Add ability to multiselect media in one go!

[mahalakshme]

Need:

In usecases, where users are in need to add around 5 images, adding them each time by clicking 'Add More' is a pain. Hence they want to add them in one go.

Acceptance criteria:

• Being able to multiselect image, video and file that supports multiselect options in one go without the need to click 'Add More' option each time.
• Scope of this card is within mobile app since currently DEA doesn't support multiselect itself
• Clicking on 'Add more' should provide the ability to add more media in one go.
• For audio concept, currently multiselect not supported. if easy then support multiselect for audio concept. Note: package for supporting audio might be different.

Technical details: updated as on 27th March:

• Found that this feature is supported only from android version 13 in the library we use, and that is enough to support.
• Refer the attached patch file in the comment for the work that has already been done.

Out of scope:

• Not for DEA
• Not for Audio it it takes more than 3 hours.

Suggestions:

no need UI/UX change.

The newer version of react-native-image-picker has a selectionLimit. Setting this to 0 allows an infinite number of images to be selected.

Notes:

• Audio selection of existing file was broken. Fixed that. Separate story will be needed to properly support Audio MultiSelect form elements.
• MultiSelect also worked for me on versions of android lower than 13. (Tested on android 11 with google photos as the gallery app).

Testing Scope:

Image - Single and Multi Select
Video - Single and Multi Select
File - Single and Multi Select
Audio - Single Select
All of the above on android >=13 and android < 13
