Option to edit picture in picture editing apps

[vanniktech]

It would be nice to have an option to let the user still nonetheless choose another application to edit the picture further (e.g. Google Photos).

This can be archived using

Intent editIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT);
editIntent.setDataAndType(uri, "image/*");
editIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(editIntent, null));

Is there any interest in adding this to the core library?

I think it is an excess feature for the library. You can always add these four lines of code in your onActivityResult method and pass resulting Uri.

The only problem would be then that this 'trigger' would need to happen on another screen and not the one from uCrop which makes the feature itself a bit cumbersome.

Is there anyway to add custom views to this library and then also update the picture? To basically enable a back and forth between uCrop and other editing apps?
