Let’s discuss how you can implement ImageZipper in your application

Gradle

Add this to your root build.gradle file:

allprojects {
        repositories {
            ...
            maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        }
    }

Add this to your app module’s build.gradle file:

dependencies {
          compile 'com.github.amanjeetsingh150:ImageZipper:1.3'
    }

Default Compressor

File imageZipperFile=new ImageZipper(this).compressToFile(actualFile);

Custom Compressor

File imageZipperFile=new ImageZipper(MainActivity.this)
                       .setQuality(10)
                       .setMaxWidth(200)
                       .setMaxHeight(200)
                       .compressToFile(actualFile);

OK Now Get me Bitmap!!

Bitmap b=new ImageZipper(MainActivity.this).compressToBitmap(actualFile);

LIST OF FUNCTIONS

If you want to use custom compressor:

Cool !! Now I need Base64 Encoding and Decoding:

String base64=ImageZipper.getBase64forImage(imageZipperFile);
   Bitmap b=ImageZipper.decodeBase64(String base64);

NOTE:
It required permissions: Add this to your manifest:
