[FEATURE REQUEST] Browse images with Photopicker #107

Open nvllz opened 5 months ago

nvllz commented 5 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The current way of adding pictures it not so handy.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like the app to use the Photopicker for images upload. It's secure and more convenient than raw list of files.

@nvllz thanks for the feature request. I know the current picker is not perfect. However i wont migrate to PhotoPicker yet. It depends on google play services (to work on older devices) and i dont want my app to rely on google play services. Still i ll keep the issue open and i will think about this

Does it really? Image Toolbox, TranslateYou and OpenVideoEditor all use it and don't seem to rely on Google Play Services, so maybe I just linked to another solution. The latter also provides a toggle in the settings for a legacy file picker in case of problems. I just think it would be a more natural way to handle images, and believe there is a way to make it work properly without Google dependencies.

@nvllz https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared/photopicker#device-availability I ll think about it

Ahh, fine. I think it's not a thing in this case and making it work the same way as OpenVideoEditor (legacy picker, which is the same kind of a list picker like now) for older Android versions would be enough.
