Local Photos Not Reponding

[dynamitechetan]

#60 after this merge the app is trying to load all the photos in my phone and its tuck after the splash screen. I have over 5000 images in my phone.
The log is
I/CACHE: Saved file /storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Images/IMG-20160918-WA0012.jpeg (which is now /storage/emulated/0/.PhimpMeCache/040317015410104.png) correctly for each photo.
I think the previous method was good to show only 6 images at once and then load more on button click.
@pa1pal please check.

Oh I see! We better integrate a lazy load to it right? Now it's loading the whole gallery!

[dynamitechetan]

I think the previous way is better (6 images at a time and then click to add more) . In this app we have to show images from different sources rg fb, Flickr, WordPress etc. so no need to show a user his full gallery.

How about displaying only one picture from each source i.e fb, wordpress, etc and folder and when a user clicks on it, all pictures of that folder gets displayed. Basically, what a normal gallery app in android phone does.

I've implemented a way around huge galleries! So I've added the Add button again.

• Once the app is open, it will load the first 21 images in the gallery. (21 % 3 = 0) [Any suggestions on how much to load at a time? 🤔 ]
• Upon clicking on the Add button, it will load the next 21
• When the gallery is fully loaded, the Add button will be disabled

This way, it will fetch a potion at a time making it efficient against huge galleries!

@chiragw15 From what I observed the app generates different grid views to each source like facebook, google images and there's a ton of gallery support is there :D

I will send the PR soon! 🔍

[dynamitechetan]

please send PR. much needed. I am not able to even start the app.

@CloudyPadmal a suggestion instead of:

Upon clicking on the Add button, it will load the next 21

Load the images when the user scrolls to the bottom! --- It's a suggestion

[dynamitechetan]

We can have card for all categories and when user click on that we can complete grid with lazy loading

@Abhi2424shek @pa1pal reviews??

[pa1pal]

@dynamitechetan This UI looks very nice.

[abishekvashok]

@dynamitechetan yes it's very nice 😍 can you implement an additional intent when you press on each card or expand it when you press it. (IMO first one would nice as lazy loading can be done in scroll)

[dynamitechetan]

yes. I was thinking to do the same. Show some photos in the card and then open a new Activity to show all the photos with lazy loading.
