FILE as Provider

[tobiasKaminsky]

🚀 Description

Add FILE as provider to directly supply a local file for cropping.

📄 Motivation and Context

E.g. let user browse through pre-defined assets or custom gallery showing remote images.
If user clicks on such an image app downloads asset in background and can now directly show crop.

🧪 How Has This Been Tested?

• create an image file
• point to it via File
• needs Return intent #182
• intent.putExtra(ImagePicker.EXTRA_FILE, file);

📷 Screenshots (if appropriate)

Remaining question is if this should be handled via ".setFile()" or if this approach via intent is ok?

@tobiasKaminsky Thank you for your contribution. It will be easier to use any crop library to just perform the crop operations. This will help keep the library clean for unnecessary dependencies.

Also, As of now ImagePicker only supports uCrop. If 3rd party library is used directly then the developer will have better control over its customization.

I appreciate your time and efforts in adding this feature. I hope this will not discourage you from further contribution.

Thanks for your feedback @Dhaval2404
My motivation was to only have once library, but I understand it from your point :)
