ProGuard

If you use Glide as your image engine, add rules as Glide's README says. And add extra rule:

-dontwarn com.squareup.picasso.**

If you use Picasso as your image engine, add rules as Picasso's README says. And add extra rule:

-dontwarn com.bumptech.glide.**

Attention: The above progurad rules are correct.

How do I use Matisse?

Permission

The library requires two permissions:

android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

So if you are targeting Android 6.0+, you need to handle runtime permission request before next step.

Simple usage snippet

Start

MatisseActivity from current Activity or Fragment:Matisse.from(MainActivity.this) .choose(MimeType.allOf()) .countable(true) .maxSelectable(9) .addFilter(newGifSizeFilter(320, 320, 5*Filter.K*Filter.K)) .gridExpectedSize(getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.grid_expected_size)) .restrictOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED) .thumbnailScale(0.85f) .imageEngine(newGlideEngine()) .forResult(REQUEST_CODE_CHOOSE);

Themes

There are two built-in themes you can use to start MatisseActivity:

R.style.Matisse_Zhihu (light mode)
R.style.Matisse_Dracula (dark mode)

And Also you can define your own theme as you wish.

Receive Result

In onActivityResult() callback of the starting Activity or Fragment:

List<Uri> mSelected;

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_CHOOSE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        mSelected = Matisse.obtainResult(data);
        Log.d("Matisse", "mSelected: " + mSelected);
    }
}

For Glide V4

To be honest,the library can't supply GlideEngine for Glide both v3 and v4 at the same time. (Anyone who have good idea to achieve this. PR is welcomed)

GlideEngine with Glide v3 is default.

So if your project's glide version is 4.0+ ,then you must realize GlideEngine by yourself. More details could refer with Glide4Engine in the sample.
