image-picker

This is AIR Native Extension that extends standard CameraRoll available in AIR and adds next featuers:

• support for video assets;
• file-name for selected asset;
• loading video asset into ByteArray;

Usage

private var asset:Asset;
private var input:AssetInput;

var options:ImagePickerBrowseOptions = new ImagePickerBrowseOptions();
options.video = true;
options.image = true;

ImagePicker.sharedInstance().addEventListener(ImagePickerEvent.SELECT, selectHandler);
ImagePicker.sharedInstance().addEventListener(ImagePickerEvent.CANCEL, cancelHandler);
ImagePicker.sharedInstance().browse(options);

/** Handles case when user select asset */
private function selectHandler(event:ImagePickerEvent):void
{
  asset = event.asset;
  
  // open associated input stream
  input = asset.open();
  
  // check if input stream is successfully opened
  if (input != null)
  {
    input.addEventListener(Event.OPEN, input_openHandler);
  }
  else
  {
    // failed open input stream
  }
}

/** Handler case when user cancels selection */
private function cancelHandler(event:ImagePickerEvent):void
{
  // cancelled by user
}

/** Handles input stream opening */
private function input_openHandler (event:Event):void
{
  input.removeEventListener(Event.OPEN, openHandler);
  
  // read available bytes
  var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
  input.readBytes(bytes);
  
  // close Asset's input stream when you done
  asset.close();
}

NOTE: After v.1.1 you should close any asset ({Asset.close()} method) even if its input stream is not be opened directly through {Asset.open()} method. It is because on Android input stream is opened immediately after application receives asset selected ny user.
