Simple library that allows for picking of files and directories. This is a clean and simple way to allow your user to easily select a file. This library is inspired by Android L and the new Material Design guidelines adding to its sleekness and beauty.

## A Quick Overview What's In
* Compatible down to API Level 16

## Include to Project
### Provide the Gradle Dependency
#### Step 1
Add the JitPack in your root `build.gradle` at the end of repositories:
```gradle
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
```
#### Step 2
Add the dependency
```gradle
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.DeveloperPaul123:FilePickerLibrary:3.5.1'
}
```
### Clone or Download `.zip` file
Clone this repository or download the compressed file, then extract to your computer. Simply import the `library` module to your project.

## Usages
Use one of the following samples or simply compile and test the sample `app` provided:
### Material Theme Used (with Modern Builder)
```java
new FilePickerBuilder(this)
.withColor(android.R.color.holo_blue_bright)
.withRequest(Request.FILE)
.withScope(Scope.ALL)
.withMimeType(MimeType.JPEG)
.useMaterialActivity(true)
.launch(REQUEST_FILE);
```
### `image/png` Mime Type
```java
Intent filePicker = new Intent(this, FilePickerActivity.class);
filePicker.putExtra(FilePickerActivity.SCOPE, Scope.ALL);
filePicker.putExtra(FilePickerActivity.REQUEST, Request.FILE);
filePicker.putExtra(FilePickerActivity.INTENT_EXTRA_COLOR_ID, android.R.color.holo_green_dark);
filePicker.putExtra(FilePickerActivity.MIME_TYPE, MimeType.PNG);
startActivityForResult(filePicker, REQUEST_FILE);
```
### Show as a Dialog
```java
Intent filePickerDialogIntent = new Intent(this, FilePickerActivity.class);
filePickerDialogIntent.putExtra(FilePickerActivity.THEME_TYPE, ThemeType.DIALOG);
filePickerDialogIntent.putExtra(FilePickerActivity.REQUEST, Request.FILE);
startActivityForResult(filePickerDialogIntent, REQUEST_FILE);
```
### Select a Directory
```java
Intent filePickerActivity = new Intent(this, FilePickerActivity.class);
filePickerActivity.putExtra(FilePickerActivity.SCOPE, Scope.ALL);
filePickerActivity.putExtra(FilePickerActivity.REQUEST, Request.DIRECTORY);
filePickerActivity.putExtra(FilePickerActivity.INTENT_EXTRA_FAB_COLOR_ID, android.R.color.holo_green_dark);
startActivityForResult(filePickerActivity, REQUEST_DIRECTORY);
```
To have the result, you must override `onActivityResult(int, int, Intent)` method as I did below:

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

if ((requestCode == REQUEST_DIRECTORY) && (resultCode == RESULT_OK)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Directory Selected: " + data.getStringExtra(FilePickerActivity.FILE_EXTRA_DATA_PATH), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else if ((requestCode == REQUEST_FILE) && (resultCode == RESULT_OK)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "File Selected: " + data.getStringExtra(FilePickerActivity.FILE_EXTRA_DATA_PATH), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
```
