Add option to select photos from Google Photos and other sources

Open SreenuAndroid opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Currently, the library supports only local photos in Explorer. This makes the library inefficient and incomplete for bigger projects. Please add option to select photos from other sources like Google Photos and other remote options like Drive, Dropbox and so on.

You're right, but AFAIK we can't show / query the images from Google photos or other remote sources. Any idea about the UI and UX?

Hey @esafirm, I think we can have an "other" option in the folder activity. Which on clicking would open the documents picker of the system, which would show the photos present in Google Photos, Drive, Dropbox etc which users could select from. I've seen Instagram and Twitter implement a similar architecture to achieve this. Let me know your thoughts.

Okay, so I created a PR (https://github.com/esafirm/android-image-picker/pull/400) with the same capability. @esafirm Please do take a look at it!
