NoCropper - Android Library for Cropping

Finally, after more than a year of working with Android, I’m releasing my first Open Source Library for Android. As the title says, the library is named NoCropper. It’s a lightweight library for cropping images. Since it doesn’t use any special features of Android, it is compatible with 11+ version of android (it uses ValueAnimator).

What’s So Special About It

Well, It’s my first open source library. Apart from that, it’s a simple image cropper which also lets user not crop the image and convert it to square with fancy animations.

Demo

Here’s a poorly made gif and YouTube video for you.

How To Use In Your Android Project

Just add the following dependency in your build.gradle file.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.fenchtose.nocropper:nocropper:0.3.0'
    // This page may be outdated as the library keeps updating.
    // implementation 'com.fenchtose.nocropper:nocropper:+'
    // We don't recommend this. It's better to check the latest version on the Github.
}

Following repositories can be added

Maven

repositories {
    maven {
        url  "http://dl.bintray.com/jayrambhia/maven"
    }
}

JCenter

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

Code

Java

    CropperImageView cropperView = (CropperView)findViewById(R.id.cropper_view);

    // Set Bitmap
    cropperView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

    // Set Max and Min Cropping
    cropperView.setMaxZoom(1.5f);
    cropperView.setMinZoom(0.8f);

    // set centerCrop
    cropperView.cropToCenter();

    // Fit image to center
    cropperView.fitToCenter();

    // Get Cropped Bitmap
    Bitmap croppedBitmap = cropperView.getCroppedBitmap();

XML Layout

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout 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"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

        <com.fenchtose.nocropper.CropperView
            android:background="#ff282828"
            android:id="@+id/cropper_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            app:grid_opacity="0.8"
            app:grid_thickness="0.8dp"
            app:grid_color="@color/colorAccent"
            app:padding_color="#ff282828"/>

    </RelativeLayout>        

Here’s a sample

P.S. This is quite exciting for me. Here’s a blogpost about it.
