A pretty and simple directory chooser and file picker library for 4.4+ devices. This library was created to be included in OpenGApps App. There are too many storage chooser out there but this one is too materially ๐ . Easy to implement and does not take a lot of your valueable time in setting-up all the other necessary things that every developer seeks, like
- saving path to sharedPreference
- event when path is selected and act upon that path
- and much more.
There are also some really nice features that I thought would come in handy:
- You show a quick overview of the storages present and their memory available before choosing so that users know which storage to choose.
- you can choose between sheet and sleek layouts.
- Inline create folder view (not another dialog to handle)
- Full localization. I mean literally every strings can be localized to your desired language.
- Memory thresholding - a restriction or a toast that it shows when user's memory is less than your defined memory for operations.
- and more will be added soon.
Add this to your root build.gradle file under repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
Add this to your app level build.gradle as dependency:
com.github.codekidX:storage-chooser:1.0.33
Before you implement this library here are some notes that you can follow to avoid errors.
Confirm:
- You have asked for Runtime Permission from the user in the past to avoid read errors.
- Permissions with "READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" and "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" is enough for this library to work.
- This library follows same color scheme as that of the parent app to maintain the aesthetic of the parent app. See the color scheme section below
- Let's you toggle between inernal/external root directory.
// ~
// Initialize Builder
StorageChooser chooser = new StorageChooser.Builder()
.withActivity(MainActivity.this)
.withFragmentManager(getSupportFragmentManager())
.withMemoryBar(true)
.build();
// Show dialog whenever you want by
chooser.show();
// get path that the user has chosen
chooser.setOnSelectListener(new StorageChooser.OnSelectListener() {
@Override
public void onSelect(String path) {
Log.e("SELECTED_PATH", path);
}
});
OUTPUT: /storage/emulated/0
- Let's you append a specific path to the root of internal or external directory.
// --- ADD --
.withPredefinedPath(STATIC_PATH)
OUTPUT: /storage/emulated/0/Downloads/CodekidLabs
- Let's your user choose custom directory/file.
// --- ADD ---
.allowCustomPath(true)
.setType(StorageChooser.DIRECTORY_CHOOSER)
NOTE: File Picker is still --> WIP
// --- ADD ---
.allowCustomPath(true)
.setType(StorageChooser.FILE_PICKER)
// --- ADD ---
.actionSave(true)
.withPreference(sharedPreferences)
String path = sharedPreferences.getString(DiskUtil.SC_PREFERENCE_KEY,"");
A seperate localization wiki is posted here
- Overview header color -> @colorPrimary
- Memory bar color -> @colorAccent
- Memory available text -> @colorPrimaryDark
- Address bar background -> @colorPrimary
- Select button label color -> @colorPrimaryDark
