}

dependencies {

}

How do I use Unicorn File Picker?

Permission

The library requires two permissions:

android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

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

Also, don't forget to add requestlegacyexternalstorage=true for Android 10.

Simple usage snippet

Start

UnicornFilePicker from current Activity or Fragment:UnicornFilePicker.from(MainActivity.this) .addConfigBuilder() .selectMultipleFiles(false) .showOnlyDirectory(true) .setRootDirectory(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()) .showHiddenFiles(false) .setFilters(newString[]{"pdf", "png", "jpg", "jpeg"}) .addItemDivider(true) .theme(R.style.UnicornFilePicker_Dracula) .build() .forResult(Constants.REQ_UNICORN_FILE);

Themes

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

R.style.UnicornFilePicker_Default (light mode)
R.style.UnicornFilePicker_Dracula (dark mode)

You can also define your own custom theme.

Receive Result

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

List<String> mSelected_files;

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_CHOOSE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        ArrayList<String> files = data.getStringArrayListExtra("filePaths");
        for(String file : files){
            Log.e(TAG, file);
        }
    }
}
