Thank you for reading.
Please feel free to share what you think and give us a feedback.

 

Is it possible to make the plugin pull up more than just photo and video file types? Or rather where would I start to begin figuring that out?

 

Thank you for asking.
It's not possible for now, but it's feasible to add audio files from next version.
If you want to pull other files aside from photo, video and audio files, we need a time to develop and test.

 

Following video introduces new features.
*We don't know when it will be updated on Unity Asset Store.

Version v1.1.0
-Audio type support.
-Added mime type filter.(Beta version)

 

Android Local Gallery Plugin is just updated.
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/android-local-gallery-plugin-110680

You can pull audio files through following method.

Code (CSharp):

1. public void getFiles(
2.     string folderDir,
3.     int[] mediaTypes,
4.     string[] mimeTypes,
5.     string sortOrder,
6.     int offset,
7.     int limit,
8.     AndroidGalleryManager.onMediaCallback callback
9. )

Pull photo and video files.

Code (CSharp):

1. androidGalleryManager.getFiles (folderDir, new int[]{ FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE, FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO }, sortOrder, itemOffset, itemCount, onMediaCallback);

Pull audio files.

Code (CSharp):

1. androidGalleryManager.getFiles (folderDir, new int[]{ FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO }, sortOrder, itemOffset, itemCount, onMediaCallback);

Pull pdf files.

Code (CSharp):

1. androidGalleryManager.getFiles (folderDir, new int[]{ FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE_NONE }, new string[]{"'application/pdf'","'application/x-pdf'"}, sortOrder, itemOffset, itemCount, onMediaCallback);

These samples are applied to the DemoScene_GridAndGallery.unity
You also can check the behaviors through demo app.

Thanks

 

Thanks a bunch for the update, that definitely opens up options. I tried, 'application/octet-stream' for the mimetype filter and that doesn't seem to return anything though. My goal is to be able to view between just media type files and all files, and preferably in folder view. But the getAllFolders() method doesn't seem to support the mimetype stuff yet.

 

Thank you for checking about new features.
>tried, 'application/octet-stream' for the mimetype filter and that doesn't seem to return anything though.
We will investigate about it.
> But the getAllFolders() method doesn't seem to support the mimetype stuff yet.
Yes. You're right. Actually 'Native Library' supports getAllFolder with mimetype but AndroidGalleryManager doesn't have the method. We will add the method which supports mimetype from next version.

Thank you so much.

 

We submitted a new version of Android Local Gallery Plugin to the Unity Asset Store.
Unity will review it.

>application/octet-stream' for the mimetype filter and that doesn't seem to return anything though.
Will you please try the latest version of demo app. it supports custom mime type.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.taosoftware.android.localgallery.library

We guess that the file which you want to pull has a 'null' mime type.
You can pull all other type of files[mediaType: other, mimeType:none] via latest demo app.
The detail shows a mimetype like a following capture.

> But the getAllFolders() method doesn't seem to support the mimetype stuff yet.
getAllFolders will support mimetype like a capture below.


Thank you.

 

Hi I bought the asset and integrated into my project nothing shows? Though the Demo Scenes do work. The only thing that is different is the manifest files

Do I need to put the application data in?

 

Thank you for asking.

Your manifest file looks correct.
Android Local Gallery Plugin works with a following permission and UnityPlayerActivity.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
or
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

>Though the Demo Scenes do work. The only thing that is different is the manifest files
We would like to ask you for confirmation even if you already know about following questions.

1. Build options
Check minimum API Level is 4.4 or higher.
Check target API Level is 6.0 or higher.

2. Existence of the following files in your project hierarchy.
*AndroidGalleryManager object which attaches AndroidGalleryManager.cs
*RuntimePermission object which attaches RuntimePermission.cs

3. Existence of the following files in your project directory.
*Assets/Plugins/Android/androidgallerylibrary-release.aar

If it's not solved, we would like you to send us the application data through the e-Mail.

Thank you

 

what about iOS ? is there another asset that supports iOS File System?

 

Thank you for asking.
We tried to find similar asset for iOS but we only could find assets which can pick and store images through aOS and iOS native API.

 

I think there's a bug with the MediaData parsing thats causing a overflow on date_taken

/// <summary>
/// <para>The date and time that the image was taken in units of milliseconds since jan 1, 1970.</para>
/// <para>Type: INTEGER (long)</para>
/// </summary>
public int date_taken = 0;

This is causing the date_taken values to be negative

Could you take a look at making sure this is passed as a long (or is converted to seconds prior to leaving java)

Cheers!

 

Thank you for your feedback.
We're going to investigate it.

Thanks!

 

We investigated it and you are right.
Android reference said that it is the integer type but it will bring the problem like you said.
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns#DATE_TAKEN

We can see the correct values when we changed convert type from Integer to Long.

We will update it after test.

Thank you so much!

 

We fixed the problem which you told us before.
New version is already live.

Demo App is also updated to v1.1.3 so you can check the correct date_taken value.
