      .setRequestCode(100)                                           //Request code for activity results
      .setCount(3)                                                   //Number of images to restict selection count
      .setFrontfacing(false)                                         //Front Facing camera on start
      .setPreSelectedUrls(returnValue)                               //Pre selected Image Urls
      .setSpanCount(4)                                               //Span count for gallery min 1 & max 5
      .setMode(Options.Mode.All)                                     //Option to select only pictures or videos or both
      .setVideoDurationLimitinSeconds(30)                            //Duration for video recording
      .setScreenOrientation(Options.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)     //Orientaion
      .setPath("/pix/images");                                       //Custom Path For media Storage
    
Pix.start(MainActivity.this, options);

or just use with minimal config

Pix.start(context, Options.init().setRequestCode(100));

for fetching only a single picture.

Use onActivityResult method to get results

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == RequestCode) {
        ArrayList<String> returnValue = data.getStringArrayListExtra(Pix.IMAGE_RESULTS);
    }
}

Customise

Theme

include these items in colors.xml with custom color codes

<resources>
    <color name="colorPrimaryPix">#075e54</color>
    <color name="colorPrimaryLightPix">#80075e54</color>
</resources>

Permission Handling

include onRequestPermissionsResult method in your Activity/Fragment for permission selection

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case PermUtil.REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS: {
            // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                Pix.start(context, Options.init().setRequestCode(100));
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Approve permissions to open Pix ImagePicker", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
            return;
        }
    }
}

Pix is using the new Material library with the legacy Support Library. You have to migrate to android.support to androidx in order to use com.google.android.material.

With Android Studio 3.2 and higher, you can quickly migrate an existing project to use AndroidX by selecting Refactor > Migrate to AndroidX from the menu bar.
