DmxMediaPicker

DmxMediaPicker is a media picker for Android allowing the selection of multiple images and video. It's developed at Demotix.com by Alexandru Badiu.

It's currently work in progress. Contributions welcome.

Features

• Works with the galleries on the phone
• Works with both internal and external storage
• You can specify a maximum number of items to be returned
• You can specify the type of media allowed
• You can specify a blacklist of media items (that are not selectable)

Installation

You are going to need the following dependencies:

• Android Support Library
• ActionBar Sherlock

For the time being copy the files and resources in your project and merge the values in strings.xml.

Usage

Copy the code and resources in your project. Use startActivityForResult to show the DmxMediaPickerActivity activity. The selected items are returned in "selectedMedia".

Optionally, add the following options to the intent:

• max - Limits the maximum selected items to this number.
• show - Limits the type of items shown to either images or video.
• blacklist - An array of ids that are not allowed to be selected.

Simple example

public class MediaActivity extends Activity {
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.media_layout);    
  
    findViewById(R.id.media_pick_button).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(final View v) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(activity, DmxMediaPickerActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra("max", 4);

        activity.startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
      }
    });

  protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == 1) {
      if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        Log.v("app", "Selected media");
        ArrayList<MediaItem> media = data.getParcelableArrayListExtra("selectedMedia");
        for (MediaList m : media) {
          Log.v("app", "Media id: " + m.id + " of type " + m.type);
        }
      }
    }
  }
