Picking an image as an avatar in Android apps needs to write a bunch of error-prone boilerplate codes. **`ChoosePhotoHelper`** develops a component which facilitates picking photos from gallery or taking an image with the camera without any boilerplate codes.
It also internally handles some issues like **rotation correction of the taken photos**, **permission request** for camera and gallery (if needed), **URI exposure** problem, etc.

Download
--------
**`ChoosePhotoHelper`** is available on [bintray](https://bintray.com/aminography/maven/ChoosePhotoHelper) to download using build tools systems. Add the following lines to your `build.gradle` file:

```gradle
repositories {
jcenter()
}

dependencies {
implementation 'com.aminography:choosephotohelper:1.3.1'
}
```


Usage
-----
First of all, **`ChoosePhotoHelper`** provides 3 types of result to access the chosen photo which are:

| Builder Method | Result Type |
| --- | --- |
| `asFilePath()` | `String` |
| `asUri()` | `Uri` |
| `asBitmap()` | `Bitmap` |

Now, use it simply in 3 steps:

### • First
Create an instance of **`ChoosePhotoHelper`** using its builder pattern specifying the result type:

```java
choosePhotoHelper = ChoosePhotoHelper.with(activity)
.asFilePath()
.build(new ChoosePhotoCallback() {
@Override
public void onChoose(String photo) {
Glide.with(imageView)
.load(photo)
.into(imageView);
}
});
```

### • Second
Override `onActivityResult` and `onRequestPermissionsResult` in your **Activity** / **Fragment** class, then forward their result to the `choosePhotoHelper` instance:

```java
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
choosePhotoHelper.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
choosePhotoHelper.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
```

### • Finally
Call `showChooser()` method on the `choosePhotoHelper` instance:

```java
choosePhotoHelper.showChooser();
```


Here is a detailed example which is written in **kotlin**:

```kotlin
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

private lateinit var choosePhotoHelper: ChoosePhotoHelper

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

choosePhotoHelper = ChoosePhotoHelper.with(this)
.asFilePath()
.withState(savedInstanceState)
.build {
Glide.with(this)
.load(it)
.into(imageView)
}

button.setOnClickListener {
choosePhotoHelper.showChooser()
}
}

override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
choosePhotoHelper.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
}

override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode: Int, permissions: Array, grantResults: IntArray) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults)
choosePhotoHelper.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults)
}

override fun onSaveInstanceState(outState: Bundle) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState)
choosePhotoHelper.onSaveInstanceState(outState)
}

}
```
