Want to make photo in Android, but it automatically downscales the photo to 160x160px

Hello fellow programmers. My problem: Every time I made a photo, Android automatically scales it down to 160x160px. I don't know why. Here is my code:
Here I set all the preferences for the camera:
public void ChosenPhoto(String extra) {
String gallery = "gallery";
String camera = "camera";
if (extra.equals(gallery)) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra("crop", "true");
intent.putExtra("return-data", true);
intent.putExtra("aspectX", 560);
intent.putExtra("aspectY", 560);
intent.putExtra("outputX", 560);
intent.putExtra("outputY", 560);
intent.putExtra("noFaceDetection", true);
intent.putExtra("screenOrientation", ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
intent.putExtra("outputFormat", Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.toString());
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_FROM_GALLERY);
} else if (extra.equals(camera)) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI.toString());
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
intent.putExtra("crop", "true");
intent.putExtra("aspectX", 560);
intent.putExtra("aspectY", 560);
intent.putExtra("outputX", 560);
intent.putExtra("outputY", 560);
intent.putExtra("noFaceDetection", true);
intent.putExtra("screenOrientation", ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
intent.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_FROM_CAMERA);
}
}
Here I use it later on:
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
photoBit = extras.getParcelable("data");
ByteArrayOutputStream PhotoStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
photoBit.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, PhotoStream);
photos = PhotoStream.toByteArray();
Log.e(TAG, "Width:" + photoBit.getWidth() );
ImageView.setImageBitmap(photoBit);
In the ImageView, I later see that it is scaled down. More precise: every time to 160x160px... I have no idea why.
Please help me. If you need more information, just ask for it.

What is returned in "data" is actually only a thumbnail and not the full-sized photo. It is not possible to get the full-sized image this way, but you need to create a file in which the camera will save it for you. Working example with explanation can be found from http://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics.html under title "Save the Full-size Photo".
First you need to create a new File that will store the image. You may want to make sure the file name does not collide with other files (append timestamp).
File file = new File(context.getExternalFilesDir( null ), "photo.jpg");
Then you specify this in the intent:
intent.putExtra( MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile( file ) );
activity.startActivityForResult( intent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO );
In onActivityResult() you will check if photo was actually taken. You will use the File instance that you have created before that now has the image.
if ( ( requestCode == REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO ) && ( resultCode == RESULT_OK ) ) {
If you want to put the image from the file into ImageView, you can do this:
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile( file.getAbsolutePath() );
imageView.setImageBitmap(bmp);

Set default image cropper program in android

In my application the user selects an image. When the CROP_IMAGE intent is launched it displays the dialog to select one of the available image croppers installed on the device. I would like to solve that one of the installed programs launch default that user don't have to choose all time which program wants to use.
Is it possible to skip this chooser dialog and launch one image cropper automatically?

I found an answer :
Intent cropApps = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
cropApps.setType("image/*");
List<ResolveInfo> list = this.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(cropApps, 0);
int size = list.size();
if (size == 0)
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Can not find image crop app", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
ResolveInfo res = list.get(0);
Intent cropIntent = new Intent();
cropIntent.setClassName(res.activityInfo.packageName, res.activityInfo.name);
cropIntent.setDataAndType(picUri, "image/*");
cropIntent.putExtra("outputX", 800);
cropIntent.putExtra("outputY", 800);
cropIntent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
cropIntent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
cropIntent.putExtra("scale", true);
cropIntent.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(cropIntent, PIC_CROP);
}

Crop image file with quality lost

I use the following code to let the user pick a picture from the gallery. Then the user can crop it. The result is written in an output file. The problem is that the output file has much less quality than the original. Is there a way to have it without quality loose.
Thanks.
Intent intent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.putExtra("crop", "true");
intent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
intent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
File fileOut = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Outputfile.png");
intent.putExtra("output", Uri.fromFile(fileOut));
intent.putExtra("outputFormat", Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, getString(R.string.loEditarPerfiles_SeleccioneImagen)), 1234567);

com.android.camera.action.CROP doesn't work at landscape mode

I have an issue: need to take photo with camera and then show screen with possibility to crop photo that is taken. I added suchfunction:
protected void callCropPhoto(Uri uri) {
try {
Intent intent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "image/*");
intent.putExtra("crop", "true");
intent.putExtra("aspectX", avatar.getWidth());
intent.putExtra("aspectY", avatar.getHeight());
intent.putExtra("outputX", avatar.getWidth());
intent.putExtra("outputY", avatar.getHeight());
intent.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(intent, CROP_PHOTO_REQUEST_CODE);
} catch (Exception ex) {
// Some devices can't support image cropping.
}
}
When I get result from camera with photo I call this function with temporary uri to taken photo. When calls onActivityResult usualy I get RESULT_OK and data - all works good. But on one device (android version 2.3.4) in landscape mode I got RESULT_CANCELED and no screen with cropping appear. What is the problem?

Fail Image cropping in Android

so I want to choose an image from gallery and then crop it:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,
"Select Picture"), PHOTO_PICKED_WITH_DATA);
OK, pick the photo and then catch it onActivityResult, then crop it:
Intent intent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
intent.setDataAndType(mAvatarUri, "image/*");
intent.putExtra("crop", true);
intent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
intent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
intent.putExtra("outputX", ICON_SIZE);
intent.putExtra("outputY", ICON_SIZE);
intent.putExtra("scale", true);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mAvatarUri);
intent.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(intent, CROP_IMAGE);
now, the problem is when i want to transform it into bytes and then send it inside an xml... it doesn't take only the cropped image but instead the whole image itself...
also, i cannot access cropped image uri, it says file not found!
hmmmm, seems like my cropped image weren't saved after all...
how can i suppose to fix this?

Check this code in the following link.
Crop Image
It works fine for me..

I don't know how you got that technique to crop image. But, for me, I always use this library. And it never failed to impress me. Work from android 2.1 all the way to 3.2 (never test it on 4.0 onward).
Here's how I do it:
Intent cropIntent = new Intent(imageProcessActivity,
CropImage.class);
cropIntent.putExtra("image-path",
FileUtil.saveTempFile(ImageProcessActivity.processedBitmap, filename));
cropIntent.putExtra("scale", true);
imageProcessActivity.startActivityForResult(cropIntent, ImageProcessActivity.INTENT_CROP_CODE);
and here's how to catch the result:
if (requestCode == INTENT_CROP_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
Uri uri = null;
uri = (Uri) extras.get("imageCrop");
Bitmap bitmap = null;
try {
bitmap = ImageUtil.decodeFile(
new File(new URI(uri.toString())),
AppConstant.MAX_IMAGE_SIZE);
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
processedBitmap = bitmap;
selectedImage.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
}
