Steps to integrate uniquegallery-lib

uniquegallery-lib is a Library/Module used to integrate the customized gallery. As all of you know If we want to pick image or video from gallery, we need call Intent with ACTION_PICK. But here the problem is, in different devices it behaves differently and there is no proper solution to pick the image/video dynamically. To avoid the this problem I have created uniquegallery-lib. In this library we can simply differentiate selected file image or video along their parameters like path, date, resolution,duration.. etc.

By Using below simple steps you can achieve it:

Step1. Download uniquegallery-lib from souce code and add as module dependency.

Here How to add a module dependency to your project?

Step2. Create class which extends Application in your code & write below code

public class MyApplication extends Application {
  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
     super.onCreate();
     ApplicationLevel applicationLevel = new ApplicationLevel();
     applicationLevel.onCreate(this);
   }
}

Step3. Now everything is setup. If you want to pick image/video/both from the out customized gallery follow below steps

• If you want pick image from gallery call intent by like this

    Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlbumActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra(Data.EXTRA_TYPE, Media.PHOTO);
    startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
  

• If you want pick video from gallery call intent by like this

    Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlbumActivity.class);
    intent.putExtra(Data.EXTRA_TYPE, Media.VIDEO);
    startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
  

• If you want pick image/video from gallery call intent by like this

    Intent intent = new Intent(this, PhotosVideosAlbumActivity.class);
    startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
  

Step4. Now half of the task has been completed, by above code we are able to display images/video in custom gallery.Now we need to handle selected image/video.

Code snipped for handle selected image/video

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        if (data != null) {
            Object object = data.getSerializableExtra(getString(R.string.bundle_path));
            if (object instanceof PhotoEntry) {

            } else if (object instanceof VideoEntry) {
                
            }
        }
    }
}

PhotoEntry class contains data related to photo

VideoEntry class contains data related to video
