In the realm of Android development, a quintessential part of creating visually engaging applications often involves integrating image selection functionalities. The "LQRImagePicker" library, a brainchild of GitLqr, has emerged as a robust tool for developers seeking to embed such features seamlessly into their Android applications. This ongoing project, sculpted with Kotlin, is an open-source offering under the Apache 2.0 license, providing a rich set of features for handling image selection and manipulation.
The core offerings of "LQRImagePicker" include a variety of image sources such as gallery and camera, diverse image selection modes like single or multiple selections, along with image cropping and compression utilities to manage image size and dimensions.
Embarking on the journey with "LQRImagePicker" is a straightforward endeavor. Initially, importing the library is accomplished with a simple code snippet:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.GitLqr:LQRImagePicker:2.0.1'
}
Once imported, developers can effortlessly instantiate an image picker, set the desired selection mode, and unveil the picker to the users:
// Create an image picker
val picker = LQRImagePicker()
// Set image selection mode
picker.setSelectMode(SelectMode.SINGLE)
// Launch the image picker
picker.show(this)
The library also extends a suite of customization options to tailor the image picker according to the specific needs of the application:
// Configure image picker parameters
picker.setMaxSelectCount(9)
picker.setShowCamera(true)
picker.setCrop(true)
picker.setCompress(true)
// Retrieve selected images
val images = picker.getSelectedImages()
The wide array of features like diverse image sourcing, varied selection modes, and image manipulation tools such as cropping and compression make "LQRImagePicker" an invaluable asset for both fledgling and seasoned Android developers.
