<h1 align="center"> 💫 GeoTagImage (GTI) 📸🌍 </h1>
<p align="center"><b>GeoTagImage</b> is a lightweight, powerful Android library designed to simplify capturing photos with embedded real-time metadata. It automatically overlays location details (Address, City, Lat/Lng), custom timestamps, author names, and even a Google Maps static preview directly onto the image.</p>

#### Gradle

Add repository in your `settings.gradle`

```gradle
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}
```
#### OR
in your `settings.gradle.kts`
```gradle
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        maven( url = "https://jitpack.io")
    }
}

```

Updated

```gradle
pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        google {
            content {
                includeGroupByRegex("com\\.android.*")
                includeGroupByRegex("com\\.google.*")
                includeGroupByRegex("androidx.*")
            }
        }
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()

        maven( url = "https://jitpack.io")
    }
}
```
#### Add dependency :

Add dependency in your `build.gradle` (module-level) file :

```groovy
dependencies{

implementation 'com.github.dangiashish:GeoTagImage:${latest_version}'
}
```
#### OR
Add dependency in your `build.gradle.kts` (module-level) file :

```groovy
dependencies{

implementation("com.github.dangiashish:GeoTagImage:${latest_version}")

        <meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
        </provider>

```
#### Create an XML file for path provider [@xml/provider_path.xml](https://github.com/dangiashish/GeoTagImage/blob/afad2aca53837da4de3c37163911ed897bc3c540/app/src/main/res/xml/provider_paths.xml)
```groovy
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
        <paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

        </paths>
```

#### Implementation :
Reference → [activity_main.xml](https://github.com/dangiashish/GeoTagImage/blob/master/app/src/main/res/layout/activity_main.xml) & [MainActivity.kt](https://github.com/dangiashish/GeoTagImage/blob/afad2aca53837da4de3c37163911ed897bc3c540/app/src/main/java/com/codebyashish/geotagimage/MainActivity.kt)

```kotlin
import com.dangiashish.GeoTagImage
import com.dangiashish.PermissionCallback

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(), PermissionCallback{
    // create global variables
    private var gtiUri: Uri? = null
    private lateinit var geoTagImage: GeoTagImage
    private lateinit var cameraLauncher: ActivityResultLauncher<Uri>
    private lateinit var permissionLauncher: ActivityResultLauncher<Array<String>>

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        
    }
}

```
#### onCreate() / onCreateView()
```kotlin
permissionLauncher = registerForActivityResult(
    ActivityResultContracts.RequestMultiplePermissions()
) { permissions ->
    val allGranted = permissions.all { it.value }

if (allGranted) {
        onPermissionGranted()
    } else {
        onPermissionDenied()
    }
}

// cameraLauncher callback is required to capture the image from system camera.
cameraLauncher =
    registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.TakePicture()) { success ->
        if (success) {
            gtiUri = geoTagImage.processCapturedImage() // if captured via system camera
            previewCapturedImage()
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(mContext, "Image capture failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    }
```
#### Initialization
```kotlin
// initialize the GeoTagImage class object with context and callback
// use try/catch block to handle exceptions.
geoTagImage = GeoTagImage(this, permissionLauncher, cameraLauncher) // this || context || requireContext() || requireActivity()
geoTagImage.requestCameraAndLocationPermissions()

```
#### openCamera()
```kotlin
     // setOnClickListener on camera button.
binding.ivCamera.setOnClickListener {
    geoTagImage.launchCamera(
        onImageCaptured = { uri ->  // if captured via CameraX api
            if (uri != null) {
                gtiUri = uri
                previewCapturedImage()
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(mContext, "Failed to capture photo", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
        },
        onFailure = {
            Toast.makeText(mContext, it, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    )
}
```
#### customize geo tags
```kotlin
     // set all the customizations for geotagging as per your requirements after initialization.

geoTagImage.enableGTIService(false) // Enable/Disable GTI Features

geoTagImage.enableCameraX(true)  // enable cameraX as default
geoTagImage.setTextSize(30f)
geoTagImage.setBackgroundRadius(5f)
geoTagImage.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#66000000"))
geoTagImage.setTextColor(Color.WHITE)
geoTagImage.setAuthorName("Ashish")
geoTagImage.showAuthorName(true)
geoTagImage.showAppName(true)
geoTagImage.setImageExtension(PNG)
geoTagImage.setLabel("Clicked By") // Upload By || Author || Captured By
geoTagImage.setDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss") // default date format
geoTagImage.setCameraAspectRatio(RATIO_1X1) // RATIO_1X1 || RATIO_4X3 || RATIO_16X9 || RATIO_FULL
geoTagImage.setMapView(MapViewType.SATELLITE) // MapViewType.ROADMAP || MapViewType.SATELLITE || MapViewType.TERRAIN || MapViewType.HYBRID

```

#### preview the original image
```kotlin
        // preview of the original image
private fun previewCapturedImage() {
    gtiUri?.let { uri ->
        binding.ivImage.let { imageView ->
            try {
                val bitmap = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P) {
                    ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap(ImageDecoder.createSource(contentResolver, uri))
                } else {
                    @Suppress("DEPRECATION")
                    MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(contentResolver, uri)
                }
                imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
                imageView.visibility = View.VISIBLE

} catch (e: Exception) {
                Log.e(TAG, "Error loading image: ${e.message}")
            }
        }
    }
}
```
