How to use the included SD-card picker:

Include a provider element

Due to changes in Android 6.0 Marshmallow, bare File URIs can no longer be returned in a safe way. This change requires you to add an entry to your manifest.

NOTE: If you have an existing content provider in your app with the same authority you will have a conflict.

    <provider
            android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"
                tools:replace="android:resource" />
        </provider>

Permissions Needed :

android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
android.permission.CAMERA
android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO

Include the camera activity

**NOTE: The theme set in the manifest is important.

    <activity
       android:name="com.braver.tool.picker.CameraActivity"
       android:label="@string/app_name"
         android:theme="@style/Theme.FilePicker">
    </activity>

Handling the ActivityResult

You can use the included utility method to parse the activity result:

 activityResultLauncherForGallery = registerForActivityResult(new ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult(), result -> {
            if (result.getResultCode() == RESULT_OK && result.getData() != null) {
             Uri selectedMediaUri = result.getData().getData();
             File imageFile = new BraveFilePicker().setActivity(PickerActivity.this).setIsCompressImage(false).setIsTrimVide(false).setFileType(BraveFileType.IMAGE).setDestinationFilePath(AppUtils.getRandomImageFileName(PickerActivity.this)).setContentUri(selectedMediaUri).getSourceFile();
             // Do something with the result...
            }
        });
