PhotoEditor v.1.0.0 is a migration to androidX and dropping the support of older support library. There are no API changes. If you find any issue migrating to v.1.0.0 , please follow this Guide. If you still facing the issue than you can always rollback to v.0.4.0. Any fix in PR are Welcome :)
To start with this, we need to simply add the dependencies from mavenCentral() in the gradle file of our app module like this
implementation 'com.burhanrashid52:photoeditor:1.5.1'or we can also import the :photoeditor module from sample for further customization
First we need to add PhotoEditorView in our xml layout
<ja.burhanrashid52.photoeditor.PhotoEditorView
android:id="@+id/photoEditorView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:photo_src="@drawable/got_s" />
We can define our drawable or color resource directly using app:photo_src
We can set the image programmatically by getting source from PhotoEditorView which will return a ImageView so that we can load image from resources,file or (Picasso/Glide)
PhotoEditorView mPhotoEditorView = findViewById(R.id.photoEditorView);
mPhotoEditorView.getSource().setImageResource(R.drawable.got);To use the image editing feature we need to build a PhotoEditor which requires a Context and PhotoEditorView which we have to setup in our xml layout
//Use custom font using latest support library
Typeface mTextRobotoTf = ResourcesCompat.getFont(this, R.font.roboto_medium);
//loading font from asset
Typeface mEmojiTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "emojione-android.ttf");
mPhotoEditor = new PhotoEditor.Builder(this, mPhotoEditorView)
.setPinchTextScalable(true)
.setClipSourceImage(true)
.setDefaultTextTypeface(mTextRobotoTf)
.setDefaultEmojiTypeface(mEmojiTypeFace)
.build();We can customize the properties in the PhotoEditor as per our requirement
| Property | Usage |
|---|---|
setPinchTextScalable() |
set false to disable pinch to zoom on text insertion. Default: true. |
setClipSourceImage() |
set true to clip the drawing brush to the source image. Default: false. |
setDefaultTextTypeface() |
set default text font to be added on image |
setDefaultEmojiTypeface() |
set default font specifc to add emojis |
That's it we are done with setting up our library
We can customize our brush and paint with different set of property. To start drawing on image we need to enable the drawing mode
| Type | Method |
|---|---|
| Enable/Disable | mPhotoEditor.setBrushDrawingMode(true); |
| Shape (brush, line, oval, rectangle) | mPhotoEditor.addShape(shape) |
| Shape size (px) | mPhotoEditor.setBrushSize(brushSize) or through the a ShapeBuilder |
| Shape opacity (In %) | mPhotoEditor.setOpacity(opacity) or through the a ShapeBuilder |
| Shape color | mPhotoEditor.setBrushColor(colorCode) or through the a ShapeBuilder |
| Brush Eraser | mPhotoEditor.brushEraser() |
Note: Whenever we set any property of a brush for drawing it will automatically enable the drawing mode
We can draw shapes from v.1.5.0. We use ShapeBuilder to define shape and other properties.
mShapeBuilder = new ShapeBuilder()
.withShapeOpacity(100)
.withShapeType(ShapeType.OVAL)
.withShapeSize(50);
mPhotoEditor.setShape(mShapeBuilder)For more details check ShapeBuilder.
We can apply inbuild filter to the source images using
mPhotoEditor.setFilterEffect(PhotoFilter.BRIGHTNESS);
We can also apply custom effect using Custom.Builder
For more details check Custom Filters
We can add the text with inputText and colorCode like this
mPhotoEditor.addText(inputText, colorCode);
It will take default fonts provided in the builder. If we want different fonts for different text we can set typeface with each text like this
mPhotoEditor.addText(mTypeface,inputText, colorCode);
In order to edit the text we need the view, which we will receive in our PhotoEditor callback. This callback will trigger when we Long Press the added text
mPhotoEditor.setOnPhotoEditorListener(new OnPhotoEditorListener() {
@Override
public void onEditTextChangeListener(View rootView, String text, int colorCode) {
}
});Now we can edit the text with a view like this
mPhotoEditor.editText(rootView, inputText, colorCode);
If you want more customization on text. Please refer the wiki page for more details.
We can add the Emoji by PhotoEditor.getEmojis(getActivity()); which will return a list of emojis unicode.
mPhotoEditor.addEmoji(emojiUnicode);
It will take default fonts provided in the builder. If we want different Emoji fonts for different emoji we can set typeface with each Emoji like this
mPhotoEditor.addEmoji(mEmojiTypeface,emojiUnicode);
We need to provide a Bitmap to add our Images mPhotoEditor.addImage(bitmap);
mPhotoEditor.undo();
mPhotoEditor.redo();For deleting a Text/Emoji/Image we can click on the view to toggle the view highlighter box which will have a close icon. So, by clicking on the icon we can delete the view.
We need to provide a file with callback method when edited image is saved
mPhotoEditor.saveAsFile(filePath, new PhotoEditor.OnSaveListener() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(@NonNull String imagePath) {
Log.e("PhotoEditor","Image Saved Successfully");
}
@Override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception exception) {
Log.e("PhotoEditor","Failed to save Image");
}
});For more detail check Saving

Can I use this library in my app for free?
Yes. It's an open-source library and free to use. If this library has saved your time then showing a little credit will increase my motivation towards making the library better :)
Does it support the CROP feature?
Currently, No. I started to build in branch PE-79. But due to time constraint, I drop the idea. Any PR related to CROP is welcomed :)
Facing issues in applying Filter?
The filter effect is applied using GlSurfaceView and the implementation of this feature causing a lot of issues. Need to think of some other alternative solution. Here is the issue list.
Does is support in other platforms (iOS, Web, Flutter)?
No. Currently, the focus is on making the android library better. We don't have any plans for other Platform.
Note: I will be happy to add your app to the list. Please reach out to me with details. You know how to reach me :)
