Passing of captured image or from gallery to another activity

I've been trying to pass the image from gallery or from camera to another activity but they don't work properly. If the image from the gallery will work then the image from camera won't work and vice versa. Please help me fix my code. Here are my code for the MainActivity and for the SecondActivity. Thank you!
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button btnStart,btnGallery,btnAbout;
ImageView reademlogo, pianotiles,imgclouds,imgclouds2,imgsharp,imgfclef;
TextView txtread;
Typeface tf1;
private final int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 1;
private final int PICK_IMAGE = 1;
Uri imageUri;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
UserInterface();
}
private void UserInterface() {
btnStart = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnStart);
btnGallery = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnGallery);
btnAbout = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnAbout);
reademlogo = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.reademLogo);
pianotiles = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.pianotiles);
imgclouds = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgclouds);
imgclouds2 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgclouds2);
imgsharp = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgsharp);
imgfclef = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgfclef);
txtread = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtread);
tf1 = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
"fonts/VeganStylPersonalUse.ttf");
txtread.setTypeface(tf1);
}
public void captureImage(View view) {
Intent iCamera = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (iCamera.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivityForResult(iCamera, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
}
}
public void galImage(View view) {
Intent iGallery = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
iGallery.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(iGallery, PICK_IMAGE);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE){
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)Objects.requireNonNull(data.getExtras()).get("data");
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,Camera.class);
intent.putExtra("Bitmap",bitmap);
startActivity(intent);
}
else if(requestCode == PICK_IMAGE){
if(data != null){
imageUri = data.getData();
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,Camera.class);
intent.putExtra("imageUri",imageUri);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
}
}
Camera.java
public class Camera extends AppCompatActivity {
Button btnCap, btnUse;
ImageView imageView3;
Uri imageUri;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_camera);
btnCap = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnCap);
btnUse = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnUse);
imageView3 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView3);
if (getIntent().getExtras() != null) {
imageUri = Uri.parse(getIntent().getStringExtra("imageUri"));
imageView3.setImageURI(imageUri);
}
Intent intentCam = getIntent();
Bitmap camera_img = (Bitmap)intentCam.getParcelableExtra("Bitmap");
if(camera_img != null){
imageView3.setImageBitmap(camera_img);
}
}
}

Try this it is working fine for me.
//Use this method to select image from Gallery
private void processGalleryImage() {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"),
GALLERY_REQUEST_CODE);
}
//Use this method to click image from Camera
private void processCameraImage() {
Intent cameraIntent = new
Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQUEST_CODE);
}
//Use this method to get image from Gallery/Captured from Camera
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST_CODE) {
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
//Starting activity (ImageViewActivity in my code) to preview image
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ImageViewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("BitmapImage", photo);
startActivity(intent);
} else if (requestCode == GALLERY_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (data.getData() != null) {
Uri imageUri = data.getData();
//Starting activity (ImageViewActivity in my code) to preview image
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ImageViewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("ImageUri", imageUri.toString());
startActivity(intent);
}
}
}
}
//ImageViewActivity code
private Bitmap bitmap;
private String uri;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_image_view);
ButterKnife.bind(this);
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle != null) {
bitmap = bundle.getParcelable("BitmapImage");
uri = bundle.getString("ImageUri");
if (bitmap != null)
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
else
Glide.with(this).load(uri).into(imageView);
}
}
I am using the Glide library to load image in image view in case if i have image url.

Pass gallery image from MainActivity to another Activity

My Main2Activity class
public class Main2Activity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static int PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST = 1;
ImageView imgView;
static final String TAG = "Main2Activity";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);
}
public void loadImagefromGallery(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
try {
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
final Uri uri = data.getData();
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), uri);
int nh = (int) (bitmap.getHeight() * (1024.0 / bitmap.getWidth()));
Bitmap scaled = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 1024, nh, true);
imgView = (ImageView) findViewById(imageView);
imgView.setImageBitmap(scaled);
Button button3 = (Button) findViewById(bt_tab3);
button3.setOnClickListener
(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Main3Activity.class);
intent.setData(uri).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "No.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Oops! Sorry", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
And the Main3Activity
public class Main3Activity extends AppCompatActivity {
ImageView imageView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main3);
imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
Uri imageUri = getIntent().getData();
imageView.setImageURI(imageUri);
}
}
How can I show same gallery image in MainActivity and another Activity?

Move your Button related codes into onCreate() and send Uri as String using intent extras.
Update Main2Activity as below:
public class Main2Activity extends AppCompatActivity {
static final String TAG = "Main2Activity";
private static int PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST = 1;
ImageView imgView;
Button button3;
Uri imageUri;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);
imgView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
button3 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bt_tab3);
button3.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Main3Activity.class);
intent.putExtra("imageUri", imageUri.toString());
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
public void loadImagefromGallery(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
try {
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
// Get uri
imageUri = data.getData();
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), imageUri);
int nh = (int) (bitmap.getHeight() * (1024.0 / bitmap.getWidth()));
Bitmap scaled = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 1024, nh, true);
// Set image
imgView.setImageBitmap(scaled);
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "No.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Oops! Sorry", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Get Uri as string from intent and construct Uri from string using Uri.parse() method.
Update Main3Activity as below:
public class Main3Activity extends AppCompatActivity {
ImageView imageView;
Uri imageUri;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main3);
imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
if (getIntent().getExtras() != null) {
imageUri = Uri.parse(getIntent().getStringExtra("imageUri"));
imageView.setImageURI(imageUri);
}
}
}

Pass the file path from the uri as String like this to Main3Activity.
button3.setOnClickListener
(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Main3Activity.class);
intent.putExtra("filePath", uri.getPath());
startActivity(intent);
}
});
And in Main3Activity get the data passed from the calling Activity like this.
public class Main3Activity extends AppCompatActivity {
ImageView imageView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main3);
imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
File file = new File(getIntent().getStringExtra("filePath"));
setImageFromFileIntoImageView(file);
}
private void setImageFromFileIntoImageView (File imgFile)
if(imgFile.exists()){
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());
imageView.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
}
}
}
You need to add the following permission in your AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

based on you not accepting previous answers here is a different approach :
first convert your image to byte array like :
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("/path/to/image.jpg");
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos); //bm is bitmap object
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();
then convert that into string like :
String encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(byteArrayImage, Base64.DEFAULT);
then from your first activity make an intent and put that string as an extra like:
Intent imageIntent = new Intent(context,Main3Activity.class);
imageIntent.putExtra("image",encodedImage);
startActivity(imageIntent);
and after that it is so easy to get this string in the next activity using getIntent and then getExtra
hope this helps.

Blurred Image Issue in Imageview

I have implemented Camera via Intent and set that Image in Imageview which is appearing blurred, while the same Image appear's clear in ImageGallery. The code and related picture are as follows :
Image saved in SD CARD
Blurred image in Imageview
Activity Class :
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
Button b1,b2;
ImageView iv;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
b1=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
iv=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
});
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
Bitmap bp = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
iv.setImageBitmap(bp);
}
File is being saved in sdcard and also I retrive its URI sucessfully, but still imageview do not show this image or imageview disappear when camera click and return. Code are as follows -:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
static int TAKE_PIC =1;
Uri outPutfileUri;
ImageView mImageView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
}
public void CameraClick(View v) {
Intent intent= new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
"MyPhoto.jpg");
outPutfileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outPutfileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, TAKE_PIC);
}
Bitmap bitmap = null;
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,Intent data)
{
if (requestCode == TAKE_PIC && resultCode==RESULT_OK) {
String uri = outPutfileUri.toString();
Log.e("uri-:", uri);
mImageView.setImageURI(Uri.parse(uri));
}
}}
Please suggest me how to get path of clicked image and set it to imageview. I am new here.

First of all, the image is blurred because the intent data contains only the thumbnail of the image.
you must save the image on the internal/external storage and then acquire it.
feel free to take a look at the android developers documentation regarding camera images:
Android Developers
and this older SO answer explains how to retrieve the full size image after saving it :
Android get full size image from camera

Try This,
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
static int TAKE_PIC =1;
Uri outPutfileUri;
ImageView mImageView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
}
public void CameraClick(View v) {
Intent intent= new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
"MyPhoto.jpg");
outPutfileUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outPutfileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, TAKE_PIC);
}
Bitmap bitmap = null;
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,Intent data)
{
if (requestCode == TAKE_PIC && resultCode==RESULT_OK) {
String uri = outPutfileUri.toString();
Log.e("uri-:", uri);
Toast.makeText(this, outPutfileUri.toString(),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(uri);
// mImageView.setImageURI(Uri.parse(uri)); OR drawable make image strechable so try bleow also
try {
bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), outPutfileUri);
Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bitmap);
mImageView.setImageDrawable(d);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
Hope this will help you enjoy!!!!!

Saving bitmap at custom path and with custom name

my program captures an image (as bitmap) but I don't know (and couldn't find) how to save it with a custom name at a custom path... Here's my image capture codes. Can I do it? Or is there any way saving it as another data type, not bitmap? some help will be great. Thanks.
public class ShowMessagesPage extends Activity {
final static int CAMERA_RESULT = 0;
DBAdapter db = new DBAdapter(this);
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_show_messages_page);
Button userButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
userButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
error();
}});
Button buttonPhoto = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonPhoto);
buttonPhoto.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent i = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(i, CAMERA_RESULT);
}});}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
Intent intent) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
}
}
and the other codes..........

Try this:
Intent getCameraImage = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
File cameraFolder;
if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED))
cameraFolder = new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"folder_name_of_your_choice");
else
cameraFolder= ShowMessagesPage.this.getCacheDir();
if(!cameraFolder.exists())
cameraFolder.mkdirs();
File photo = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "folder_name_of_your_choice/camera_snap.jpg");
getCameraImage.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photo));
initialURI = Uri.fromFile(photo);
startActivityForResult(getCameraImage, CAMERA_RESULT);
And in the onActivityResult(), process the Uri initialURI to get your Image which is already saved to the path you have chosen in the code posted above. The name of the image file will be: camera_snap.jpg
Note: The Uri initialURI is declared globally.

When using the Camera app in Android, how can I return the whole image instead of just the thumbnail?

I am making an app that sends a picture taken from the Camera app however the image it returns seems to be only a thumbnail how can I get it to turn the whole image?
The following code gets an image, but it's too small.
public class OnTheJobActivity extends Activity{
private static final int CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST = 1337;
private Button takePictureButton;
private Button sendPictureButton;
private Bitmap thumbnail;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.setRequestedOrientation(
ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
setContentView(R.layout.onthejob);
takePictureButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.takePictureButton);
takePictureButton.setOnClickListener(takePictureButtonListener);
sendPictureButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.sendPictureButton);
sendPictureButton.setOnClickListener(sendPictureButtonListener);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST) {
thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.photoResultView);
image.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
sendPictureButton.setVisibility(Button.VISIBLE);
}
}
private OnClickListener takePictureButtonListener = new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0){
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);
}
};
private OnClickListener sendPictureButtonListener = new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0){
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, "abc#gmail.com");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"On The Job");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, thumbnail);
i.setType("image/bmp");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i,"Emailfile"));
}
};
}

You could also change the intent you're using.
//in your buttonListener
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
imageUri = getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
//create new Intent
Intent i = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
i.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);
try{
startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_GET_IMAGE);
}
catch(Exception ex){
Log.v("BRE", ex.toString());
}
//in your activity
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if(requestCode == ACTIVITY_GET_IMAGE){
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
try{String uri = data.getData().toString()}
catch(NullPointerException e){//do something}
}
}
}
This will return a uri which you can then use to access the full resolution image

Try using the implementation shown here
Specifically:
Camera.PictureCallback mPictureCallback = new Camera.PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] imageData, Camera c) {
}
};
