What does this library do ?

Useful library for selecting images and videos from sd-card. The library can be used to display images & videos in file view or folder view. File view shows all files whereas Folder view shows files categorized. All items are sorted according to date-time with latest item showing first.

Usage

To display images and videos according to:

1] Folders

HomeScreenMediaChooser.startMediaChooser(MainActivity.this, true);

2] Files

HomeScreenMediaChooser.startMediaChooser(MainActivity.this, false);

To get list of selected images and videos :

1] For images you have to register a broadcast with

MediaChooser.IMAGE_SELECTED_ACTION_FROM_MEDIA_CHOOSERaction.

Example:

IntentFilter imageIntentFilter = new IntentFilter(MediaChooser.IMAGE_SELECTED_ACTION_FROM_MEDIA_CHOOSER);
registerReceiver(imageBroadcastReceiver, imageIntentFilter);

2] For videos you have to register a broadcast with MediaChooser.VIDEO_SELECTED_ACTION_FROM_MEDIA_CHOOSER action.

Example:

IntentFilter videoIntentFilter = new IntentFilter(MediaChooser.VIDEO_SELECTED_ACTION_FROM_MEDIA_CHOOSER);
registerReceiver(videoBroadcastReceiver, videoIntentFilter);
