7,468 PointsAndroid List of Images
Hello all,
can you guys provide me a good way how you would create some sort of gallery.
Like a list of images from a folder of your phone lets say the pictures folder.
I scoured the web but cannot find a good way all deprecated ways or way too complicated.
( maybe something with recyclerview etc.)

A recycler view is a good way to display gallery. See the 'picasso' API for making loading the images a lot less complicated than the native Android way. And there are loads of great tutorials for it too (Although as a teacher I am bound to suggest that working through the more complicated ways you find online will provide you with a better learning experience in the end.)
Hope this helps

This is a good basic starter one that uses Glide API. It helps you create and leaves you with a basic template that you can build on in your other projects https://javapapers.com/android/android-image-gallery-example-app-using-glide-library/
hope these help get you started
