This example demonstrates how to pick an image from an image gallery on Android using Kotlin.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="2dp"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" /> <Button android:id="@+id/buttonLoadPicture" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_weight="0" android:text="Load Picture" /> </LinearLayout>
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.kt
import android.content.Intent import android.net.Uri import android.os.Bundle import android.provider.MediaStore import android.widget.Button import android.widget.ImageView import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { lateinit var imageView: ImageView lateinit var button: Button private val pickImage = 100 private var imageUri: Uri? = null override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) title = "KotlinApp" imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView) button = findViewById(R.id.buttonLoadPicture) button.setOnClickListener { val gallery = Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI) startActivityForResult(gallery, pickImage) } } override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data) if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == pickImage) { imageUri = data?.data imageView.setImageURI(imageUri) } } }
Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.q11"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest>
Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click the Run icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen.
