Media loader fragment

This simple yet powerful fragment allows you to convert selected or captured photos to Java File object to send it later to your server, or to get Bitmap for showing them in your <ImageView>s.

Installation

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Step 2. Add the dependency

dependencies {
	compile 'com.github.kitttn:async-media-loader-android:0.9.3'
}

Just show me how it works.

Sure. Just import it in your Activity / Fragment (via childFragmentManager) etc. :

private val mediaFragment = MediaChooserFragment.newInstance()

Also don't forget to attach it:

supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
    .add(mediaFragment, "ANY TAG YOU WISH")
    .commit()

Then all you need is to call openCamera() or openGallery() on mediaFragment instance:

cameraPhotoBtn.setOnClickListener { mediaFragment.openCamera() }

That's it! This fragment will automatically handle permissions request and photo processing. All data processed will be delivered via Handlers you defined while creating instance of MediaChooserFragment:

val mediaFragment = MediaChooserFragment.newInstance(fileHandler = { /* for File objects */ }, bitmapHandler = { /* for BitmapObjects */ }, errorHandler = { /*for all errors */ })

This fragment is written in Kotlin and uses coroutines to make it hard job off the main thread.

Pull requests are welcome!

Known bugs:

1. A bit difficult to use it from Java.

Yes. newInstance() definitely needs @JvmOverloads annotation for ability to add only required methods from Java.

Solution: use Kotlin or Submit PR :)

2. Handling permissions requests is limited and responses are not supported.

Yes, you are right. The main idea was to keep this library as a quick option to request files.

Solution: Submit PR :)

Thanks for looking. Give it a try :)
