Use photo picker

[mahibi]

We need to implement photo picker as Google might demand it via playstore.

Lint warnings because we use android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO: https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/checks/SelectedPhotoAccess.md.html

@mahibi I’d like to work on this issue regarding implementing the Photo Picker, as Google might require it for Play Store compliance.

One concern: We currently have a cropping functionality after picking an image, but Google’s Photo Picker doesn’t provide built-in cropping. What would you recommend for handling this? Should we integrate a third-party library or do you have another approach in mind?

Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks to offer help @Smarshal21 !
However there are currently overall discussions how the photos should be picked, see nextcloud/spreed#14414 (comment)

I would vote for the photo picker but it's not my decision. We will have to wait a bit more for decisions..

Thanks for the update, @mahibi! That makes sense—I'll keep an eye on the discussions around the photo selection approach.
