Create gallery android application – Android Picasso Image Library
Loading Images from internet or device it is very hard task to do and create gallery android application becomes lot more difficult as it contains images everywhere. If we load images directly in android, then it will take lots of run-time memory which lead to memory exceptions. This can be handled by using proper image caching. Building this image caching system can take long time. There are many libraries which can be used to load images from internet or device efficiently like Picasso, Glide or Universal Image Loader.
This Libraries take well care of image caching and displaying. In this post we will learn how to create gallery android application. Application will display images from specific bucket from device storage. Clicking on any image grid will display that image in full screen and at bottom there will be a strip of thumbnails with all images listed in it so that user does not have to come back for selecting another image.

How to use Picasso
Adding Picasso library in your project is super easy just add following line of code inside dependency section of build.gradle(module app) file.
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
dependencies { /*add Picasso Library Here*/ compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2' } |
Following is snippets how we can load image using Picasso inside ImageView
|

Picasso.with(context).load(Path_to_image).into(targetImageView); |
How to create gallery android application
1.Create new android studio project File -> New Project with name as you want and select add no activity and proceed
2.Open build.gradle file and modify it according to following
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 |
apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 26 buildToolsVersion "26.0.2" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery" minSdkVersion 15 targetSdkVersion 26 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } } dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', { exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations' }) compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+' compile 'com.android.support:design:26.+' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.+' testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' /*add Picasso Library Here*/ compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2' } |
3.Create new class layout -> SquareLayout.java this class will help to keep ImageView in square ratio
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 |
package com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery; /** * Created by amardeep on 11/3/2017. */ import android.annotation.TargetApi; import android.content.Context; import android.os.Build; import android.util.AttributeSet; import android.widget.RelativeLayout; //square layout public class SquareLayout extends RelativeLayout { public SquareLayout(Context context) { super(context); } public SquareLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); } public SquareLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) { super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr); } @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) public SquareLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) { super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes); } @Override protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) { super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec); } } |
4. Create new layout -> custom_row_gallery_item.xml. This will be structure of single grid. Add ImageView and TextView which will be used for displaying image thumbnail and image name respectively.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery.SquareLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <!--Thumbnail of gallery item--> <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageViewThumbnail" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scaleType="centerCrop" /> <!--Textview for image name--> <TextView android:id="@+id/textViewImageName" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/imageViewThumbnail" android:background="#89000000" android:ellipsize="end" android:lines="1" android:padding="4dp" android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Small" /> </com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery.SquareLayout> |
5.Create new class package name->GalleryItem.java . This class is blueprint of data inside single gallery item. This class contains two fields Uri of image and name of image.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
package com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery; /** * Created by amardeep on 11/3/2017. */ //This class represents single gallery item public class GalleryItem { public String imageUri; public String imageName; public boolean isSelected = false; public GalleryItem(String imageUri, String imageName) { this.imageUri = imageUri; this.imageName = imageName; } } |
6.Create new class Package name ->ScreenUtils.java. This class used to get width and height of screen. Actually we did not need to create this class we can get screen width and height directly but to keep things organized we are creating this class.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 |
package com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Context; import android.database.Cursor; import android.net.Uri; import android.provider.MediaStore; import android.util.DisplayMetrics; /** * Created by amardeep on 11/3/2017. */ public class ScreenUtils { //static method to get screen width public static int getScreenWidth(Context context) { DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics(); ((Activity) context).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics); return displayMetrics.widthPixels; } //static method to get screen height public static int getScreenHeight(Context context) { DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics(); ((Activity) context).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics); return displayMetrics.heightPixels; } } |
7. Create new class Package name -> GalleryUtils.java. This class helps to get images from device storage from Download folder. You can modify CAMERA_IMAGE_BUCKET_NAME to other folders like “/DCIM/Camera” or any other folder.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 |
package com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery; import android.content.Context; import android.database.Cursor; import android.os.Environment; import android.provider.MediaStore; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; /** * Created by amardeep on 10/25/2017. */ public class GalleryUtils { //Define bucket name from which you want to take images Example '/DCIM/Camera' for camera images public static final String CAMERA_IMAGE_BUCKET_NAME = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/Download"; //method to get id of image bucket from path public static String getBucketId(String path) { return String.valueOf(path.toLowerCase().hashCode()); } //method to get images public static List<GalleryItem> getImages(Context context) { final String[] projection = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA}; final String selection = MediaStore.Images.Media.BUCKET_ID + " = ?"; final String[] selectionArgs = {GalleryUtils.getBucketId(CAMERA_IMAGE_BUCKET_NAME)}; final Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null); ArrayList<GalleryItem> result = new ArrayList<GalleryItem>(cursor.getCount()); if (cursor.moveToFirst()) { final int dataColumn = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA); final int nameColumn = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DISPLAY_NAME); do { GalleryItem galleryItem = new GalleryItem(cursor.getString(dataColumn), cursor.getString(nameColumn)); result.add(galleryItem); } while (cursor.moveToNext()); } cursor.close(); return result; } } |
8.Create new class which will serve as Adapter for our Main gallery view on app startup package name->GalleryAdapter.java add following code to it
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 |
package com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery; import android.content.Context; import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView; import android.view.LayoutInflater; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.widget.ImageView; import android.widget.TextView; import com.squareup.picasso.Picasso; import java.io.File; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; /** * Created by amardeep on 11/3/2017. */ public class GalleryAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter { //Declare GalleryItems List List<GalleryItem> galleryItems; Context context; //Declare GalleryAdapterCallBacks GalleryAdapterCallBacks mAdapterCallBacks; public GalleryAdapter(Context context) { this.context = context; //get GalleryAdapterCallBacks from contex this.mAdapterCallBacks = (GalleryAdapterCallBacks) context; //Initialize GalleryItem List this.galleryItems = new ArrayList<>(); } //This method will take care of adding new Gallery items to RecyclerView public void addGalleryItems(List<GalleryItem> galleryItems) { int previousSize = this.galleryItems.size(); this.galleryItems.addAll(galleryItems); notifyItemRangeInserted(previousSize, galleryItems.size()); } @Override public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) { LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context); View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_row_gallery_item, parent, false); return new GalleryItemHolder(row); } @Override public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, final int position) { //get current Gallery Item GalleryItem currentItem = galleryItems.get(position); //Create file to load with Picasso lib File imageViewThoumb = new File(currentItem.imageUri); //cast holder with gallery holder GalleryItemHolder galleryItemHolder = (GalleryItemHolder) holder; //Load with Picasso Picasso.with(context) .load(imageViewThoumb) .centerCrop() .resize(ScreenUtils.getScreenWidth(context) / 2, ScreenUtils.getScreenHeight(context) / 3)//Resize image to width half of screen and height 1/3 of screen height .into(galleryItemHolder.imageViewThumbnail); //set name of Image galleryItemHolder.textViewImageName.setText(currentItem.imageName); //set on click listener on imageViewThumbnail galleryItemHolder.imageViewThumbnail.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { //call onItemSelected method and pass the position and let activity decide what to do when item selected mAdapterCallBacks.onItemSelected(position); } }); } @Override public int getItemCount() { return galleryItems.size(); } public class GalleryItemHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder { ImageView imageViewThumbnail; TextView textViewImageName; public GalleryItemHolder(View itemView) { super(itemView); imageViewThumbnail = itemView.findViewById(R.id.imageViewThumbnail); textViewImageName = itemView.findViewById(R.id.textViewImageName); } } //Interface for communication of Adapter and MainActivity public interface GalleryAdapterCallBacks { void onItemSelected(int position); } } |
Breaking GalleryAdapter
Following method used to manage adding of new gallery items and notifying Adapter to update its view whenever new items gets added
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
//This method will take care of adding new Gallery items to RecyclerView public void addGalleryItems(List<GalleryItem> galleryItems) { int previousSize = this.galleryItems.size(); this.galleryItems.addAll(galleryItems); notifyItemRangeInserted(previousSize, galleryItems.size()); } |
Now when user will click on any gallery item how we can notify activity that which item is clicked ? For that we have interface class GalleryAdapterCallBacks which will handle communication between activity and Adapter.
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
//Interface for communication of Adapter and MainActivity public interface GalleryAdapterCallBacks { //call this method to notify about item is clicked void onItemSelected(int position); } |
9. Now we will create activity which will contain Recyclerview. So create new layout -> actvitiy_main.xml. Add Recyclerview in layout as shown below
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!--Define Gallery RecyclerView--> <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:id="@+id/recyclerViewGallery" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:scrollbars="vertical" tools:context="com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery.MainActivity" tools:showIn="@layout/activity_main"> </android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView> |
Create new class under Package name -> MainActivity.java
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 |
package com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery; import android.Manifest; import android.content.pm.PackageManager; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.annotation.NonNull; import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat; import android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment; import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.support.v7.widget.GridLayoutManager; import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView; import android.widget.Toast; import java.util.List; //Remember to implement GalleryAdapter.GalleryAdapterCallBacks to activity for communication of Activity and Gallery Adapter public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements GalleryAdapter.GalleryAdapterCallBacks { //Deceleration of list of GalleryItems public List<GalleryItem> galleryItems; //Read storage permission request code private static final int RC_READ_STORAGE = 5; GalleryAdapter mGalleryAdapter; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); //setup RecyclerView RecyclerView recyclerViewGallery = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerViewGallery); recyclerViewGallery.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this, 2)); //Create RecyclerView Adapter mGalleryAdapter = new GalleryAdapter(this); //set adapter to RecyclerView recyclerViewGallery.setAdapter(mGalleryAdapter); //check for read storage permission if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { //Get images galleryItems = GalleryUtils.getImages(this); // add images to gallery recyclerview using adapter mGalleryAdapter.addGalleryItems(galleryItems); } else { //request permission ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, RC_READ_STORAGE); } } @Override public void onItemSelected(int position) { //create fullscreen SlideShowFragment dialog SlideShowFragment slideShowFragment = SlideShowFragment.newInstance(position); //setUp style for slide show fragment slideShowFragment.setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NORMAL, R.style.DialogFragmentTheme); //finally show dialogue slideShowFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), null); } @Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) { super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults); if (requestCode == RC_READ_STORAGE) { if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { //Get images galleryItems = GalleryUtils.getImages(this); // add images to gallery recyclerview using adapter mGalleryAdapter.addGalleryItems(galleryItems); } else { Toast.makeText(this, "Storage Permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } } } |
Braking MainActivity
Following Piece of code will initialize and will setup Recyclerview . Set layout manager as GridLayoutManager with span count of 2 ( Read this post if you want to know more about layout managers refer this post Android RecyclerView Tutorial – Layout Managers )
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
//setup RecyclerView RecyclerView recyclerViewGallery = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerViewGallery); recyclerViewGallery.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this, 2)); //Create RecyclerView Adapter mGalleryAdapter = new GalleryAdapter(this); //set adapter to RecyclerView recyclerViewGallery.setAdapter(mGalleryAdapter); |
Beginning in Android 6.0 (API level 23), users grant permissions to apps while the app is running, not when they install the app. So we need to ask Read Storage permission before getting images from device or it will lead to crash. In following snippet we are first checking user already granted permission. Case 1 : User already granted permission we will query images from Device storage. Now case 2 : when if user is launching app for first time then permission is not given yet so ask for permission.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
//check for read storage permission if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { //Get images galleryItems = GalleryUtils.getImages(this); // add images to gallery recyclerview using adapter mGalleryAdapter.addGalleryItems(galleryItems); } else { //request permission ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, RC_READ_STORAGE); } |
After asking permission we will get result of permission in onRequestPermissionsResult() method. Check result. Case 1 : user granted permission then query images. Case 2 : user denied permission then show error message to user or handle it accordingly following piece of code handles result of permission.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
@Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) { super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults); if (requestCode == RC_READ_STORAGE) { if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { //Get images galleryItems = GalleryUtils.getImages(this); // add images to gallery recyclerview using adapter mGalleryAdapter.addGalleryItems(galleryItems); } else { Toast.makeText(this, "Storage Permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } } |
Building Full Screen Dialogue
10. Now when user will select any image from above grid we will launch full screen dialogue fragment. This dialogue will contain ViewPager to display selected image. Also ViewPager will help to load next or previous image on screen swipes. This dialogue also contains horizontal Recyclerview strip in which we will load small size thumbnails of all images so that user does not have to go back to select another image. Now first we will prepare our ViewPager Adapter and Horizontal Recyclerview strip Adapter. Create new layout -> pager_item.xml this layout will contain ImageView.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:scaleType="fitCenter" android:id="@+id/imageViewThumbnail" android:orientation="vertical"> </ImageView> |
11.Create new class Package name -> SlideShowPagerAdapter.java this class will serve as Adpater for viewpager
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 |
package com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery; import android.content.Context; import android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter; import android.view.LayoutInflater; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.widget.ImageView; import com.squareup.picasso.Picasso; import java.io.File; import java.util.List; /** * Created by amardeep on 11/3/2017. */ public class SlideShowPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter { Context mContext; //Layout inflater LayoutInflater mLayoutInflater; //list of Gallery Items List<GalleryItem> galleryItems; public SlideShowPagerAdapter(Context context, List<GalleryItem> galleryItems) { mContext = context; mLayoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); //set galleryItems this.galleryItems = galleryItems; } @Override public int getCount() { return galleryItems.size(); } @Override public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) { return view == ((ImageView) object); } @Override public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) { View itemView = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.pager_item, container, false); ImageView imageView = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.imageViewThumbnail); //load current image in viewpager Picasso.with(mContext).load(new File(galleryItems.get(position).imageUri)).fit().into(imageView); container.addView(itemView); return itemView; } @Override public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) { container.removeView((ImageView) object); } } |
12. Create new layout -> custom_row_gallery_strip_item.xml. This is structure of single item in horizontal Recyclerview strip.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery.SquareLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/squareLayout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageViewThumbnail" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:padding="2dp" android:scaleType="fitXY" /> </com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery.SquareLayout> |
12. Now we need to create Adapter for Horizontal Recyclerview Strip. Create new class Package name -> GalleryStripAdapter.java this class will serve as adapter for horizontal strip Recyclerview.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 |
package com.loopwiki.androidmaterialgallery; import android.content.Context; import android.graphics.Bitmap; import android.graphics.BitmapFactory; import android.media.ThumbnailUtils; import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat; import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView; import android.view.LayoutInflater; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.widget.ImageView; import java.util.List; public class GalleryStripAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter { //Declare list of GalleryItems List<GalleryItem> galleryItems; Context context; GalleryStripCallBacks mStripCallBacks; GalleryItem mCurrentSelected; public GalleryStripAdapter(List<GalleryItem> galleryItems, Context context, GalleryStripCallBacks StripCallBacks, int CurrentPosition) { //set galleryItems this.galleryItems = galleryItems; this.context = context; //set stripcallbacks this.mStripCallBacks = StripCallBacks; //set current selected mCurrentSelected = galleryItems.get(CurrentPosition); //set current selected item as selected mCurrentSelected.isSelected = true; } @Override public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) { LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context); View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_row_gallery_strip_item, parent, false); SquareLayout squareLayout = row.findViewById(R.id.squareLayout); return new GalleryStripItemHolder(squareLayout); } @Override public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, final int position) { //get Curent Gallery Item GalleryItem mCurrentItem = galleryItems.get(position); //get thumb square size 1/6 of screen width final int thumbSize = ScreenUtils.getScreenWidth(context) / 6; //cast holder to galleryStripItemHolder GalleryStripItemHolder galleryStripItemHolder = (GalleryStripItemHolder) holder; //get thumb size bitmap by using ThumbnailUtils Bitmap ThumbImage = ThumbnailUtils.extractThumbnail(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mCurrentItem.imageUri), thumbSize, thumbSize); //set thumbnail galleryStripItemHolder.imageViewThumbnail.setImageBitmap(ThumbImage); //set current selected if (mCurrentItem.isSelected) { galleryStripItemHolder.imageViewThumbnail.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, android.R.color.white)); } else { //value 0 removes any background color galleryStripItemHolder.imageViewThumbnail.setBackgroundColor(0); } galleryStripItemHolder.imageViewThumbnail.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { //call onGalleryStripItemSelected on click and pass position mStripCallBacks.onGalleryStripItemSelected(position); } }); } @Override public int getItemCount() { return galleryItems.size(); } public class GalleryStripItemHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder { ImageView imageViewThumbnail; public GalleryStripItemHolder(View itemView) { super(itemView); imageViewThumbnail = itemView.findViewById(R.id.imageViewThumbnail); } } //interface for communication on gallery strip interactions public interface GalleryStripCallBacks { void onGalleryStripItemSelected(int position); } //Method to highlight selected item on gallery strip public void setSelected(int position) { //remove current selection mCurrentSelected.isSelected = false; //notify recyclerview that we changed item to update its view notifyItemChanged(galleryItems.indexOf(mCurrentSelected)); //select gallery item galleryItems.get(position).isSelected = true; //notify recyclerview that we changed item to update its view notifyItemChanged(position); //set current selected mCurrentSelected = galleryItems.get(position); } //method to remove selection public void removeSelection() { mCurrentSelected.isSelected = false; } } |
Breaking GalleryStripAdapter
Following code will create small thumbnail and set it to ImageView.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
//get Curent Gallery Item GalleryItem mCurrentItem = galleryItems.get(position); //get thumb square size 1/6 of screen width final int thumbSize = ScreenUtils.getScreenWidth(context) / 6; //cast holder to galleryStripItemHolder GalleryStripItemHolder galleryStripItemHolder = (GalleryStripItemHolder) holder; //get thumb size bitmap by using ThumbnailUtils Bitmap ThumbImage = ThumbnailUtils.extractThumbnail(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mCurrentItem.imageUri), thumbSize, thumbSize); //set thumbnail galleryStripItemHolder.imageViewThumbnail.setImageBitmap(ThumbImage); |
Now when user will select any image then we need to highlight that item on Horizontal Recyclerview Strip for that we used following snippets
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
if (mCurrentItem.isSelected) { galleryStripItemHolder.imageViewThumbnail.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, android.R.color.white)); } else { //value 0 removes any background color galleryStripItemHolder.imageViewThumbnail.setBackgroundColor(0); } |
But when user will select any other image on Horizontal Recyclerview Strip then we have change selected image highlight and done by using following code
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
//Method to highlight selected item on gallery strip public void setSelected(int position) { //remove current selection mCurrentSelected.isSelected = false; //notify recyclerview that we changed item to update its view notifyItemChanged(galleryItems.indexOf(mCurrentSelected)); //select gallery item galleryItems.get(position).isSelected = true; //notify recyclerview that we changed item to update its view notifyItemChanged(position); //set current selected mCurrentSelected = galleryItems.get(position); } |
13. Seems our adapters and layout are ready now will create Full screen dialogue fragment. Create new layout -> fragment_silde_show.xml. Add ViewPager and at bottom add Recyclerview.

Thank you very much for this excellent tutorial. I have a question, How to make recyclerview scroll horizontally?
You can define orientation parameter while setting layout manager following is example
LayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getContext(), LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
set this layout manager to recyclerview
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
Please sir, tell me how to add image link….
Hello,
Thank you for your tutorial. But when i install on my phone which is android version 7.0, it is not work as you shown in above video. Application is loading with gray screen and nothing happen.
Hello mate, this application shows images from the Download directory. If it is not showing images then you probably don’t have any images in Download directory.
Thank you bro. Now, i get it. Sorry for my mistake.
So how do I import pictures in it? Thanks
How can I use for it in mysql database. Please modify your source code and give me link.
You can create API to get data from your mysql and then load that images accordingly
thank its good tutorial . i want add another folder how to add folders like camera ,Bluetooth….. this program not support multiple folders please help me
you can create dynamic content just create adapter which will loop though all folders and you can fetch this in background using async tasks
This is a great tutorial, but when I install this, the images are not stick together
according to this code .resize(ScreenUtils.getScreenWidth(context) / 2, ScreenUtils.getScreenHeight(context) / 3)
there are 2 pictures in a row, but the next two pictures are in next screen(scroll up by the screen height). I cannot figure out why….. There is a big gap between two rows, the size of the gap is the 2/3 screen height.
