Demo

Usage

set configuration as

    val options = Options().apply{
        ratio = Ratio.RATIO_AUTO                                    //Image/video capture ratio
        count = 1                                                   //Number of images to restrict selection count
        spanCount = 4                                               //Number for columns in grid
        path = "Pix/Camera"                                         //Custom Path For media Storage
        isFrontFacing = false                                       //Front Facing camera on start
        videoDurationLimitInSeconds = 10                            //Duration for video recording
        mode = Mode.All                                             //Option to select only pictures or videos or both
        flash = Flash.Auto                                          //Option to select flash type
        preSelectedUrls = ArrayList<Uri>()                          //Pre selected Image Urls
    }

Ratio can be

  RATIO_4_3, RATIO_16_9, RATIO_AUTO

Mode to to select the media type can be as

  All, Picture, Video

Then pass this config to the pix fragment either via

     addPixToActivity(R.id.container, options) {
          when (it.status) {
              PixEventCallback.Status.SUCCESS -> //use results as it.data
              PixEventCallback.Status.BACK_PRESSED -> // back pressed called
          }
      }

or plain fragment can be retrieved via

private val pixFragment = pixFragment(options)

The results can be retrieved via the constructor callback from the fragment

    pixFragment(options){
        when (it.status) {
            PixEventCallback.Status.SUCCESS -> //use results as it.data
            PixEventCallback.Status.BACK_PRESSED -> // back pressed called
        }
    }

Or can be retrieved by anywhere in the Application from the state flow eventbus

    PixBus.results {
        when (it.status) {
             PixEventCallback.Status.SUCCESS ->  //use results as it.data
             PixEventCallback.Status.BACK_PRESSED -> // back pressed called
        }
    }
