Android: how to do automatic image center-crop to a specific size after photo taking

i'm having issue doing image center crop to a specific size after taking a still photo by calling MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE.
Action Image Capture currently stores the image to image directory, how do i crop image automatically according to my pre-set size and save it to the same path and filename?
appreciate if can give some guidance. im new to android
i do have the URI of the image, just wondering if there's any way to center crop, resize to a specific size eg: 456x456 and save the image to the same URI by overwriting.
below is my code under MainActivity:

File.createTempFile() adding random strings to file name

I am facing an issue which I do not understand. I am taking a picture then creating a PNG image file as per code that follows but somewhere down the line a random string is being added to the filename which causes me all sorts of issues. For example (as per tutorials I have found): I create an image called dimage_(generated timestamp) and save the string to shared preferences and the image in getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES). In shared preferences the string is correct but the file has the above mentioned string appended.
Eg:
The generated filename string saved in shared prefs:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<string name="driver_picture">dimage_20190610_065509</string>
</map>
Whereas the file checked with adb results as:
127|generic_x86:/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/africa.mykagovehicledrivers/files/Pictures $ ls
dimage_20190610_0655091215099619.png
generic_x86:/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/africa.mykagovehicledrivers/files /Pictures $
I have no clue where the 1215099619 extra part comes from!
This is the code of the activity:

As per code I am using String imageFileName; to save the path and then use it in the button click action to save it into shared preferences.
Thanks!

Found out the reasin. createTempFile does this. Switched to new File() and this solved the issue.

Problem what I am facing is, after capturing and editing the photo from the app, when I save the image, the photo does not get saved anywhere in the phone but it says 'Saving...'.
But after saving, app automatically exits
Saving photo is working fine when editing photo from Gallery in the phone. Saving issue is only for camera captured photo through this app.
Can anyone please help with the solution?
Thanks in advance

Try this to save Image
/**
* Save Bitmap file
*
* #param finalBitmap bitmap to store
* #param folderName dst folder
* #param fileName dst filename
* #return Absolute path of file.
*/
public static String saveFileInSDCard(Context context, Bitmap finalBitmap, String folderName, String fileName, Bitmap.CompressFormat compressFormat) {

if (file.exists()) {
Log.i("fileUtils", "Exists?? " + file.exists()
+ " && " + file.delete());
Log.i("fileUtils", "Exists?? " + file.exists());
}
//to compress bitmap before save
//Bitmap finalBitmap = BitmapUtils.compressSampleBitmap(bitmap,1024);
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
finalBitmap.compress(compressFormat, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
Log.i(TAG, "Saved: " + file.getAbsolutePath());

MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(context, new String[]{file.getAbsolutePath()},
null,
new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() {

}
public static String makeDirectory(String folderName) {

Camera is giving very big size image on device

In my project, I am capturing image from the camera. I am taking the full-size image from the app (instead of taking thumbnail). Captured image is of very big size which is 7 to 18 mb. When I have taken image from my default camera app, the size was roughly 2.5 mb only. As well as it's taking lot of time(6-10 seconds) to load and save to the folder. This happening only when I am using the android device, on emulator it's working good. This is my code:

Something you could do is download an available API online, or, if need be, dowload the source code of some online compressor. Then you could use it as a model. Never directly use the source code. One that is widely supported across languages is: https://optimus.keycdn.com/support/image-compression-api/

I am taking the image from the camera and getting the File. So, I am saving the image directly in file location which I generated using getOutputMediaFile() method. For that I am overloading saveImage() method like this:
private void saveImage(File mediaImage) {
Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
Uri contentUri = Uri.fromFile(mediaImage);
mediaScanIntent.setData(contentUri);
getContext().sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);
}
This method will put the image in the desired file location and also accessible to the Gallery for other apps. This method is same as galleryAddPic() method on this link Taking Photos Simply
But In the case of picking a photo from the Gallery, I will have to create the File in the desired location and write the bytes of the picked image into that file, so the old saveImage() method will not change.
In onActivityResult method, this is how I used overloaded saveImage() method:
else if (requestCode == CAMERA) {
saveImage(imageFile);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFile.getAbsolutePath());
loadImage.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
Toast.makeText(getContext(), MESSAGE_IMAGE_SAVED, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
imageTextMessage.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}

Problems when loading cameraimages in imageView

When I take a picture, the picture will saved on the SD.(This works very well)
But the picture won´t shows in the imageView. Do you have any idea?

In the manifest I have are the following:
uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false"
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"

Here I have this peace of code that works fine the first function open the camera and take the picture and the second one place the image you took into an image view...
public void takePictu(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_REQUEST);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
if(requestCode == CAMERA_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
photo3 = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
imageView.setImageBitmap(photo3);
imageView.buildDrawingCache();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
photo3.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos); //bm is the bitmap object
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();
encodedImage = android.util.Base64.encodeToString(b, android.util.Base64.DEFAULT);
}
}
