Deltachat-android: crop images before sending

Created on 25 Jan 2019 · 5Comments · Source: deltachat/deltachat-android

All users I have shared Delta Chat v0.100 with, complain about the new image editor, the old image editor (I guess it is the system build-in one) has options to crop the image, this is not possible now with this new image editor.
They mostly want to crop the image to reduce the size, so options for scaling, or selecting image quality/compression (ex. high, medium, low) would be really appreciated.

Delta Chat Version: 0.100

k, i see. integrating the sources to our code may make sense, at least if there is no other easy-enough-to-use lib. still, i would peek at the signal code before - maybe cropping is added there already :)

anyway, i think the place where cropping should be added should be below the other edit-options:

yeah, would be great if this is re-added. could be a simple option just below the current painting options.

wondering if this is supported by the system - at least the avatars selected for a group or self can be cropped.

yip, came over that these days, there is a system-intent that does this. not sure, if it is the easiest way to support that, however.

Nope. It's an library that is used to crop the avatar images. (com.soundcloud.android:android-crop:0.9.1)

That said, the library is not maintained anymore. I'm considering to integrate its classes into our source code directly in order to adapt the code in the future easily and because there is no hope for now that someone else will keep the cropping library up-to-date.
