B4A Library [B4X] MediaChooser - cross platform videos and images chooser

This library makes it simple to let the user choose or capture media.

Features:

• Allows the user to capture videos and still pictures (B4A and B4i only).
• Allows the user to pick videos and pictures.
• Very easy to use together with SimpleMediaManager.
• Detects images mime types. Jpeg and Gifs.
• Works with a progress bar that shows when items need to be copied. This is currently only relevant to B4A.
• B4A - no permissions needed.

Usage instructions: see the example. It is quite simple.

Notes:

• B4i - see #Plist declarations in main module.
• B4A - see FileProvider declarations in manifest editor and the new foregroundServiceType declaration.
• See the build configuration symbols (Ctrl + B) required for SMM features: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...rk-for-images-videos-and-more.134716/#content

Updates:

- v1.02 - (B4A) KeepRunningService.NotificationTitle field. Default value is "Taking picture".
- v1.01 - (B4A) adds support for targetSdkVersion=34. New requirement in manifest editor: SetServiceAttribute(KeepRunningService, android:foregroundServiceType, shortService)

SMM version 1.14 . B4A 12. 80. Please let me know what to do.

Two options:
1. Remove SMM_GIF from the build configuration.
2. Download B4XGifView and add a reference to this library: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ss-platform-animated-gif-view.118550/#content

Chose option 2 and now have no error. Is there a way to show the captured video/image in the gallery?

 

[Erel]

Do you want to capture an image with the camera and save it to the gallery? If so please start a new thread.

Hey everyone, I've been encountering an issue (when using frotal camare) where the image token changes in the preview.
Is there a way to maintain consistency with the image token throughout, without it flipping in the preview?

 

[Erel]

This is the mirror effect. It is the "correct" behavior. You might be able to change it in your device settings.
The same flipping happens when you take an image with the camera app.

Depends on B4A v13.0.

Note that it will be soon an internal library.

- v1.02 - (B4A) KeepRunningService.NotificationTitle field. Default value is "Taking picture".

Don't found the b4xlib file of the new version in the first post to download.

 

[Erel]

Fixed. Note that it is an internal library, starting with B4A v13.0 beta #2.
