What is it?

EasyPicker is an extended version of easy image library which allows you to easily capture images and videos from the gallery, camera or get files from documents based on specified file formats without creating lots of boilerplate.

Setup

Runtime permissions

No additional permisions are required if you DO NOT use setCopyImagesToPublicGalleryFolder() setting. But if you do:

For devices running Android 10 and newer:

Nothing is required

For devices running Android 9 or lower:

Permission need to be specified in Manifest:

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

Also you'll need to ask for this permission in the runtime in the moment of your choice. Sample app does that.

There is also one issue about runtime permissions. According to the docs:

If your app targets M and above and declares as using the CAMERA permission which is not granted, then attempting to use this action will result in a SecurityException.

For this reason, if your app uses CAMERA permission, you should check it along with WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE before calling EasyPicker.openCamera()

Usage

Essentials

Create your EasyPickerInstance like this:

EasyPicker easypicker = new EasyPicker.Builder(context)

// Chooser only
// Will appear as a system chooser title, DEFAULT empty string
//.setChooserTitle("Pick media")
// Will tell chooser that it should show documents or gallery or all three of them
//.setChooserType(ChooserType.CAMERA_AND_DOCUMENTS)
//.setChooserType(ChooserType.CAMERA_AND_GALLERY)
//.setChooserType(ChooserType.CAMERA_AND_GALLERY_AND_DOCUMENTS)
// saving EasyImage state (as for now: last camera file link)
.setMemento(memento)

// Setting to true will cause taken pictures to show up in the device gallery, DEFAULT false
.setCopyImagesToPublicGalleryFolder(false)
// Sets the name for images stored if setCopyImagesToPublicGalleryFolder = true
.setFolderName("EasyImage sample")

// Allow multiple picking
.allowMultiple(true)

// You can also specify the file formats you need to show in documents
//.addSupportedFileFormats(new String[]{"pdf","image"})
.build();

        easyPicker.handleActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data, this, new DefaultCallback() {
            @Override
            public void onMediaFilesPicked(MediaFile[] mediaFiles, MediaSource source) {
                onPhotosReturned(mediaFiles);
            }

            @Override
            public void onPickerError(@NonNull Throwable error, @NonNull MediaSource source) {
                //Some error handling
                error.printStackTrace();
            }

            @Override
            public void onCanceled(@NonNull MediaSource source) {
