MultiContactPicker

A simple, material design multi-contact picker using RecyclerView and Alphabetical Fast Scrolling! The picker will read the device contacts (REMEMBER: Runtime permissions for retrieving contacts) and allow you to select 1-many and return them in a convenient list. Great for apps that wish to allow users to import from their contacts and/or invite their friends all at once.

Note: The contacts will always have the first letter gmail-style avatars, contact photos are not used at this time.

Install

Add this to your project build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Add this to your module build.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.broakenmedia:MultiContactPicker:1.8.5'
}

Usage

Open the picker in your activity/fragment:

new MultiContactPicker.Builder(MainActivity.this) //Activity/fragment context
                            .theme(R.style.MyCustomPickerTheme) //Optional - default: MultiContactPicker.Azure
                            .hideScrollbar(false) //Optional - default: false
                            .showTrack(true) //Optional - default: true
                            .searchIconColor(Color.WHITE) //Option - default: White
                            .setChoiceMode(MultiContactPicker.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE) //Optional - default: CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE
                            .handleColor(ContextCompat.getColor(MainActivity.this, R.color.colorPrimary)) //Optional - default: Azure Blue
                            .bubbleColor(ContextCompat.getColor(MainActivity.this, R.color.colorPrimary)) //Optional - default: Azure Blue
                            .bubbleTextColor(Color.WHITE) //Optional - default: White
                            .setTitleText("Select Contacts") //Optional - default: Select Contacts
                            .setSelectedContacts("10", "5" / myList) //Optional - will pre-select contacts of your choice. String... or List<ContactResult>
                            .setLoadingType(MultiContactPicker.LOAD_ASYNC) //Optional - default LOAD_ASYNC (wait till all loaded vs stream results)
                            .limitToColumn(LimitColumn.NONE) //Optional - default NONE (Include phone + email, limiting to one can improve loading time)
                            .setActivityAnimations(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out,
                                    android.R.anim.fade_in,
                                    android.R.anim.fade_out) //Optional - default: No animation overrides
                            .showPickerForResult(CONTACT_PICKER_REQUEST);

Then listen for results:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if(requestCode == CONTACT_PICKER_REQUEST){
        if(resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            List<ContactResult> results = MultiContactPicker.obtainResult(data);
            Log.d("MyTag", results.get(0).getDisplayName());
        } else if(resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED){
            System.out.println("User closed the picker without selecting items.");
        }
    }
}

Themeing

MultiContactPicker has a default theme called Azure (Screenshot), however you can use a custom theme if you wish by using both the builder calls above and using styles:

<style name="MyCustomPickerTheme" parent="MultiContactPicker.Azure">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="mcpToolbarTheme">@style/MyCustomToolbarTheme</item>
    <item name="mcpListPopupWindowStyleTheme">@style/MyCustomToolbarTheme</item>
</style>

<style name="MyCustomToolbarTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

This can then be set in the builder above using .theme(int)
