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.
• 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

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?

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.
