Android Image Picker Library mentioned below are not in any ranking order, however they are stable and tested

BottomSheet Image Picker Library

A modern image picker implemented as BottomSheet.

Features

• Select single/multiple images right in the bottom sheet
• Use camera to take a picture
• Choose image from gallery app
• Handles all permission requests

This library is based on BSImagePicker. The developer, siralam reimplemented everything in Kotlin and added some features. Also, siralam used the new androidX artifacts.

Add to Project

First make sure jitpack is included as a repository in your project‘s build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        //...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

And then add the below to your app’s build.gradle:

    implementation 'com.kroegerama:bottomsheet-imagepicker:<version>'

BSImagePicker

An image picker that extends BottomSheetDialogFragment. Camera and gallery all in one dialog. Single or Multi Selection.

When your app needs user to pick one or more images from their device, it is still quite painful in Android.
Without any customization, you first need to ask user whether he/she wants to take a picture using camera, or select one from a Gallery app.
Then you have to write quite some code to launch a Camera intent.
Not to mention that you cannot even let user select multiple images.

So an image picker that solves all these pains is almost present in every app. And this library does the below:

1. Without the need to ask user whether to take photo or select from gallery, these options are all in one dialog;
2. Works for both single and multiple selections;
3. Handle asking permissions for you;
4. You just need to show this dialog, and register callbacks that give you a Uri or List<Uri>.

The UI design of this library is referenced from TedBottomPicker.

Add to Project

First make sure jcenter() is included as a repository in your project‘s build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

And then add the below to your app’s build.gradle:

    implementation 'com.asksira.android:bsimagepicker:1.1.0'

You also need to make sure you have included 'com.android.support:support-v4:{supportLibraryVersion} in your dependencies.
