Usage

Enable Camera & Storage Permissions

Get the captured/selected file path

// a new instance of media grabber, it can be injected with dagger
val mediaGrabber = MediaGrabber()

mediaGrabber
    .with(context)
    // image will start the camera and will read the images form local storage in a whatsapp-like view
    // you can also call file instead of images if you want to select from the local storage only without starting the camera
    .image() 
    .subscribe({ Log.i("##", it) /* it is the selected/captured image path */ }, { it.printStackTrace() })

Get the captured/selected file path - Full example using Permissions-Requester

// new instances of media grabber & permissions requester

val permissionsRequester = PermissionsRequester()
val mediaGrabber = MediaGrabber()

permissionsRequester.with(this)
    // returns a stream of booleans for each permission representing if it is granted or not 
    .request(arrayOf(Manifest.permission.CAMERA, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE))
    .filter { // verify that all the requested permissions are granted, or continue if you know what you're doing
        var res = true
        it.forEach { if (!it) res = false }
        return@filter res
    }
    .flatMapSingle { // start working with the media grabber
        mediaGrabber.with(this@MainActivity).image() 
    }
    .subscribe({ Log.i("##", it) }, { it.printStackTrace() })
