How to Create Image Gallery by View Pager In Android

 In some application we have requirement of Image Gallery in which all respective images will show on single UI like Image Gallery App. In this blog we will learn about how to create Image gallery app using View Pager.

before going further here is brief about View Pager:

Layout manager that allows the user to flip left and right through pages of data. You supply an implementation of a PagerAdapter to generate the pages that the view shows. ViewPager is most often used in conjunction with android. app.

So let's start making our App Step by Step.


Step 1: Create activity_main.xml and before this make 2 icons prev and next under mipmap folder.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
 <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
   android:layout_width="match_parent"  
   android:layout_height="match_parent"  
   android:orientation="vertical"  
   tools:context=".MainActivity">  
   <LinearLayout  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="0dp"  
     android:layout_weight="0.8"  
     android:orientation="horizontal">  
     <ImageView  
       android:id="@+id/prev"  
       android:layout_width="0dp"  
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
       android:layout_gravity="center"  
       android:layout_weight="0.1"  
       android:src="@mipmap/prev" />  
     <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager  
       android:id="@+id/view_pager"  
       android:layout_width="0dp"  
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
       android:layout_weight="0.8">  
     </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>  
     <ImageView  
       android:id="@+id/next"  
       android:layout_width="0dp"  
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
       android:layout_gravity="center"  
       android:layout_weight="0.1"  
       android:src="@mipmap/next" />  
   </LinearLayout>  
   <HorizontalScrollView  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="0dp"  
     android:layout_weight="0.2">  
     <LinearLayout  
       android:id="@+id/container"  
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
       android:orientation="horizontal" />  
   </HorizontalScrollView>  
 </LinearLayout>  

Step 2: Its time to add some more images which we want to show in mipmap folder. we have added a.png,b.png,c.png,d.png,e.png,f.png and g.png icons . 

Step 3: Create fragment_page.xml inside layout folder

 <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
   android:layout_width="match_parent"  
   android:layout_height="match_parent"  
   tools:context="com.droidmedium">  
   <ImageView  
     android:id="@+id/image"  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:contentDescription="@string/app_name"  
     android:layout_height="match_parent" />  
 </FrameLayout>  

Step 4 : Now create item_image.xml inside layout folder

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
 <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   android:layout_width="match_parent"  
   android:layout_height="match_parent"  
   android:orientation="horizontal">  
   <ImageView  
     android:id="@+id/img_thumb"  
     android:layout_width="80dp"  
     android:layout_height="80dp"  
     android:layout_marginTop="5dp"  
     android:scaleType="centerCrop" />  
 </LinearLayout>  

Step 5: Create PageFragment.java file 

 package com.droidmedium;  
 import android.graphics.Bitmap;  
 import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;  
 import android.os.Bundle;  
 import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;  
 import android.view.LayoutInflater;  
 import android.view.View;  
 import android.view.ViewGroup;  
 import android.widget.ImageView;  
 public class PageFragment extends Fragment {  
   private int imageResource;  
   private Bitmap bitmap;  
   public static PageFragment getInstance(int resourceID) {  
     PageFragment f = new PageFragment();  
     Bundle args = new Bundle();  
     args.putInt("image_source", resourceID);  
     f.setArguments(args);  
     return f;  
   }  
   @Override  
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
     imageResource = getArguments().getInt("image_source");  
   }  
   @Override  
   public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
     return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_page, container, false);  
   }  
   @Override  
   public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
     super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);  
     ImageView imageView = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.image);  
     BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();  
     o.inSampleSize = 4;  
     o.inDither = false;  
     bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), imageResource, o);  
     imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);  
   }  
   @Override  
   public void onDestroy() {  
     super.onDestroy();  
     bitmap.recycle();  
     bitmap = null;  
   }  
 }  

Step 6: Create ViewPagerAdapter.java file

 package com.droidmedium;  
 import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;  
 import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;  
 import android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter;  
 import java.util.List;  
 public class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {  
   private List<Integer> images;  
   public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, List<Integer> imagesList) {  
     super(fm);  
     this.images = imagesList;  
   }  
   @Override  
   public Fragment getItem(int position) {  
     return PageFragment.getInstance(images.get(position));  
   }  
   @Override  
   public int getCount() {  
     return images.size();  
   }  
 }  

Step 7 : Now finally our MainActivity.java

 package com.droidmedium;  
 import android.graphics.Bitmap;  
 import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;  
 import android.os.Bundle;  
 import android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter;  
 import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;  
 import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;  
 import android.view.View;  
 import android.widget.ImageView;  
 import android.widget.LinearLayout;  
 import java.util.ArrayList;  
 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {  
   private ArrayList<Integer> images;  
   private BitmapFactory.Options options;  
   private ViewPager viewPager;  
   private View btnNext, btnPrev;  
   private FragmentStatePagerAdapter adapter;  
   private LinearLayout thumbnailsContainer;  
   private final static int[] resourceIDs = new int[]{R.mipmap.a, R.mipmap.b,  
       R.mipmap.c, R.mipmap.d, R.mipmap.e, R.mipmap.f, R.mipmap.g};  
   @Override  
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
     setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
     images = new ArrayList<>();  
     //find view by id  
     viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.view_pager);  
     thumbnailsContainer = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.container);  
     btnNext = findViewById(R.id.next);  
     btnPrev = findViewById(R.id.prev);  
     btnPrev.setOnClickListener(onClickListener(0));  
     btnNext.setOnClickListener(onClickListener(1));  
     setImagesData();  
     // init viewpager adapter and attach  
     adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), images);  
     viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);  
     inflateThumbnails();  
   }  
   private View.OnClickListener onClickListener(final int i) {  
     return new View.OnClickListener() {  
       @Override  
       public void onClick(View v) {  
         if (i > 0) {  
           //next page  
           if (viewPager.getCurrentItem() < viewPager.getAdapter().getCount() - 1) {  
             viewPager.setCurrentItem(viewPager.getCurrentItem() + 1);  
           }  
         } else {  
           //previous page  
           if (viewPager.getCurrentItem() > 0) {  
             viewPager.setCurrentItem(viewPager.getCurrentItem() - 1);  
           }  
         }  
       }  
     };  
   }  
   private void setImagesData() {  
     for (int i = 0; i < resourceIDs.length; i++) {  
       images.add(resourceIDs[i]);  
     }  
   }  
   private void inflateThumbnails() {  
     for (int i = 0; i < images.size(); i++) {  
       View imageLayout = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.item_image, null);  
       ImageView imageView = (ImageView) imageLayout.findViewById(R.id.img_thumb);  
       imageView.setOnClickListener(onChagePageClickListener(i));  
       options = new BitmapFactory.Options();  
       options.inSampleSize = 3;  
       options.inDither = false;  
       Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), images.get(i), options );  
       imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);  
       //set to image view  
       imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);  
       //add imageview  
       thumbnailsContainer.addView(imageLayout);  
     }  
   }  
   private View.OnClickListener onChagePageClickListener(final int i) {  
     return new View.OnClickListener() {  
       @Override  
       public void onClick(View v) {  
         viewPager.setCurrentItem(i);  
       }  
     };  
   }  
 }  

our final application will look like this:




That's All .Thank you .

Auto read OTP using SMS User Consent API in Android

Some times ago Google Play restricts the use of high risk or sensitive permissions, including the SMS or Call Log permission groups. It means you have to justify why you are taking SMS or other high risk or sensitive permissions for your application .For this you may be required to complete the Permissions Declaration Form and receive approval from Google Play. Before this every app even who does not have any purpose for taking SMS or other high sensitive permissions in their app ,They was taking these permissions from users and this is a kind of security beach.  For solution of this problem Google introduce SMS User Consent API . The SMS User Consent API complements the SMS Retriever API by allowing an app to prompt the user to grant access to the content of a single SMS message. When a user gives consent, the app will then have access to the entire message body to automatically complete SMS verification. If your appeal for SMS permission is rejected by Google team you can u...
