {
        url "https://jitpack.io"
    }
}

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.github.halilkaya:golbat:0.0.1'
}

Golbat deals with storage. So, you need to take perrmissions below first:

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

To begin to use Golbat, build it in your Application class:

new Golbat.Builder()
        .setDirectoryName("MyPhotos")
        .setContentResolver(getContentResolver())
        .setCameraRequestCode(200)
        .setImageQuality(100)
        .build();

Well, now let's make a simple app that opens camera app and shows the captured image in an ImageView via Golbat!

Define 3 global variables:

private Button openCameraApp;
private ImageView myImageView;
private Uri fileUri;

Let them know who them are in onCreate method:

openCameraApp = (Button) findViewById(R.id.open_camera_app);
myImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.my_image_view);

Open camera app when openCameraApp button is pressed in again onCreate method:

openCameraApp.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        fileUri = Golbat.openCamera(MainActivity.this);
    }
});

Yeah! Our button opens the camera app! Let's handle the captured image:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == 200) {
        Golbat.showImage(
                Golbat.CaptureType.CAPTURED_FROM_CAMERA,
                myImageView,
                fileUri
        );
    }
}

How does it look? Oh, API wants base64 encoded version? Here you go:

String base64forApi = Golbat.getBase64(
        Golbat.getSelectedImageAsBitmap(fileUri),
        false
);

Voila!
