Share loaded image with glide from imageview

I have a loaded image on my imageview widget which was loaded from glide library. I want to use a share intent to share that image to other applications. I have tried various possibilities without any success. Please help.
public class BookstorePreviewActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
ImageView imageView;
LinearLayout mShare;
#Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_bookstore_preview);
imageView = findViewById(R.id.image_preview_books);
mShare= findViewById(R.id.download_books);
mShare.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// fetching image view item from cache
imageView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bitmap = imageView.getDrawingCache();
File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File cachePath = new File(root.getAbsolutePath());
try {
cachePath.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(cachePath);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outputStream);
outputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// sharing image to other applications (image not found)
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(cachePath));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share via"));
}
});

Just Pass activity context to the takeScreenShot activity it will
work!!!
public static Bitmap takeScreenShot(Activity activity) {
View view = activity.getWindow().getDecorView();
view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
view.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap b1 = view.getDrawingCache();
Rect frame = new Rect();
activity.getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(frame);
int statusBarHeight = frame.top;
//Find the screen dimensions to create bitmap in the same size.
DisplayMetrics dm = activity.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
int width = dm.widthPixels;
int height = dm.heightPixels;
Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(b1, 0, statusBarHeight, width, height - statusBarHeight);
view.destroyDrawingCache();
takeScreen(b,activity);
return b;
}
public static void takeScreen(Bitmap bitmap,Activity a) {
//Bitmap bitmap = ImageUtils.loadBitmapFromView(this, view); //get Bitmap from the view
String mPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "tarunkonda" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpeg";
File imageFile = new File(mPath);
try {
OutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(imageFile);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, fout);
fout.flush();
fout.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
openScreenshot(imageFile,a);
}
private static void openScreenshot(File imageFile,Activity activity) {
Intent intent = new Intent(activity,ImageDrawActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(ScreenShotActivity.PATH_INTENT_KEY,imageFile.getAbsolutePath());
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
activity.startActivity(intent);
}

here mContentView is the parent view of your surface view.
apply this and let me know if you are not getting image screen shots.

How to save an image attached to the image view?

I am using a Glide library for loading remote URLs into ImageView's.
I want to save the image from this ImageView to gallery. (I don't want to make another network call again to download the same image).
How we can achieve this?

Glide.with(yourApplicationContext))
.load(youUrl)
.asBitmap()
.into(new SimpleTarget<Bitmap>(myWidth, myHeight) {
#Override
public void onResourceReady(Bitmap bitmap, GlideAnimation anim) {
//set bitmap to imageview and save
}
};

BitmapDrawable drawable = (BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable();
Bitmap bitmap = drawable.getBitmap();
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 200, 200, false);
scaledBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 60, byteArrayOutputStream);
String fileName = "image.jpeg";
File file = new File("your_directory_path/"
+ fileName);
try {
file.createNewFile();
// write the bytes in file
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
fileOutputStream.write(byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray());
// remember close the FileOutput stream
fileOutputStream.close();
ToastHelper.show(getString(R.string.qr_code_save));
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
ToastHelper.show("Error");
}
Note : If your drawble is not always an instanceof BitmapDrawable
Bitmap bitmap;
if (mImageView.getDrawable() instanceof BitmapDrawable) {
bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) mImageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
} else {
Drawable d = mImageView.getDrawable();
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(d.getIntrinsicWidth(), d.getIntrinsicHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
}
Try this

I haven't try this way. But i think this match your problem. Put this code on onBindViewHolder of your RecyclerView adapter.
Glide.with(yourApplicationContext))
.load(youUrl)
.asBitmap()
.into(new SimpleTarget<Bitmap>(myWidth, myHeight) {
#Override
public void onResourceReady(Bitmap bitmap, GlideAnimation anim) {
//Set bitmap to your ImageView
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
viewHolder.saveButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
//Save bitmap to gallery
saveToGallery(bitmap);
}
});
}
};

This might help you
public void saveBitmap(ImageView imageView) {
Bitmap bitmap = ((GlideBitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File myDir = new File(root + "/My Images");
myDir.mkdirs();
Random generator = new Random();
int n = 10000;
n = generator.nextInt(n);
String fname = "Image-" + n + ".jpg";
File file = new File(myDir, fname);
if (file.exists()) file.delete();
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {
//ignore
}
}

how to create and save a screenshot from a surfaceview?

I have an app that I want to be able to capture a screenshot
Here is my code :
public class Screenshot {
private final View view;
/** Create snapshots based on the view and its children. */
public Screenshot(View root) {
this.view = root;
}
/** Create snapshot handler that captures the root of the whole activity. */
public Screenshot(Activity activity) {
final View contentView = activity.findViewById(android.R.id.content);
this.view = contentView.getRootView();
}
/** Take a snapshot of the view. */
public Bitmap snap() {
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(this.view.getWidth(), this.view.getHeight(), Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
view.draw(canvas);
return bitmap;
}
}
but the contents of the surfaceView is saved as black.!!!
Please help me, Thanks...

I hope you have used this solution which was posted here Get screenshot of surfaceView in Android
this thing is explained here Take Screenshot of SurfaceView
The SurfaceView's surface is independent of the surface on which View elements are drawn. So capturing the View contents won't include the SurfaceView.........
I hope this Taking screenshot programmatically doesnt capture the contents of surfaceVIew code can help you out more

How to convert all content in a scrollview to a bitmap?

I use below code to convert, but it seems can only get the content in the display screen and can not get the content not in the display screen.
Is there a way to get all the content even out of scroll?
Bitmap viewBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(mScrollView.getWidth(),mScrollView.getHeight(),Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(viewBitmap);
mScrollView.draw(canvas);

We can convert all the contents of a scrollView to a bitmap image using the code shown below
private void takeScreenShot()
{
View u = ((Activity) mContext).findViewById(R.id.scroll);
HorizontalScrollView z = (HorizontalScrollView) ((Activity) mContext).findViewById(R.id.scroll);
int totalHeight = z.getChildAt(0).getHeight();
int totalWidth = z.getChildAt(0).getWidth();
Bitmap b = getBitmapFromView(u,totalHeight,totalWidth);
//Save bitmap
String extr = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/Folder/";
String fileName = "report.jpg";
File myPath = new File(extr, fileName);
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(myPath);
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(mContext.getContentResolver(), b, "Screen", "screen");
}catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View view, int totalHeight, int totalWidth) {
Bitmap returnedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(totalWidth,totalHeight , Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(returnedBitmap);
Drawable bgDrawable = view.getBackground();
if (bgDrawable != null)
bgDrawable.draw(canvas);
else
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
view.draw(canvas);
return returnedBitmap;
}

The Pops answer is really good, but in some case you could have to create a really big bitmap which could trigger a OutOfMemoryException when you create the bitmap.
So I made a little optimization to be gently with the memory :)
public static Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View view, int totalHeight, int totalWidth) {
int height = Math.min(MAX_HEIGHT, totalHeight);
float percent = height / (float)totalHeight;
Bitmap canvasBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap((int)(totalWidth*percent),(int)(totalHeight*percent), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(canvasBitmap);
Drawable bgDrawable = view.getBackground();
if (bgDrawable != null)
bgDrawable.draw(canvas);
else
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
canvas.save();
canvas.scale(percent, percent);
view.draw(canvas);
canvas.restore();
return canvasBitmap;
}

This one works for me
To save the bitmap check runtime permission first
#OnClick(R.id.donload_arrow)
public void DownloadBitMap()
{
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
{
downloadData();
Log.e("callPhone: ", "permission" );
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 0);
Toast.makeText(this, "need permission", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
To get bitmap
private void downloadData() {
ScrollView iv = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scrollView);
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
iv.getChildAt(0).getWidth()*2,
iv.getChildAt(0).getHeight()*2,
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas c = new Canvas(bitmap);
c.scale(2.0f, 2.0f);
c.drawColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary));
iv.getChildAt(0).draw(c);
// Do whatever you want with your bitmap
saveBitmap(bitmap);
}
To save the bitmap
public void saveBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +
File.separator + "SidduInvoices");
boolean success = true;
if (!folder.exists()) {
success = folder.mkdirs();
}
if (success) {
// Do something on success
} else {
// Do something else on failure
}
File imagePath = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/SidduInvoices/Siddus.png");
if(imagePath.exists())
{
imagePath=new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/SidduInvoices/Siddus"+custamername.getText().toString()+".png");
}
FileOutputStream fos;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(imagePath);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
progressBar.cancel();
final File finalImagePath = imagePath;
new SweetAlertDialog(this, SweetAlertDialog.SUCCESS_TYPE)
.setTitleText("Saved")
.setContentText("Do you want to share this with whatsapp")
.setCancelText("No,cancel !")
.setConfirmText("Yes,share it!")
.showCancelButton(true)
.setConfirmClickListener(new SweetAlertDialog.OnSweetClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(SweetAlertDialog sweetAlertDialog) {
sweetAlertDialog.cancel();
shareImage(finalImagePath);
}
})
.setCancelClickListener(new SweetAlertDialog.OnSweetClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(SweetAlertDialog sDialog) {
sDialog.cancel();
}
})
.show();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("GREC", e.getMessage(), e);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("GREC", e.getMessage(), e);
}
}

You need get the total width and height of the scrollview, or you created viewBitmap is too small to contain the full content of the scrollview.
check this link
Android: Total height of ScrollView

The issue here is that the only actual pixel content that ever exists is that which is visible on the display screen. Android and other mobile platforms are very careful about memory use and one of the ways a scrolling view can maintain performance is to not draw anything that is offscreen. So there is no "full" bitmap anywhere -- the memory containing the content that moves offscreen is recycled.
