Get Output Cropped Image URI

I have implemented image cropping in my app using android intent like below:
CropIntent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
I have received the cropped image and displayed on my UI but I want to perform further use cases like upload the cropped image uri. The problem is that no uri is returned in activity.
Here's my crop image intent snippet:
galleryFAB.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Log.d(TAG, "Gallery Btn Clicked");
selectFromGallery();
}
});
private void selectFromGallery() {
galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
galleryIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(galleryIntent, "Choose From"), 2);
}
my code in activity result method:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
InputStream inputStream;
if (requestCode == 2 && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
if (data != null){
cropImageUri = data.getData();
userImage.setImageURI(cropImageUri);
try {
originalBitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), cropImageUri);
inputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(data.getData());
originalBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
Log.d(TAG, "Original bitmap byte count is:\t" + originalBitmap.getByteCount());
resizedBitmap = getResizedBitmap(originalBitmap, 200);
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
resizedBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
Log.d(TAG, "Resized bitmap byte count is:\t" + resizedBitmap.getByteCount());
try {
File file = saveBitmap("avatar_image");
upLoadFile(file);
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
byte[] bytes = stream.toByteArray();
/**
* For Shared Preferences
* **/
encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(bytes, Base64.DEFAULT);
imagePrefs = getSharedPreferences("ImagePrefs", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = imagePrefs.edit();
editor.putString("image_user", encodedImage).commit();
upLoadBytes(bytes);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
cropImage();
}
} else if (requestCode == PERM_CODE){
if (data != null){
//I want to get the cropped image uri here but unable to. Have tried converting the bitmap rcvd here to uri but in activity, ntn is returned. kindly guide me
Bundle bundle = data.getExtras();
originalBitmap = bundle.getParcelable("data");
userImage.setImageBitmap(resizedBitmap);
}
}
}
my crop image function:
private void cropImage() {
try {
CropIntent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
CropIntent.setDataAndType(cropImageUri, "image/*");
CropIntent.putExtra("crop", true);
CropIntent.putExtra("outputX", 200);
CropIntent.putExtra("outputY", 200);
CropIntent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
CropIntent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
CropIntent.putExtra("scale", true);
CropIntent.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(CropIntent, PERM_CODE);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException ex){
}
}
Can anyone say how to get the output uri? Thanks.

If the cropped image is showing in an ImageView, follow this link to save it to device storage, then you can upload the file.

Save image in original form and without compressing

I want to save the image without compressing it and want to save it in it's original form i.e. when image is compressed the image size decreases and image become small. I am using native camera for this purpose. I am working in android studio. I am making an app in which i am using a camera to save image. But the image is compressed and is very small and very lower quality.
Below is my code for saving image
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
final LocationSettingsStates states = LocationSettingsStates.fromIntent(data);
if(requestCode == CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE)
{
if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
{
Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)data.getExtras().get("data");
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
// convert byte array to Bitmap
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(byteArray, 0, byteArray.length);
if(isStoragePermissionGranted())
{
SaveImage(bitmap);
}
}
}else {
switch (requestCode) {
case 1000:
switch (resultCode) {
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
// All required changes were successfully made
getLocation();
break;
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
// The user was asked to change settings, but chose not to
Toast.makeText(this, "Location Service not Enabled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
default:
break;
}
break;
}
}
}
private void SaveImage(Bitmap finalBitmap) {
File storageDir = new File (String.valueOf(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)));
String root = storageDir + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath().toString();
Log.v(LOG_TAG, root);
File myDir = new File(root + "/captured_images");
if (!myDir .exists())
{
myDir .mkdirs();
}
Random generator = new Random();
int n = 1000;
n = generator.nextInt(n);
String fname = "Image-" + n + ".jpg";
File file = new File(myDir,fname);
try {
file.createNewFile();
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(getApplicationContext(), new String[] {file.getPath()} , new String[]{"image/*"}, null);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
finalBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,100,out);
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Update 1
For more understanding i am putting my onClick method
btn_camera.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Check permission for camera
if(ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, CAMERA)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
{
// Check Permissions Now
// Callback onRequestPermissionsResult interceptado na Activity MainActivity
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,
new String[]{CAMERA},
MainActivity.REQUEST_CAMERA);
}
else {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE );
}
}
});
I searched the solution and found that i can use AndroidBitmapUtil
class so i copy and pasted this class into my project i.e. i created a new class. But i don't know how to use it. Although it is described that i can save image by doing new AndroidBmpUtil().save(bmImage, file);. But again i can't match with my code :(
Any help would be highly appreciated

new AndroidBmpUtil().save(source, sdcardBmpPath);

ImageView myImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageviewTest);
myImage.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
}
}
solution number 2
I have used the following code and this works perfectly fine for me.
values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, "New Picture");
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, "From your Camera");
imageUri = getContentResolver().insert(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICTURE_RESULT);
and also
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) {
case PICTURE_RESULT:
if (requestCode == PICTURE_RESULT)
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
try {
thumbnail = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(
getContentResolver(), imageUri);
imgView.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
imageurl = getRealPathFromURI(imageUri);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
and
public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}

For opening camera use
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File f = new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "imagename.jpg");
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(f));
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
and in your onActivityresult method use
if (requestCode == 1) {
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString());
for (File temp : f.listFiles()) {
if (temp.getName().equals("imagename.jpg")) {
f = temp;
break;
}
}
try {
Bitmap bitmap;
BitmapFactory.Options bitmapOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(f.getAbsolutePath(),bitmapOptions);
yourimageview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

How to save captured image without compress

I want to capture image and save it to storage. For storing am using below code
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(this.requestCode == requestCode && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
File root = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "Feedback");
if (!root.exists()) {
root.mkdirs();
}
File file = new File(root, Constants.PROFILE_IMAGE_NAME+".jpeg");
checkFlowIdisPresent(file);
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap)data.getExtras().get("data");
photo = ThumbnailUtils.extractThumbnail(photo, 300, 300);
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
try {
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(file);
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
fo.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
displayPic();
}
}
Now the problem is image quality is lost. So how to save an image without losing its quality.
if am using photoPickerIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri); to save image it doesn't losing its quality but the problem is i wanted to resize the image 300*300.
Please help me out.

User same code for capturing the photo. like -
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, "New Picture");
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, "From your Camera");
selectedImageUri = getActivity().getContentResolver().insert(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, selectedImageUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CAMERA);
// - selectedImageUri is global variable
now onActivityResult
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), selectedImageUri );
after getting the result just resize your image using this method
public static bitmap resizeBitmap(Bitmap bitmap){
int width = 300; // - Dimension in pixels
int height= 300; // - Dimension in pixels
return Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, width, height, false);
}

If you don't want any compression,then use direct bitmap what you are fetching from gallery for camera.Thanks
if(this.requestCode == requestCode && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
File root = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "Feedback");
if (!root.exists()) {
root.mkdirs();
}
File file = new File(root, Constants.PROFILE_IMAGE_NAME+".jpeg");
checkFlowIdisPresent(file);
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap)data.getExtras().get("data");
// use this bitmap as it is
}

Camera Activity not returns path of image

I have task to capture image from camera and send that image to crop Intent. following is the code i have written
for camera capture
Intent captureIntent = new Intent(
MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(captureIntent, CAMERA_CAPTURE);
In on Activity result
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_CAPTURE) {
// get the Uri for the captured image
picUri = data.getData(); // picUri is global string variable
performCrop();
}
}
}
public void performCrop() {
try {
Intent cropIntent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
cropIntent.setDataAndType(picUri, "image/*");
cropIntent.putExtra("crop", "true");
cropIntent.putExtra("aspectX", 3);
cropIntent.putExtra("aspectY", 2);
cropIntent.putExtra("outputX", 256);
cropIntent.putExtra("outputY", 256);
cropIntent.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(cropIntent, CROP_PIC);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
String errorMessage = "Your device doesn't support the crop action";
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), errorMessage,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
}
}
I am getting different behaviours on different devices
In some devices i am getting error "couldn't find item".
In some devices after capturing image activity stuck and doesn't go ahead
I have also tried this
Please tell me the Right way to do this

You can by calling the intent like below:
int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 1;
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File f = new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "temp.jpg");
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(f));
((Activity) context).startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
And in your activity inside OnActivityResult you get the path like this:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE) {
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString());
for (File temp : f.listFiles()) {
if (temp.getName().equals("temp.jpg")) {
f = temp;
break;
}
}
try {
BitmapFactory.Options bitmapOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(f.getAbsolutePath(),
bitmapOptions);
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(-90);
Bitmap rotatedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
rotatedBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, byteArrayOutputStream);
byte[] attachmentBytes = byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray();
String attachmentData = Base64.encodeToString(attachmentBytes, Base64.DEFAULT);
String path = android.os.Environment
.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ File.separator
+ "CTSTemp" + File.separator + "default";
f.delete();
ESLogging.debug("Bytes size = " + attachmentBytes.length);
ESLogging.debug("FilePath = " + path);
OutputStream outFile = null;
File file = new File(path, String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg");
try {
outFile = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 85, outFile);
outFile.flush();
outFile.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
ESLogging.error("FileNotFoundException while uploading new attachment in class HomeActivity", e);
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
ESLogging.error("IOException while uploading new attachment in class HomeActivity", e);
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
ESLogging.error("Exception while uploading new attachment in class HomeActivity", e);
e.printStackTrace();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
ESLogging.error("Exception while uploading new attachment in class HomeActivity", e);
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}

//Declare this in class
private static int RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE = 1;
String picturePath="";
// write in button click event
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
//copy this code in after onCreate()
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK
&& null != data) {
Uri 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]);
picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img); //place imageview in your xml file
imageView.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath));
}
}
write the following permission in manifest file
1.read external storage
2.write external storage

Getting a picture from SD card and Camera

I'm currently having a standard image selection (from the SD card) dialog shown when firing off this intent:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE);
This lists all the applications/activities that can return an image (such as Gallery).
In this same standard list, I also want to include an option that will start the Camera and return an image taken with it. The problem is I can't figure out how to do this in a non-custom way (building my own dialog with a custom layout, application image + title etc).
The Camera activity can be launched like this:
Intent camera = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
URI pictureUri = Uri.fromFile(new File("dummyPath"));
camera.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, pictureUri);
Is there an intent that will allow me to select an image from the SD card or one taken with the Camera?
Update: I have found a solution, will double check and post it here afterwards.

you can have alert dialog to show options.
Source code is given below:
AlertDialog.Builder getImageFrom = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
getImageFrom.setTitle("Select Image");
final CharSequence[] opsChars = {"Take Picture", "Open Gallery"};
getImageFrom.setItems(opsChars, new android.content.DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
if(which == 0){
File file = new File( _path );
outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile( file );
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, 7);
}else
if(which == 1){
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,
"Open Gallery"), 6);
}
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == 6) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
pickerImageView.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
pickerImageView.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
System.gc();
String filepath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
File imagefile = new File(filepath);
try {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(imagefile);
BitmapFactory.Options options=new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inPurgeable=true;
options.inSampleSize =4;
bi= BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis,null,options);
fis.close();
Bitmap bitmapToRecycle = ((BitmapDrawable)pickerImageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
bitmapToRecycle.recycle();
pickerImageView.setImageBitmap(bi);
pickerImageView.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
pickerImageView.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
pickImageTextView.setText("");
}
else if(requestCode == 7){
Log.i("return", "#####");
BitmapFactory.Options options=new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inPurgeable=true;
options.inSampleSize =4;
//Bitmap photo = BitmapFactory.decodeFile( _path, options );
Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
pickerImageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
pickerImageView.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
pickerImageView.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
}
}
}

You can add programmatically your image to gallery like this:
Intent media = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
//mCurrentPhotoPath is the path to image.
File f = new File(mCurrentPhotoPath);
Uri contentUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
media.setData(contentUri);
this.sendBroadcast(media);
