Add custom text to image and save android - android

I am trying to write text on an image and then save it to images.
I have tried
first answer of
Add text to image in android programmatically
and
first answer of
Generate a image with custom text in Android
I also tried adding text to relative layout, but I could not get it working.
using first two answer I was able to save image to gallery, but the saved images are blurred(no clear).
is there any other technique to save image? or can I improve anything?

Quality of bitmap(image) is maintained specially with this:
public boolean compress (Bitmap.CompressFormat format, int quality, OutputStream stream)
here :
quality Hint to the compressor, 0-100. 0 meaning compress for small size, 100 meaning compress for max quality. Some formats, like PNG which is lossless, will ignore the quality setting

How to compress GIF image before uploading to server in android?

how to compress GIF image before upload it to the server ?, i tried some android libraries to compress gif image but it convert it to png image. is there any way to compress gif image ?
im using a bitmap in my projects.
Bitmap
Example code:
ImageView carView = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.imagen_cr7);
byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(picture, Base64.NO_WRAP);
InputStream input=new ByteArrayInputStream(decodedString);
Bitmap ext_pic = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
carView.setImageBitmap(ext_pic);
GIF is a lossless image compression format: it is set up to reproduce the image exactly.
As a consequence, there is no "image quality" slider (as in JPEG encoders); although a GIF will likely be much smaller than an uncompressed format (such as many camera RAW or common TIFF options), there is a limit to how far it can go.
Also, you should know that GIF is limited to 8 bits per pixel (so it is most appropriate for line art, not photo-like images). If your source image is a full 24 bits, it must be dithered to fit into a 256-entry color palette. So, although the GIF format itself is lossless, the image processing required to use it in the first place may be lossy.
There are a number of things you can do to reduce the size of your image file:
You can choose a lossy format (such as JPEG), which will allow much greater compression. Note that JPEG works well on photo-like images, but not so well on line art. Also, (although your question explicitly rejects it) PNG may be a reasonable option, as it (losslessly) supports 24-bpp images.
As mentioned in a comment, you can try reducing the resolution of your image, and shipping the reduced version. If you can't generate a smaller image to start with, image resizing typically works well on photo-like images, and there are nonlinear resizing filters available that are specifically intended to handle line art.
If a full-resolution GIF is mandatory for your application, you may be able to generate an image that is more compressible by the GIF format. GIF compresses solid blocks of color extremely well -- but does less well on dithered or noisy images (such as you might get from converting a 24-bpp image to GIF format).
Since you have not given any information on your requirements (what kind of image you have, where you got it, and what you need it for), it is hard to come up with specific advice.
However, there is a good chance that your GIF has far more resolution than you need for your particular application (leading to option #2).

Saving Bitmap Image without shrinking width and height

What im trying to do is to save an edited bitmap that is composed by 2 bitmaps overlayed. My application allows the user to draw on top of a picture and save it.
My problem is: when i save the result image, it gets smaller, even setting the quality to 100. So, if the user saves and edit the image multiple times, the image will get smaller and smaller.
I save the bitmap with this:
result.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
I debugged the code, and at this point the width and height are fine, but after saving, the image shrinks.
I've researched for questions about this, but the ones i've found had no answers that could help me.
What i need is a way to save a bitmap without shrinking it, but i need it to be in image format, like JPG, PNG, etc.
Thanks in advance.
I guess is not at the time when you are saving the image, the issue is when you are editing the image (creating layers). Check that mechanism, maybe you are setting the image size there.

How to reduce the size(bits) of an image in android

Well, i am trying to reduce the size(bits) of an image, which will be taken using camera. I have already reduced it by reducing its height and width. But a lot of questions came infront.
IIsnt it possible that within same height & width- an image can contain more/less resolutions. I mean- cant resolution vary within images which have same height & width?
Is there other properties of image/color, which we can change and make the total image size(bits) become less?
Any other solutions? :-)
Use Bitmap to compress your image.
This can be done by calling;
Bitmap bm=//intialize your image here
FileOutputStream fos=//intialize your OutputStream here
bm.compress(Bitmap.JPEG, 50, fos)// the Number stands for the quality of the image, the format of the image can be changed if you want to
For further information see the Android API here.

how to edit big images in android?

I am trying to save small images from the original which I load from SDcard. Android doesn't allow me to create bitmap of bigger image sizes so I had to use options, doing so my images' resolution is altered so now how i am supposed to edit the original image??
And saving images, do I have the bitmap.compress option alone? If so, this reduces the quality of the image when i open and save it in JPG
And how can I display them independent of the screen???
I found a way to display big image in Android by using BitmapRegionDecoder. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/BitmapRegionDecoder.html

Access to separate pixel of JPEG image in Android

In my android project I need to get access for each separate pixel of JPEG image. Image created by built-in photo application. I try to convert JPEG into Bitmap class instance, but OutOfMemoryException was thrown. After searching info about this problem I have found the following solution: resize image! But quality of image is important in my project, and i can't resize it. Is there any way to get each-pixel access?
if your image is too big and the quality is important i suppose the best way is to use or create your own class to cut the image in zone (eg : 50*50 px) , there is several jpeg info class in the internet to help you understand how work jpeg files.
Have you tried BufferedImage ? (it's not in the sdk but maybe usable)
The nature of jpeg makes it very hard to get the value of a single pixel. The main reason is that the data is not byte aligned, another is that everything is encoded in blocks that can be of sizes 8x16, 16x8 and 8x8. Also, you need to handle subsampling of chroma values.
If the image contains restart markers, maybe you can skip into the image so you don't have to decode the whole image before getting the pixel value.
