how to set camera Image orientation?

In my application I have added feature of image uploading,It works fine with all the Images except camera image,whenever I browse camera image from gallery and portrait image rotate in 90 degree..following is my snippet code..can anyone help me?I followed so many tutorials but all of them work well in kikat..but when same tutorial does not work with ics,jellybean etc..
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private Button browse;
private String selectedImagePath="";
private ImageView img;
private TextView messageText;
private static int SELECT_PICTURE = 1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imagevw);
browse=(Button)findViewById(R.id.browseimg);
messageText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.messageText);
browse.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
}
});
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
/*String filePath = getRealPathFromURI(getActivity(), selectedImageUri );
messageText.setText(filePath );
Picasso.with(getActivity())
.load(new File(filePath ))
.centerCrop()
.resize(60, 60).into( img);*/
selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
messageText.setText(selectedImagePath);
System.out.println(requestCode);
System.out.println("Image Path : " + selectedImagePath);
img.setImageURI(selectedImageUri);
}
}
}
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
}

just include this code
public void rotateImage(String file) throws IOException{
BitmapFactory.Options bounds = new BitmapFactory.Options();
bounds.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file, bounds);
BitmapFactory.Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options();
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file, opts);
int rotationAngle = getCameraPhotoOrientation(getActivity(), Uri.fromFile(file1), file1.toString());
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(rotationAngle, (float) bm.getWidth() / 2, (float) bm.getHeight() / 2);
Bitmap rotatedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bm, 0, 0, bounds.outWidth, bounds.outHeight, matrix, true);
FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream(file);
rotatedBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
}
public static int getCameraPhotoOrientation(Context context, Uri imageUri, String imagePath){
int rotate = 0;
try {
context.getContentResolver().notifyChange(imageUri, null);
File imageFile = new File(imagePath);
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(imageFile.getAbsolutePath());
int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(
ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION,
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED);
switch (orientation) {
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL:
rotate = 0;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
rotate = 270;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
rotate = 180;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
rotate = 90;
break;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return rotate;
}

There are several methods, but the simplest I found is by using Picasso library. As this is an uploading case, we will get the orientation correct and also can make adjustment in image bitmap size.

String filePath = getRealPathFromURI(getActivity(), selectedImageUri );
messageText.setText(filePath );
Picasso.with(getActivity())
.load(new File(filePath ))
.centerCrop()
.resize(60, 60).into( img);

I solved the image rotation problem with following code
public Bitmap rotateImageIfRequired(String imagePath) {
int degrees = 0;
try {
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(imagePath);
int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(
ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION,
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);
switch (orientation) {
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
degrees = 90;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
degrees = 180;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
degrees = 270;
break;
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("ImageError", "Error in reading Exif data of " + imagePath, e);
}
BitmapFactory.Options decodeBounds = new BitmapFactory.Options();
decodeBounds.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagePath, decodeBounds);
int numPixels = decodeBounds.outWidth * decodeBounds.outHeight;
int maxPixels = 2048 * 1536; // requires 12 MB heap
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = (numPixels > maxPixels) ? 2 : 1;
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagePath, options);
if (bitmap == null) {
return null;
}
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.setRotate(degrees);
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(),
bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
return bitmap;
}

Image rotate 90 degree using camera intent

Hello I am working on one android app where I need to capture the image using camera intent and set the bitmap in the imageview but here bitmap is rotated by 90 degree. I have checked many threads of stackoverflow like Photo rotate 90 degree while capture in some phones but did not work for me.
Here when I am executing this exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1); then it is returning 0 ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED and in my getImage function no condition is satisfying.
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(
android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
capturedPhotoName = System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png";
File photo = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
capturedPhotoName);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photo));
imageUri = Uri.fromFile(photo);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_INTENT_REQUEST);
onActivityResult
Uri selectedImage = imageUri;
getContentResolver().notifyChange(selectedImage, null);
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Bitmap bitmap;
try {
bitmap = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(cr,
selectedImage);
bitmap = Util.getImage(bitmap, selectedImage.toString());
mPictureImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("New Issue Activity", e.toString());
}
/**

if ((orientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180)) {
m.postRotate(180);
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(),

return bitmap;
} else if (orientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90) {
m.postRotate(90);

return bitmap;
} else if (orientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270) {

I implemented one photo take activity which you can take the photo and set the orientation of the photo. It is supported by every device I tested including Samsung galaxy series, tablets, sony xperia series, tablets.
You can check out my accepted answer about rotation of images on this topic:
Camera capture orientation on samsung devices in android
If you also need to save and use that image that you have rotated, saving and using the photo functions additional to my answer I gave above:
savePhoto function:
public void savePhoto(Bitmap bmp) {

cc.getDirectoryName());
imageFileFolder.mkdir();

String date = fromInt(c.get(Calendar.MONTH))
+ fromInt(c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH))
+ fromInt(c.get(Calendar.YEAR))
+ fromInt(c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY))
+ fromInt(c.get(Calendar.MINUTE))
+ fromInt(c.get(Calendar.SECOND));
imageFileName = new File(imageFileFolder, date.toString() + ".jpg");
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(imageFileName);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
scanPhoto(imageFileName.toString());
out = null;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
scanPhoto function:
public void scanPhoto(final String imageFileName) {
geniusPath = imageFileName;
msConn = new MediaScannerConnection(MyClass.this,
new MediaScannerConnectionClient() {
public void onMediaScannerConnected() {
msConn.scanFile(imageFileName, null);
}
#Override
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {

}
});
msConn.connect();
}

Android image selected from gallery Orientation is always 0 : Exif TAG

When I pick an image from gallery to set it on my imageview in android application then I see that it comes inverted by 180 or 270 or 90 degress. So to check/solve this I used EXIF orientations, but it always gives me "0".
I am not able to get what is the problem.
code:
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
absolutePath = selectedImageUri.getPath();
exifMedia = new ExifInterface(absolutePath);
String exifOrint = exifMedia.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION);
exifOrientation = Integer.parseInt(exifOrint);
System.out.println("Orientation Tag is:"+exifOrientation);
/** Convert URI into byte */
ContentResolver cr = getBaseContext()
.getContentResolver();
InputStream inputStream = cr
.openInputStream(selectedImageUri);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
rotatedBMP = getResizedBitmapImage(
bitmap, 100, 100,exifOrientation);
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
rotatedBMP.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100,
stream);
byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
mimProfileImageBrowse.setImageBitmap(rotatedBMP);
method:
public Bitmap getResizedBitmapImage(Bitmap bm, int newHeight, int newWidth, int exifOrientation) {
int width = bm.getWidth();
int height = bm.getHeight();
float scaleWidth = ((float) newWidth) / width;
float scaleHeight = ((float) newHeight) / height;

switch (exifOrientation) {
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
rotate = 270;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:

break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:

}
Please help. Also matrix.postROTATE is not rotating the bitmaps. I dont know why.
Thanks

After you get Uri of selected Image call the below functions using this methods,
Like this,
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
Bitmap bitmap = scaleImage(this,selectedImageUri);
The two functions to include in your activity are,
public static Bitmap scaleImage(Context context, Uri photoUri) throws IOException {
InputStream is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(photoUri);
BitmapFactory.Options dbo = new BitmapFactory.Options();
dbo.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, dbo);
is.close();
int rotatedWidth, rotatedHeight;
int orientation = getOrientation(context, photoUri);
if (orientation == 90 || orientation == 270) {
rotatedWidth = dbo.outHeight;
rotatedHeight = dbo.outWidth;
} else {
rotatedWidth = dbo.outWidth;
rotatedHeight = dbo.outHeight;
}
Bitmap srcBitmap;
is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(photoUri);
if (rotatedWidth > MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION || rotatedHeight > MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION) {
float widthRatio = ((float) rotatedWidth) / ((float) MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION);
float heightRatio = ((float) rotatedHeight) / ((float) MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION);
float maxRatio = Math.max(widthRatio, heightRatio);
// Create the bitmap from file
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = (int) maxRatio;
srcBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, options);
} else {
srcBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
}
is.close();
/*
* if the orientation is not 0 (or -1, which means we don't know), we
* have to do a rotation.
*/
if (orientation > 0) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(orientation);
srcBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(srcBitmap, 0, 0, srcBitmap.getWidth(),
srcBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}
String type = context.getContentResolver().getType(photoUri);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
if (type.equals("image/png")) {
srcBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, baos);
} else if (type.equals("image/jpg") || type.equals("image/jpeg")) {
srcBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
}
byte[] bMapArray = baos.toByteArray();
baos.close();
return BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bMapArray, 0, bMapArray.length);
}
public static int getOrientation(Context context, Uri photoUri) {
/* it's on the external media. */
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(photoUri,
new String[] { MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.ORIENTATION }, null, null, null);
if (cursor.getCount() != 1) {
return -1;
}
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getInt(0);
}
To get Uri from File use this :
public static Uri getImageContentUri(Context context, File imageFile) {
String filePath = imageFile.getAbsolutePath();
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
new String[] { MediaStore.Images.Media._ID },
MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA + "=? ",
new String[] { filePath }, null);
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
int id = cursor.getInt(cursor
.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.MediaColumns._ID));
Uri baseUri = Uri.parse("content://media/external/images/media");
return Uri.withAppendedPath(baseUri, "" + id);
} else {
if (imageFile.exists()) {
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, filePath);
return context.getContentResolver().insert(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
} else {
return null;
}
}
}
Q. Can you plz tell me what is "MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION"? – Dhrupal Mar 13 '13
A. its based on your imageview size or the image size what you want to show.. whatever it is 60X60 then 60, 100X100 then 100 #Dhrupal

it has been long time since questioning. but i countered with same problem, and solved this. when you put file path into contructor of exifInterface, use real path, like "/storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/blahbalh.jpg", not using something like /content:/media/external/images/media/blah, whiich gives always 0 info.
hope somebody will be helped. regrads.
Oops. below one is same approach. and here is more.
use this.
/**
* #ref http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3401579/get-filename-and-path-from-uri-from-mediastore
* #param contentUri
* #return
*/
public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}

I guess you should not use "selectedImageUri.getPath()" to get the path since it does not really return the image file path. Instead you should use ContentResolver to query the value of MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA which is the actual path of the image.
Actually if you only want to get the orientation, you don't have to get that from the Exif, simply query the value of MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.ORIENTATION can give you that.

try below code :-
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(filename);
int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED);
Bitmap bmRotated = rotateBitmap(bitmap, orientation);
call below method:-
public static Bitmap rotateBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int orientation) {
try{
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
switch (orientation) {
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL:
return bitmap;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_FLIP_HORIZONTAL:
matrix.setScale(-1, 1);
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
matrix.setRotate(180);
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_FLIP_VERTICAL:
matrix.setRotate(180);
matrix.postScale(-1, 1);
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_TRANSPOSE:
matrix.setRotate(90);
matrix.postScale(-1, 1);
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
matrix.setRotate(90);
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_TRANSVERSE:
matrix.setRotate(-90);
matrix.postScale(-1, 1);
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
matrix.setRotate(-90);
break;
default:
return bitmap;
}
try {
Bitmap bmRotated = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
bitmap.recycle();
return bmRotated;
}
catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
return bitmap;
}

You should use getRealPathFromURI function:
public static String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri uri,
String data) {
String[] largeFileProjection = { MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns._ID,
MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA };
String largeFileSort = MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns._ID + " DESC";
Cursor myCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
largeFileProjection, null, null, largeFileSort);
String largeImagePath = "";
try {
myCursor.moveToFirst();
largeImagePath = myCursor
.getString(myCursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA));
} finally {
myCursor.close();
}
return largeImagePath;
}

I couldn't get either the cursor or Exif interface method to work for me. I wasn't able to get reliable rotation numbers for both front and back cameras on Samsung.
For those looking for a solution which works across both front and back cameras for Samsung and other major manufacturers, this answer by nvhausid is awesome:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/18915443/6080472
For those who don't want to click through, the relevant magic is to use the CameraInfo rather then relying on EXIF.
Bitmap realImage = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo info = new android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo();
android.hardware.Camera.getCameraInfo(mCurrentCameraId, info);
Bitmap bitmap = rotate(realImage, info.orientation);
Full code in the link.

When image is captured, it stores an exif data as information about rotation type (portrait - landscape). So the only thing you need to check is the exif data:
ExifInterface exifData = new ExifInterface(uri);
int orientation = exifData.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1);
Matrix matrix;
switch (orientation) {
case 6:
matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
break;
case 3:
matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(180);
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
break;
case 8:
matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(270);
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
break;
default:
break;

Have you already checked if you had set Write and Read permissions in your manifest? because if you did not set them you cant access to exif data of your bitmap, i'm talking about android M.
This is the snippet to rotate a bitmap based on its exif dada.
public static Bitmap rotateBitmap(String filePath, Bitmap bitmap) {
ExifInterface exif;
try {
exif = new ExifInterface(filePath);
int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(
ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);
Log.d("EXIF", "Exif: " + orientation);
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
if (orientation == 6) {
matrix.postRotate(90);
Log.d("EXIF", "Exif: " + orientation);
} else if (orientation == 3) {
matrix.postRotate(180);
Log.d("EXIF", "Exif: " + orientation);
} else if (orientation == 8) {
matrix.postRotate(270);
Log.d("EXIF", "Exif: " + orientation);
}
return Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}

Android : How to detect the image orientation (portrait or landscape) picked from gallery while setting on an imageview?

I am setting an image on the imageview picked from the gallery(camera album). If the picked image has landscape orientation, it displays perfectly but if the image in in portrait mode(i.e the image was clicked in portrait mode) it is displaying the image with a 90 degree rotation. Now I am trying to find out the orientation just before setting on imageview, but all the images are giving same orientation and same width-height. Here is my code :
Uri selectedImage = intent.getData();
if (selectedImage != null) {
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), selectedImage);
int str = new ExifInterface(selectedImage.getPath()).getAttributeInt("Orientation", 1000);
Toast.makeText(this, "value:" + str, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Toast.makeText(this, "width:" + bitmap.getWidth() + "height:" + bitmap.getHeight(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Use ExifInterface for rotate image. Use this method for get correct value to be rotate captured image from camera.
public int getCameraPhotoOrientation(Context context, Uri imageUri, String imagePath){
int rotate = 0;
try {
context.getContentResolver().notifyChange(imageUri, null);
File imageFile = new File(imagePath);
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(imageFile.getAbsolutePath());
int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);
switch (orientation) {
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
rotate = 270;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
rotate = 180;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
rotate = 90;
break;
}
Log.i("RotateImage", "Exif orientation: " + orientation);
Log.i("RotateImage", "Rotate value: " + rotate);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return rotate;
}
And put this code in Activity result method and get value to rotate image...
String selectedImage = data.getData();
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
int rotateImage = getCameraPhotoOrientation(MyActivity.this, selectedImage, filePath);
Hope this helps..

This is also working for me:
String[] orientationColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.ORIENTATION};
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(imageUri, orientationColumn, null, null, null);
int orientation = -1;
if (cur != null && cur.moveToFirst()) {
orientation = cur.getInt(cur.getColumnIndex(orientationColumn[0]));
}
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(orientation);

if(bm.getWidth() > bm.getHeight())
{
Bitmap bMapRotate=null;
Matrix mat=new Matrix();
mat.postRotate(90);
bMapRotate = Bitmap.createBitmap(bm, 0, 0,bm.getWidth(),bm.getHeight(), mat, true);
bm.recycle();
bm=null;
imageDisplayView.setImageBitmap(bMapRotate);
}else
imageDisplayView.setImageBitmap(bm);

Here is a great solution I came across for this: >https://stackoverflow.com/a/34241250/8033090
One line solution:
Picasso.with(context).load("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView);
or
Picasso.with(context).load("file:" + photoPath).into(imageView);
This will autodetect rotation and place image in correct orientation
Picasso is a very powerful library for handling images in your app includes: Complex image transformations with minimal memory use. It can take a second to load but I just put some text behind the image view that says "Loading image" and when the image loads it covers the text.

Using kotlin and considering the change in uri and in exif in new android versions:
var exif: ExifInterface? = null;
try {
when (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT) {
in Int.MIN_VALUE..24 -> exif = ExifInterface(imageUri.path)
else -> exif = ExifInterface(getContentResolver().openInputStream(data.extras.get("data")))
}
} catch (e: IOException) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
val orientation = exif?.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL)
bmp = rotateBitmap(bmp, orientation ?: ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL)
And the rotateBitmap function is:
un rotateBitmap(bitmap: Bitmap, orientation: Int): Bitmap {
val matrix = Matrix()
when (orientation) {
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL -> return bitmap
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_FLIP_HORIZONTAL -> matrix.setScale(-1f, 1f)
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180 -> matrix.setRotate(180f)
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_FLIP_VERTICAL -> {
matrix.setRotate(180f)
matrix.postScale(-1f, 1f)
}
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_TRANSPOSE -> {
matrix.setRotate(90f)
matrix.postScale(-1f, 1f)
}
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90 -> matrix.setRotate(90f)
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_TRANSVERSE -> {
matrix.setRotate(-90f)
matrix.postScale(-1f, 1f)
}
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270 -> matrix.setRotate(-90f)
else -> return bitmap
}
try {
val bmRotated = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.width, bitmap.height, matrix, true)
bitmap.recycle()
return bmRotated
} catch (e: OutOfMemoryError) {
e.printStackTrace()
return null
}
}

Using the EXIF information is not reliable on some android devices. (ExifInterface orientation return always 0)
This is working for me:
Rotate bitmap
public static Bitmap rotateBitmap(Context context, Uri photoUri, Bitmap bitmap)
{
int orientation = getOrientation(context, photoUri);
if (orientation <= 0) {
return bitmap;
}
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(orientation);
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, false);
return bitmap;
}
Get orientation from MediaStore
private static int getOrientation(Context context, Uri photoUri)
{
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(photoUri,
new String[]{MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.ORIENTATION}, null, null, null);
if (cursor.getCount() != 1) {
cursor.close();
return -1;
}
cursor.moveToFirst();
int orientation = cursor.getInt(0);
cursor.close();
cursor = null;
return orientation;
}

Another solution is to use the ExifInterface from support library:
ExifInterface from support library

This work for me :
private String getOrientation(Uri uri){
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
String orientation = "landscape";
try{
String image = new File(uri.getPath()).getAbsolutePath();
BitmapFactory.decodeFile(image, options);
int imageHeight = options.outHeight;
int imageWidth = options.outWidth;
if (imageHeight > imageWidth){
orientation = "portrait";
}
}catch (Exception e){
//Do nothing
}
return orientation;
}

Android: Bitmaps loaded from gallery are rotated in ImageView

When I load an image from the media gallery into a Bitmap, everything is working fine, except that pictures that were shot with the camera while holding the phone vertically, are rotated so that I always get a horizontal picture even though it appears vertical in the gallery.
Why is that and how can I load it correctly?

So, as an example...
First you need to create an ExifInterface:
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(filename);
You can then grab the orientation of the image:
orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1);
Here's what the orientation values mean:
http://sylvana.net/jpegcrop/exif_orientation.html
So, the most important values are 3, 6 and 8.
If the orientation is ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90 (which is 6), for example, you can rotate the image like this:
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
rotatedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(sourceBitmap, 0, 0, sourceBitmap.getWidth(), sourceBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
That's just a quick example, though. I'm sure there are other ways of performing the actual rotation. But you will find those on StackOverflow as well.

Solved it in my case with this code using help of this post:
Bitmap myBitmap = getBitmap(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());
try {
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());
int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1);
Log.d("EXIF", "Exif: " + orientation);
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
if (orientation == 6) {
matrix.postRotate(90);
}
else if (orientation == 3) {
matrix.postRotate(180);
}
else if (orientation == 8) {
matrix.postRotate(270);
}
myBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(myBitmap, 0, 0, myBitmap.getWidth(), myBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true); // rotating bitmap
}
catch (Exception e) {
}
ImageView img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imgTakingPic);
img.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
Hope it saves someone's time!

This is a full solution (found in the Hackbook example from the Facebook SDK). It has the advantage of not needing access to the file itself. This is extremely useful if you are loading an image from the content resolver thingy (e.g. if your app is responding to a share-photo intent).
public static int getOrientation(Context context, Uri photoUri) {
/* it's on the external media. */
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(photoUri,
new String[] { MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.ORIENTATION }, null, null, null);
if (cursor.getCount() != 1) {
return -1;
}
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getInt(0);
}
And then you can get a rotated Bitmap as follows. This code also scales down the image (badly unfortunately) to MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION. Otherwise you may run out of memory.
public static Bitmap getCorrectlyOrientedImage(Context context, Uri photoUri) throws IOException {
InputStream is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(photoUri);
BitmapFactory.Options dbo = new BitmapFactory.Options();
dbo.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, dbo);
is.close();
int rotatedWidth, rotatedHeight;
int orientation = getOrientation(context, photoUri);
if (orientation == 90 || orientation == 270) {
rotatedWidth = dbo.outHeight;
rotatedHeight = dbo.outWidth;
} else {
rotatedWidth = dbo.outWidth;
rotatedHeight = dbo.outHeight;
}
Bitmap srcBitmap;
is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(photoUri);
if (rotatedWidth > MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION || rotatedHeight > MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION) {
float widthRatio = ((float) rotatedWidth) / ((float) MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION);
float heightRatio = ((float) rotatedHeight) / ((float) MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION);
float maxRatio = Math.max(widthRatio, heightRatio);
// Create the bitmap from file
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = (int) maxRatio;
srcBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, options);
} else {
srcBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
}
is.close();
/*
* if the orientation is not 0 (or -1, which means we don't know), we
* have to do a rotation.
*/
if (orientation > 0) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(orientation);
srcBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(srcBitmap, 0, 0, srcBitmap.getWidth(),
srcBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}
return srcBitmap;
}

Use a Utility to do the Heavy Lifting.
9re created a simple utility to handle the heavy lifting of dealing with EXIF data and rotating images to their correct orientation.
You can find the utility code here: https://gist.github.com/9re/1990019
Simply download this, add it to your project's src directory and use ExifUtil.rotateBitmap() to get the correct orientation, like so:
String imagePath = photoFile.getAbsolutePath(); // photoFile is a File class.
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagePath);
Bitmap orientedBitmap = ExifUtil.rotateBitmap(imagePath, myBitmap);

Have you looked at the EXIF data of the images? It may know the orientation of the camera when the picture was taken.

Kotlin code:
if (file.exists()){
val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.absolutePath)
val exif = ExifInterface(file.absoluteFile.toString())
val orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL)
val matrix = Matrix()
when(orientation){
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90 -> matrix.postRotate(90F)
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180 -> matrix.postRotate(180F)
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270 -> matrix.postRotate(270F)
}
val rotatedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0,0 , bitmap.width, bitmap.height, matrix, true)
bitmap.recycle()
iv_capture.setImageBitmap(rotatedBitmap)
}

its because gallery correct displaying rotated images but not ImageView
look at here:
myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath(),optionss);
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(selectedImagePath);
int rotation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);
int rotationInDegrees = exifToDegrees(rotation);
deg = rotationInDegrees;
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
if (rotation != 0f) {
matrix.preRotate(rotationInDegrees);
myBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(myBitmap, 0, 0, myBitmap.getWidth(), myBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}
and you need this:
private static int exifToDegrees(int exifOrientation) {
if (exifOrientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90) { return 90; }
else if (exifOrientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180) { return 180; }
else if (exifOrientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270) { return 270; }
return 0;
}

Got it to work after many attempts thanks to a post I can no longer find :-(
Exif seems to work always, the difficulty was to get the filepath. The code I found makes a different between API older than 4.4 and after 4.4. Basically the picture URI for 4.4+ contains "com.android.providers". For this type of URI, the code uses DocumentsContract to get the picture id and then runs a query using the ContentResolver, while for older SDK, the code goes straight to query the URI with the ContentResolver.
Here is the code (sorry I cannot credit who posted it):
/**
* Handles pre V19 uri's
* #param context
* #param contentUri
* #return
*/
public static String getPathForPreV19(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
String res = null;
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
if(cursor.moveToFirst()){;
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
res = cursor.getString(column_index);
}
cursor.close();
return res;
}
/**
* Handles V19 and up uri's
* #param context
* #param contentUri
* #return path
*/
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
public static String getPathForV19AndUp(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
String wholeID = DocumentsContract.getDocumentId(contentUri);
// Split at colon, use second item in the array
String id = wholeID.split(":")[1];
String[] column = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
// where id is equal to
String sel = MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + "=?";
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().
query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
column, sel, new String[]{ id }, null);
String filePath = "";
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(column[0]);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
}
cursor.close();
return filePath;
}
public static String getRealPathFromURI(Context context,
Uri contentUri) {
String uriString = String.valueOf(contentUri);
boolean goForKitKat= uriString.contains("com.android.providers");
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT && goForKitKat) {
Log.i("KIKAT","YES");
return getPathForV19AndUp(context, contentUri);
} else {
return getPathForPreV19(context, contentUri);
}
}

You can just read the path from sd card and do the following code...it'll Replace the existing photo after rotating it..
Not: Exif doesnt work on most of the devices, it gives the wrong data so it's good to hard code the rotating before saving to any degree you want to,You just have to change the angle value in postRotate to any you want to.
String photopath = tempphoto.getPath().toString();
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(photopath);
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(bmp, 0, 0, bmp.getWidth(), bmp.getHeight(), matrix, true);
FileOutputStream fOut;
try {
fOut = new FileOutputStream(tempphoto);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 85, fOut);
fOut.flush();
fOut.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

I improved upon the answer by Teo Inke. It no longer rotates the image unless it is actually necessary. It is also easier to read, and should run faster.
// Load Image
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
// Rotate Image if Needed
try
{
// Determine Orientation
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(filePath);
int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1);
// Determine Rotation
int rotation = 0;
if (orientation == 6) rotation = 90;
else if (orientation == 3) rotation = 180;
else if (orientation == 8) rotation = 270;
// Rotate Image if Necessary
if (rotation != 0)
{
// Create Matrix
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(rotation);
// Rotate Bitmap
Bitmap rotated = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
// Pretend none of this ever happened!
bitmap.recycle();
bitmap = rotated;
rotated = null;
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// TODO: Log Error Messages Here
}
// TODO: Use Result Here
xxx.setBitmap(bitmap);

The first thing you need is the real File path
If you have it great, if you are using URI then use this method to
get the real Path:
public static String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentURI,Context context) {
String path= contentURI.getPath();
try {
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentURI, null, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String document_id = cursor.getString(0);
document_id = document_id.substring(document_id.lastIndexOf(":") + 1);
cursor.close();
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
null, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + " = ? ", new String[]{document_id}, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
path = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
cursor.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
return path;
}
return path;
}
extract your Bitmap for example:
try {
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), selectedImage);
}
catch (IOException e)
{
Log.e("IOException",e.toString());
}
you can use decodeFile() instead if you wish.
Now that you have the Bitmap and the real Path get the Orientation of the Image:
private static int getExifOrientation(String src) throws IOException {
int orientation = 1;
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(src);
String orientationString=exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION);
try {
orientation = Integer.parseInt(orientationString);
}
catch(NumberFormatException e){}
return orientation;
}
and finally rotate it to the right position like so:
public static Bitmap rotateBitmap(String src, Bitmap bitmap) {
try {
int orientation = getExifOrientation(src);
if (orientation == 1) {
return bitmap;
}
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
switch (orientation) {
case 2:
matrix.setScale(-1, 1);
break;
case 3:
matrix.setRotate(180);
break;
case 4:
matrix.setRotate(180);
matrix.postScale(-1, 1);
break;
case 5:
matrix.setRotate(90);
matrix.postScale(-1, 1);
break;
case 6:
matrix.setRotate(90);
break;
case 7:
matrix.setRotate(-90);
matrix.postScale(-1, 1);
break;
case 8:
matrix.setRotate(-90);
break;
default:
return bitmap;
}
try {
Bitmap oriented = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
bitmap.recycle();
return oriented;
} catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return bitmap;
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bitmap;
}
That's it , you now have the bitmap rotated to the right position.
cheers.

This works, but probably not the best way to do it, but it might help someone.

The cursor should be closed after opening it.
Here is an example.
public static int getOrientation(Context context, Uri selectedImage)
{
int orientation = -1;
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,
new String[] { MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.ORIENTATION }, null, null, null);
if (cursor.getCount() != 1)
return orientation;
cursor.moveToFirst();
orientation = cursor.getInt(0);
cursor.close(); // ADD THIS LINE
return orientation;
}

I have melted #Timmmm answer and #Manuel. If you do this solution, you will not get a Run Out Of Memory Exception.
This method retrieves the image orientation:
private static final int ROTATION_DEGREES = 90;
// This means 512 px
private static final Integer MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION = 512;
public static int getOrientation(Uri photoUri) throws IOException {
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(photoUri.getPath());
int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1);
switch (orientation) {
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
orientation = ROTATION_DEGREES;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
orientation = ROTATION_DEGREES * 2;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
orientation = ROTATION_DEGREES * 3;
break;
default:
// Default case, image is not rotated
orientation = 0;
}
return orientation;
}
Therefore, you would use this method to resize image before load it on memory. In that way, you will not get a Memory Exception.
public static Bitmap getCorrectlyOrientedImage(Context context, Uri photoUri) throws IOException {
InputStream is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(photoUri);

is.close();
// if the orientation is not 0, we have to do a rotation.
if (orientation > 0) {

matrix.postRotate(orientation);
srcBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(srcBitmap, 0, 0, srcBitmap.getWidth(),

}
This works perfectly for me. I hope this helps somebody else

Improving on the solution above by Timmmm to add some extra scaling at the end to ensure that the image fits within the bounds:
public static Bitmap loadBitmap(String path, int orientation, final int targetWidth, final int targetHeight) {
Bitmap bitmap = null;
try {
// First decode with inJustDecodeBounds=true to check dimensions
final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, options);
// Adjust extents
int sourceWidth, sourceHeight;
if (orientation == 90 || orientation == 270) {
sourceWidth = options.outHeight;
sourceHeight = options.outWidth;
} else {
sourceWidth = options.outWidth;
sourceHeight = options.outHeight;
}
// Calculate the maximum required scaling ratio if required and load the bitmap
if (sourceWidth > targetWidth || sourceHeight > targetHeight) {
float widthRatio = (float)sourceWidth / (float)targetWidth;
float heightRatio = (float)sourceHeight / (float)targetHeight;
float maxRatio = Math.max(widthRatio, heightRatio);
options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
options.inSampleSize = (int)maxRatio;
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, options);
} else {
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path);
}
// Rotate the bitmap if required
if (orientation > 0) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(orientation);
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}
// Re-scale the bitmap if necessary
sourceWidth = bitmap.getWidth();
sourceHeight = bitmap.getHeight();
if (sourceWidth != targetWidth || sourceHeight != targetHeight) {
float widthRatio = (float)sourceWidth / (float)targetWidth;
float heightRatio = (float)sourceHeight / (float)targetHeight;
float maxRatio = Math.max(widthRatio, heightRatio);
sourceWidth = (int)((float)sourceWidth / maxRatio);
sourceHeight = (int)((float)sourceHeight / maxRatio);
bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, sourceWidth, sourceHeight, true);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return bitmap;
}

Use the following code to rotate an image correctly:
private Bitmap rotateImage(Bitmap bitmap, String filePath)
{
Bitmap resultBitmap = bitmap;
try
{
ExifInterface exifInterface = new ExifInterface(filePath);
int orientation = exifInterface.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1);
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
if (orientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90)
{
matrix.postRotate(ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90);
}
else if (orientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180)
{
matrix.postRotate(ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180);
}
else if (orientation == ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270)
{
matrix.postRotate(ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270);
}
// Rotate the bitmap
resultBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
Logger.d("Could not rotate the image");
}
return resultBitmap;
}

I solved the problem with the following workaround. Note that I am also scaling the image, which was necessary to avoid OutOfMemoryExceptions.
Beware that this solution will not work properly with portrait images or opside-down images (thank you Timmmm for noting). Timmmm's solution above might be the better choice if that is required and it looks more elegant, too: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8914291/449918
File path = // ... location of your bitmap file
int w = 512; int h = 384; // size that does not lead to OutOfMemoryException on Nexus One
Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path);
// Hack to determine whether the image is rotated
boolean rotated = b.getWidth() > b.getHeight();
Bitmap resultBmp = null;
// If not rotated, just scale it
if (!rotated) {
resultBmp = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, w, h, true);
b.recycle();
b = null;
// If rotated, scale it by switching width and height and then rotated it
} else {
Bitmap scaledBmp = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, h, w, true);
b.recycle();
b = null;
Matrix mat = new Matrix();
mat.postRotate(90);
resultBmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaledBmp, 0, 0, h, w, mat, true);
// Release image resources
scaledBmp.recycle();
scaledBmp = null;
}
// resultBmp now contains the scaled and rotated image
