Reduce size of picture before post

I have a function to send a file (picture from camera or gallery) to a WebService.
I would like to reduce the image size of fileUri before post (50% per example).
The file is a gallery or camera image.
This is my postFile function :
public static void postFile(Context context, String url, String fileUri, AsyncHttpResponseHandler responseHandler) {
if (myCookieStore == null)
{
myCookieStore = new PersistentCookieStore(context);
client.setCookieStore(myCookieStore);
}
File myFile = new File(Uri.parse(fileUri).getPath());
RequestParams params = new RequestParams();
try {
params.put("profile_picture", myFile);
} catch(FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.d("error", "error catch");
}
Log.d("absolute url", "" + "*" + getAbsoluteUrl(url) + "*");
client.post(context, getAbsoluteUrl(url), params, responseHandler);
}
How can I do that ?

There is this library, that can compress your images to kb from mb, it is very powerful i have used it alot of times, it works file uploads are superfast. link
Snippet : compressedImageFile = Compressor.getDefault(this).compressToFile(actualImageFile);
It internally uses google webp format, WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Using WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster.
The library is great at size compression, it does a really good job, at large files that was based on my observations, like 2mb up, however there are some memory leaks that you need to address, i solved mine by using leak canary , though every developer should always use it. Overall it is awesome fork it and use as please.

I used this code in many projects and always it gives me good results, i remember if i choose a image having size of 5-7MB(image from 12/13 MP camera) this code returns an image of size 1MB or less than 2MB.
public static boolean validateUri(Uri uri) {
if (uri == null)
return false;
else {
String path = uri.getPath();
return !(uri.equals(Uri.EMPTY) || path == null || path.equals("null"));
}
}
First we need a full image and rotate if needed.
public static Bitmap getFullSizeImage(Context context, Uri uri) {
String filePath;
if (validateUri(uri) && uri.toString().contains("file"))
filePath = uri.getPath();
else
filePath = getRealPathFromURI(context, uri, MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
if (filePath == null)
return null;
try {
int rotation = 0;
ExifInterface exifInterface = new ExifInterface(filePath);
int exifRotation = exifInterface.getAttributeInt(
ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION,
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED);
if (exifRotation != ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED) {
switch (exifRotation) {
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
rotation = 180;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
rotation = 270;
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
rotation = 90;
break;
}
}
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.setRotate(rotation);
// you can use other than 400 as required width/height
Bitmap sourceBitmap = getBitmapFromPath(400, filePath);
if (sourceBitmap == null)
return null;
return Bitmap.createBitmap(sourceBitmap, 0, 0, sourceBitmap.getWidth(),
sourceBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
Now we need a real path from URI
public static String getRealPathFromURI(Context context, Uri contentUri, String type) {
Cursor cursor = null;
String path = null;
try {
// String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
String[] projection = {type};
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri, projection, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null)
return null;
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(type);
cursor.moveToFirst();
path = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
// we choose image from drive etc.
if (path == null)
path = getDocumentRealPathFromUri(context, contentUri);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (cursor != null)
cursor.close();
}
return path;
}
If we choose a picture from drive etc. we still need a real path of given URI
public static String getDocumentRealPathFromUri(Context context, Uri contentUri) {
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri, null,
null, null, null);
if (cursor == null)
return null;
cursor.moveToFirst();
String documentId = cursor.getString(0);
documentId = documentId.substring(documentId.lastIndexOf(":") + 1);
cursor.close();
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
null, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + " = ? ",
new String[]{documentId}, null);
if (cursor == null)
return null;
cursor.moveToFirst();
String path = cursor.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
cursor.close();
return path;
}
Now we've a real path of selected image so we can get a bitmap from this path using sample size
public static Bitmap getBitmapFromPath(int size, String realPathFromURI) {
final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeFile(realPathFromURI, options);
options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSizeUsingPower2(options, size, size);
options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
return BitmapFactory.decodeFile(realPathFromURI, options);
}
public static int calculateInSampleSizeUsingPower2(BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
// raw height and width of image
final int height = options.outHeight;
final int width = options.outWidth;
int inSampleSize = 1;
if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {
final int halfHeight = height / 2;
final int halfWidth = width / 2;
// calculate the largest inSampleSize value that is a power of 2 and keeps both
// height and width larger than the requested height and width.
while ((halfHeight / inSampleSize) > reqHeight
&& (halfWidth / inSampleSize) > reqWidth)
inSampleSize *= 2;
}
return inSampleSize;
}
At this point we've a compressed bitmap, further more we can again compress this bitmap if we perform Base64 operation on a given bitmap.
public static String convertToBase64(Bitmap bitmap) {
if (bitmap == null)
return null;
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
if (bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, byteArrayOutputStream)) {
String base64 = encodeToString(byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray(), DEFAULT);
try {
byteArrayOutputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return base64;
}
return null;
}
On your sever end you can decode Base64 and convert back to file stream and save your image.
Example
Bitmap bitmap = getFullSizeImage(context, selectedPhotoUri);
if(bitmap != null){
String base64Image = convertToBase64(bitmap);
if (base64Image != null) {
RequestParams params = new RequestParams();
try {
params.put("title", "your_image_name");
params.put("profile_picture", base64Image);
} catch(FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.d("error", "error catch");
}
}
}
Note
If you don't want to perform Base64 you can use your bitmap to convert into stream and send it to your server.

Use this one to change image width and height
public Bitmap getResizedBitmap(Bitmap bm, int newHeight, int newWidth) {
int width = bm.getWidth();
int height = bm.getHeight();
float scaleWidth = ((float) newWidth) / width;
float scaleHeight = ((float) newHeight) / height;
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postScale(scaleWidth, scaleHeight);
Bitmap resizedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bm, 0, 0, width, height,
matrix, false);
return resizedBitmap;
}
you can use this one for change the size ...This is the Best Example.....
private Bitmap decodeFile(File f){
try {
//Decode image size
BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f),null,o);
//The new size we want to scale to
final int REQUIRED_SIZE=70;
//Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
int scale=1;
while(o.outWidth/scale/2>=REQUIRED_SIZE && o.outHeight/scale/2>=REQUIRED_SIZE)
scale*=2;
//Decode with inSampleSize
BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o2.inSampleSize=scale;
return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, o2);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {}
return null;
}

Try this function.It will reduce the size of the bitmap to 512 if its width or height is greater than 512
public static Bitmap resizeBitmap(Bitmap bm) {
if (bm.getWidth() > maxSize || bm.getHeight() > maxSize) {
if (bm.getWidth() > bm.getHeight()) {
newWidth = maxSize;
newHeight = (bm.getHeight() * maxSize) / bm.getWidth();
bm = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bm, newHeight, newWidth, true);
return bm;
} else {
newHeight = maxSize;
newWidth = (bm.getWidth() * maxSize) / bm.getHeight();
bm = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bm, newHeight, newWidth, true);
return bm;
}
}
return bm;
}
You just have to pass the bitmap to this method.
The method to get the bitmap from URI is
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 8;
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(fileUri.getPath(),
options);

If the camera image is JPEG, you can use the Bitmap compression method, like:
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(...uri);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
int compression_factor = 50; // represents 50% compression
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, compression_factor, baos);
byte[] image = baos.toByteArray();
// now update web service asynchronously...
...
} finally {
baos.close();
}

Convert the image into bitmap then use below method
public static Bitmap scaleBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int newWidth, int newHeight) {
Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(newWidth, newHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
float scaleX = newWidth / (float) bitmap.getWidth();
float scaleY = newHeight / (float) bitmap.getHeight();
float pivotX = 0;
float pivotY = 0;
Matrix scaleMatrix = new Matrix();
scaleMatrix.setScale(scaleX, scaleY, pivotX, pivotY);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(scaledBitmap);
canvas.setMatrix(scaleMatrix);
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, new Paint(Paint.FILTER_BITMAP_FLAG));
return scaledBitmap;
}

How to see what the orientation is for an image selected from image gallery [duplicate]

In my app, I let the user the chance to get a photo and set it as profile pic. There are 2 ways for getting the photo, from the gallery, and directly taken with the camera.
I have wrote code that works with booth methods, and I have tested on a Galaxy S5 with lollipop 5.0. When testing it with a KitKat 4.4.4, it is throwing a NPE. But is throwing this NPE just when taking the photo directly from the camera.
In booth cases, this is the structure I follow:
Get the Uri from the onActivityResult call data.
Get pic orientation value (in some cases the portrait image appears rotated in the imageview).
Decode the bitmap to downsize it mantaining the aspect ratio.
Rotate the image if it has the wrong orientation.
Save the bitmap in the internal app data.
An this is the code for the "take photo from camera" request:
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
switch (requestCode) {
case TAKE_PHOTO_REQUEST_FRAG:
if (resultCode == getActivity().RESULT_OK && data != null) {
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
Bitmap srcBmp = null;
/*Get image orientation*/
int orientation = getImageOrientation(getActivity(), selectedImageUri);
Log.d("IMAGE_ORIENTATION", String.valueOf(orientation));
/*Downsize bitmap mantaining aspect ratio*/
srcBmp = decodeSampledBitmapFromUri(
selectedImageUri,
pic_view.getWidth(), pic_view.getHeight());
/*Rotate image if needed*/
if (orientation == 90) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
srcBmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(srcBmp, 0, 0,
srcBmp.getWidth(), srcBmp.getHeight(), matrix,
true);
}
else if (orientation == 180) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(180);
srcBmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(srcBmp, 0, 0,
srcBmp.getWidth(), srcBmp.getHeight(), matrix,
true);
}
else if (orientation == 270) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(270);
srcBmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(srcBmp, 0, 0,
srcBmp.getWidth(), srcBmp.getHeight(), matrix,
true);
}
/*Save bitmap in internal memory*/
ContextWrapper cw1 = new ContextWrapper(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
File directory1 = cw1.getDir("profile", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
if (!directory1.exists()) {
directory1.mkdir();
}
File filepath1 = new File(directory1, "profile_pic.png");
FileOutputStream fos1 = null;
try {
fos1 = new FileOutputStream(filepath1);
srcBmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, fos1);
fos1.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("SAVE_FULL_IMAGE", e.getMessage(), e);
}
/*Show image in imageview*/
pic_view.setImageBitmap(srcBmp);
}
break;
}
}

try {
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
return cursor.getInt(0);
} else {
return -1;
}
} finally {
cursor.close();
}
}
It is throwing the NPE in the line where I want to get the image orientation from the exif data, exactly where I get the Path from the uri:
ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(photoUri.getPath());
So I know that it must be something with the path. I have readed several posts about that kitkat returns the path in a diferent format. I have tried diferent custom getPath() methods, but always throws NPE when calling the Cursor.

So I know that it must be something with the path.
That's because it's not a filesystem path. A Uri is not a file, and while you are handling that properly elsewhere, you are not doing so here.
You need to switch to EXIF logic that can handle an InputStream, such as this code culled from the AOSP Mms app.

On many phones, an application has enough RAM for exactly 1 (one) image, loading the 2nd one always results in out-of-memory exception. Even if you can load 2 photos in RAM on your phone, another phone will have a better camera and it will fail. If you want to display large images on the screen, you have to scale them.
And if you want to, say, merge two large images, well, you have a problem. I'd suggest doing this in a separate process (either a command line tool or a service). Note that the application can ask for large heap in the manifest: android:largeHeap=["true" | "false"] (link). But most likely you can just avoid loading two images in RAM.

Android - Capturing an image with the camera and adding an overlay with different aspect ratios

I'm trying to take an image captured from the camera and place a photoframe or overlay over it. The photoframe is basically a png image placed in an ImageView within a FrameLayout that also contains the SurfaceView. The problem is that I must scale either or both of the resulting bitmaps of the view containing the photo image and the photo frame image in order for the overlay to be placed in exactly the correct position over the captured photo image. But since they have different aspect ratios, I'm at a loss to figure out how to do this without either the photo or the overlay from getting distorted. Here is my code that handles the bitmap manipulations. In addition, I sometimes get OutofMemory exceptions due to the huge size of the bitmaps. I tried to use MappedByteBufferbut couldn't get that to work right either... sigh. Anyway, any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong or code samples that show a better way to accomplish this are greatly appreciated!

Rotating an image in Android without OutOfMemoryError or downscaling

Basically I'm trying to rotate a Bitmap (from an image) in an Android App. The reason why I want to do this is that a picture taken from the camera (through an intent) is displayed horizontally even if it's captured vertically, and the orientation is kept as metadata on the image. Correct me if in wrong. The problem is, however, that the image will take up a lot of memory when loaded in, if taken on a phone with a reasonably good camera, and I haven't found a way to rotate and save it without the risk of getting OutOfMemoryError. The code below is where i:
Load in the image
Check if it needs to be rotated
Loads a scaled-down version for display in an ImageView
Rotates the small image if necessary
In a seperate thread; load, rotate and save the image, so it doesn't need to in the future
It is important for the application to keep the images in the resolution, but any tricks with encodings are welcome. I have searched the internet for a few days, unable to find anything more than what i already have implemented. There is another thread on the subject here, but there doesn't seem to be any solutions. Hope you can help.
public Bitmap getBitmap(final Context c) {
if (bitmap != null)
return bitmap;
final int rotate = necessaryRotation(c, file);
// if(rotate != 0) rotateImageFile(c, rotate);
try {
// Get scaled version
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file, options);
options.inSampleSize = calcInSampleSize(options, 1024, 1024);
options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file, options);
// rotate?
bitmap = rotateImage(c,bitmap,rotate);
System.out.println("Bitmap loaded from file: size="
+ bitmap.getWidth() + "," + bitmap.getHeight());
System.gc();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Unable to load image file: "
+ this.getFilename());
}
// if rotation is needed, do it in worker thread for next time
if(rotate != 0){
Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
// load entire image
try{
File imageFile = new File(getFilename());
Bitmap huge = Media.getBitmap(c.getContentResolver(),
Uri.fromFile(imageFile));
huge = rotateImage(c,huge,rotate);
// save bitmap properly
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(imageFile);
huge.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
huge.recycle();
huge = null;
out = null;
System.gc();
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
t.start();
}
return bitmap;
}
private Bitmap rotateImage(Context c, Bitmap bitmap, int rotate) {
if (rotate != 0) {
// rotate
Matrix m = new Matrix();
m.postRotate(rotate);
Bitmap rotImage = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(),
bitmap.getHeight(), m, true);
bitmap.recycle();
System.out.println("Image (id=" + getId()
+ ") rotated successfully");
System.gc();
return rotImage;
}
return bitmap;
}
private int necessaryRotation(Context c, String imageFile) {
int rotate = 0;
ExifInterface exif;
try {
exif = new ExifInterface(imageFile);
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;
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return rotate;
}
private int calcInSampleSize(BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth,
int reqHeight) {
int height = options.outHeight;
int width = options.outWidth;
int inSampleSize = 1;
while (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {
height /= 2;
width /= 2;
inSampleSize *= 2;
}
return inSampleSize;
}
If there is anything you need to know or have any optimizations i might be able to use to reduce memory usage, please write :) Thanks

Try this snippet:
private Bitmap rotateImage(Context c, Bitmap bitmap, int rotate) {
....
// reduce byte per pixel
bitmap = bitmap.copy(Bitmap.Config.RGB_565, false);
Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap,...
}
