Android -- Map markers displaying differently (dip/px or decompression)

Android -- Map markers displaying differently (dip/px or decompression) - android

I'm having an odd problem with my map pin sizes. To preserve dynamic-ness, the map pins for different categories are stored on a site's server so that they can be changed at any point even after the app is published.
I'm caching the pins every time I download them and I only ever re-download them if the server sends back a bit saying that one has changed since last I downloaded it. The first time I grab the pins, I use the bitmaps before I save them to files and the map markers are the correct size. Every time after that I'm loading a saved version of the pins straight from the image file. These are displaying considerably smaller than they are when using the bitmaps from the first download.
At first, I thought it was a problem with the way I'm saving the PNGs, but their sizes are correct (64 x 64). Is this a dip/px issue or do I need to decompress the image files with some sort of option?
Here's how I grab the images the first time:
public static Bitmap loadMapPin(String category, int width, int height) {
URL imageUrl;
category = category.toLowerCase().replace(" ", "");
try {
imageUrl = new URL(PIN_URL+category+".png");
InputStream is = (InputStream) imageUrl.getContent();
Options options = new Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true; //Only find the dimensions
//Decode without downloading to find dimensions
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, options);
boolean scaleByHeight = Math.abs(options.outHeight - height) >= Math.abs(options.outWidth - width);
if(options.outHeight * options.outWidth >= width * height){
// Load, scaling to smallest power of 2 that'll get it <= desired dimensions
double sampleSize = scaleByHeight
? options.outHeight / height
: options.outWidth / width;
options.inSampleSize =
(int)Math.pow(2d, Math.floor(
Math.log(sampleSize)/Math.log(2d)));
}
options.inJustDecodeBounds = false; //Download image this time
is.close();
is = (InputStream) imageUrl.getContent();
Bitmap img = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, options);
return img;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
And here's how I'm loading them from the cached file:
BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filepath);
Thanks in advance!

I've found that, by default, decompressing an image to a bitmap doesn't scale with high density screens. You have to set the density to none. In other words, you specify that the image is meant for an unknown density.
Solution:
Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filepath);
b.setDensity(Bitmap.DENSITY_NONE);

Camera Intent Photos Upload

So (or SO), my requirements are:
Display 4 photo placeholders
Click one placeholder to take a photo
Display the 4 thumbnails of the taken pictures in a fragment
Upload 4 photos (one unique HTTP request, max size per photo 250kb, total 1 MB)
I initially thought this was a standard/quite easy task, but I finally changed
my mind. I'm proceeding this way:
When a user click on a placeholder:
file = createImageFile();
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(file));
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent);
private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
// fileName is just a unique string...
File storageDir = activity.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File file = File.createTempFile(fileName, ".jpg", storageDir);
return file;
}
From Google Docs
I set the thumbnail for the placeholder:
private void setThumbnail(File file, ImageView target) {
int targetWidth = target.getWidth();
int targetHeight = target.getHeight();
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath(), options);
int thumbWidth = options.outWidth;
int thumbHeight = options.outHeight;
int scaleFactor = Math.min(thumbWidth / targetWidth, thumbHeight
/ targetHeight);
options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
options.inSampleSize = scaleFactor;
options.inPurgeable = true;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath(),
options);
target.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
Server side my PHP API requires 4 JPEG files 250kb max each.
I'm using Loopj library (1.4.6) to upload them.
Loopj set request parameters whit method put, and we can use three
way to upload a file:
params.put("picture", file); // Upload a File
params.put("picture", inputStream); // Upload an InputStream
params.put("picture", new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes)); // Upload some bytes
The pictures saved from camera intent are too big for the memory reserved to the app and
I cannot just "load" them in RAM (or I'll get a OOM Exception).
Should I scale them down (or compress don't know) iteratively to 250kb (or some specific pixels size) and
then overwrite the saved files? Can you please suggest something to point me in the right direction?
Important: if possile I'd like to avoid rewriting a camera app, I'm just going with the intent, I've not enough time.

Did you try to add in your manifest.xml that code:
<application
android:largeHeap="true">
That allows you to manage properly huge photo by allocating more memory to your app.

How can I make my images consume less memory?

I am developing a game and I was working with the graphics, I run into some force closes. So my question is : How can we make images to consume less memory in android?
I´ll explain my game, it´s a logic game with a few small images and a background. I´m testing the app in a galaxy note, 1 GB of RAM, and I thought it could take the high resolution but if I use big image for the background, it force closes after going to the pause layout and back.
So I have lowered the graphics and done with no force closes. Anyway is there some way to avoid this memory issue? I´m setting the images directly on the xml is that wrong?
Solved
I have decided to go with this method, thanks to Durairaj Packirisamy for the answer
Here is my code:
Bitmap unscaledimgswitch = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.switch1on);
ImageView switch1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.switch1);
int viewheight = screenheight / 10;
int imgheight = unscaledimgswitch.getHeight();
switch1.getLayoutParams().height = viewheight;
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
options.inSampleSize = ScaledFactor.getScaleFactor(imgheight ,viewheight); // de esta forma cargo la imagen del tamaño exacto necesario
options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
imgswitch = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.switch1on, options);
switch1.setImageBitmap(imgswitch);
And in an other class
static int getScaleFactor(int imgheight, int viewheight) {
int result;
result = imgheight / viewheight ;
return result;
}

You need to use a proper BitmapFactory.options.inSampleSize value, If set to a value > 1, requests the decoder to subsample the original image, returning a smaller image to save memory.
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 4;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(stream, null, options);

Loading multiple high quality bitmaps and scaling them

I've got a serious performance issue in my app, when loading up bitmaps it seems to take up way to much memory.
I have a drawable folder which contains the bitmap sizes for all android devices, these bitmaps are of high quality. Basically it goes though each bitmap and makes a new one for the device depending on the size. (Decided to do it this way because it supports the correct orientation and any device). It works but it's taking up way to much memory and takes along time to load. Can anyone make any suggestions on the following code.
public Bitmap getBitmapSized(String name, int percentage, int screen_dimention, int frames, int rows, Object params)
{
if(name != "null")
{
_tempInt = _context.getResources().getIdentifier(name, "drawable", _context.getPackageName());
_tempBitmap = (BitmapFactory.decodeResource(_context.getResources(), _tempInt, _BM_options_temp));
}
else
{
_tempBitmap = (Bitmap) params;
}
_bmWidth = _tempBitmap.getWidth() / frames;
_bmHeight = _tempBitmap.getHeight() / rows;
_newWidth = (screen_dimention / 100.0f) * percentage;
_newHeight = (_newWidth / _bmWidth) * _bmHeight;
//Round up to closet factor of total frames (Stops juddering within animation)
_newWidth = _newWidth * frames;
//Output the created item
/*
Log.w(name, "Item");
Log.w(Integer.toString((int)_newWidth), "new width");
Log.w(Integer.toString((int)_newHeight), "new height");
*/
//Create new item and recycle bitmap
Bitmap newBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(_tempBitmap, (int)_newWidth, (int)_newHeight, false);
_tempBitmap.recycle();
return newBitmap;
}

There's an excellent guide over on the Android Training site:
http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/load-bitmap.html
It's about efficient loading of bitmap images - highly recommended!

This will save space. If not using Alpha colors it would be better not to use one with the A channel.
Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inScaled = false;
options.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;
// or Bitmap.Config.RGB_565 ;
// or Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444 ;
Bitmap newBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(_tempBitmap, (int)_newWidth, (int)_newHeight, options);

"Bitmap too large to be uploaded into a texture"

I'm loading a bitmap into an ImageView, and seeing this error. I gather this limit relates to a size limit for OpenGL hardware textures (2048x2048). The image I need to load is a pinch-zoom image of about 4,000 pixels high.
I've tried turning off hardware acceleration in the manifest, but no joy.
<application
android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
....
>
Is it possible to load an image larger than 2048 pixels into an ImageView?

This isn't a direct answer to the question (loading images >2048), but a possible solution for anyone experiencing the error.
In my case, the image was smaller than 2048 in both dimensions (1280x727 to be exact) and the issue was specifically experienced on a Galaxy Nexus. The image was in the drawable folder and none of the qualified folders. Android assumes drawables without a density qualifier are mdpi and scales them up or down for other densities, in this case scaled up 2x for xhdpi. Moving the culprit image to drawable-nodpi to prevent scaling solved the problem.

I have scaled down the image in this way:
ImageView iv = (ImageView)waypointListView.findViewById(R.id.waypoint_picker_photo);
Bitmap d = new BitmapDrawable(ctx.getResources() , w.photo.getAbsolutePath()).getBitmap();
int nh = (int) ( d.getHeight() * (512.0 / d.getWidth()) );
Bitmap scaled = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(d, 512, nh, true);
iv.setImageBitmap(scaled);

All rendering is based on OpenGL, so no you can't go over this limit (GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE depends on the device, but the minimum is 2048x2048, so any image lower than 2048x2048 will fit).
With such big images, if you want to zoom in out, and in a mobile, you should setup a system similar to what you see in google maps for example. With the image split in several pieces, and several definitions.
Or you could scale down the image before displaying it (see user1352407's answer on this question).
And also, be careful to which folder you put the image into, Android can automatically scale up images. Have a look at Pilot_51's answer below on this question.

Instead of spending hours upon hours trying to write/debug all this downsampling code manually, why not use Picasso? It was made for dealing with bitmaps of all types and/or sizes.
I have used this single line of code to remove my "bitmap too large...." problem:
Picasso.load(resourceId).fit().centerCrop().into(imageView);

Addition of the following 2 attributes in (AndroidManifest.xml) worked for me:
android:largeHeap="true"
android:hardwareAccelerated="false"

Changing the image file to drawable-nodpi folder from drawable folder worked for me.

I used Picasso and had the same problem. image was too large at least in on size, width or height. finally I found the solution here. you can scale the large image down according to display size and also keep the aspect ratio:
public Point getDisplaySize(Display display) {
Point size = new Point();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB_MR2) {
display.getSize(size);
} else {
int width = display.getWidth();
int height = display.getHeight();
size = new Point(width, height);
}
return size;
}
and use this method for loading image by Picasso:
final Point displySize = getDisplaySize(getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay());
final int size = (int) Math.ceil(Math.sqrt(displySize.x * displySize.y));
Picasso.with(this)
.load(urlSource)
.resize(size, size)
.centerInside()
.into(imageViewd);
also for better performance you can download the image according to width and height of the display screen, not whole the image:
public String reviseImageUrl(final Integer displayWidth, final Integer displayHeight,
final String originalImageUrl) {
final String revisedImageUrl;
if (displayWidth == null && displayHeight == null) {
revisedImageUrl = originalImageUrl;
} else {
final Uri.Builder uriBuilder = Uri.parse(originalImageUrl).buildUpon();
if (displayWidth != null && displayWidth > 0) {
uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter(QUERY_KEY_DISPLAY_WIDTH, String.valueOf(displayWidth));
}
if (displayHeight != null && displayHeight > 0) {
uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter(QUERY_KEY_DISPLAY_HEIGHT, String.valueOf(displayHeight));
}
revisedImageUrl = uriBuilder.toString();
}
return revisedImageUrl;
}
final String newImageUlr = reviseImageUrl(displySize.x, displySize.y, urlSource);
and then:
Picasso.with(this)
.load(newImageUlr)
.resize(size, size)
.centerInside()
.into(imageViewd);
EDIT: getDisplaySize()
display.getWidth()/getHeight() is deprecated. Instead of Display use DisplayMetrics.
public Point getDisplaySize(DisplayMetrics displayMetrics) {
int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;
int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
return new Point(width, height);
}

BitmapRegionDecoder does the trick.
You can override onDraw(Canvas canvas), start a new Thread and decode the area visible to the user.

As pointed by Larcho, starting from API level 10, you can use BitmapRegionDecoder to load specific regions from an image and with that, you can accomplish to show a large image in high resolution by allocating in memory just the needed regions. I've recently developed a lib that provides the visualisation of large images with touch gesture handling. The source code and samples are available here.

View level
You can disable hardware acceleration for an individual view at runtime with the following code:
myView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);

I ran through same problem, here is my solution. set the width of image same as android screen width and then scales the height
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(image.getAbsolutePath());
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
int width = size.x;
int height = size.y;
Log.e("Screen width ", " "+width);
Log.e("Screen height ", " "+height);
Log.e("img width ", " "+myBitmap.getWidth());
Log.e("img height ", " "+myBitmap.getHeight());
float scaleHt =(float) width/myBitmap.getWidth();
Log.e("Scaled percent ", " "+scaleHt);
Bitmap scaled = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(myBitmap, width, (int)(myBitmap.getWidth()*scaleHt), true);
myImage.setImageBitmap(scaled);
This is better for any size android screen. let me know if it works for you.

Scale down image:
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
// Set height and width in options, does not return an image and no resource taken
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imagefile, null, options);
int pow = 0;
while (options.outHeight >> pow > reqHeight || options.outWidth >> pow > reqWidth)
pow += 1;
options.inSampleSize = 1 << pow;
options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
image = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imagefile, null, options);
The image will be scaled down at the size of reqHeight and reqWidth. As I understand inSampleSize only take in a power of 2 values.

Use Glide library instead of directly loading into imageview
Glide : https://github.com/bumptech/glide
Glide.with(this).load(Uri.parse(filelocation))).into(img_selectPassportPic);

I tried all the solutions above, one-after-the-other, for quite many hours, and none seemed to work! Finally, I decided to look around for an official example concerning capturing images with Android's camera, and displaying them. The official example (here), finally gave me the only method that worked. Below I present the solution I found in that example app:
public void setThumbnailImageAndSave(final ImageView imgView, File imgFile) {
/* There isn't enough memory to open up more than a couple camera photos */
/* So pre-scale the target bitmap into which the file is decoded */
/* Get the size of the ImageView */
int targetW = imgView.getWidth();
int targetH = imgView.getHeight();
/* Get the size of the image */
BitmapFactory.Options bmOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
bmOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath(), bmOptions);
int photoW = bmOptions.outWidth;
int photoH = bmOptions.outHeight;
/* Figure out which way needs to be reduced less */
int scaleFactor = 1;
if ((targetW > 0) || (targetH > 0)) {
scaleFactor = Math.min(photoW/targetW, photoH/targetH);
}
/* Set bitmap options to scale the image decode target */
bmOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
bmOptions.inSampleSize = scaleFactor;
bmOptions.inPurgeable = true;
/* Decode the JPEG file into a Bitmap */
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath(), bmOptions);
/* Associate the Bitmap to the ImageView */
imgView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
imgView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}

NOTE FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO PUT IMAGES OF SMALL SIZE:
Pilot_51's solution (moving your images to drawable-nodpi folder) works, but has another problem:
It makes images TOO SMALL on screen unless the images are resized to a very large (like 2000 x 3800) resolution to fit screen -- then it makes your app heavier.
SOLUTION: put your image files in drawable-hdpi -- It worked like a charm for me.

Using the correct drawable subfolder solved it for me. My solution was to put my full resolution image (1920x1200) into the drawable-xhdpi folder, instead of the drawable folder.
I also put a scaled down image (1280x800) into the drawable-hdpi folder.
These two resolutions match the 2013 and 2012 Nexus 7 tablets I'm programming. I also tested the solution on some other tablets.

#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
///*
if (requestCode == PICK_FROM_FILE && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data){
uri = data.getData();
String[] prjection ={MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri,prjection,null,null,null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(prjection[0]);
ImagePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
FixBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(ImagePath);
ShowSelectedImage = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
// FixBitmap = new BitmapDrawable(ImagePath);
int nh = (int) ( FixBitmap.getHeight() * (512.0 / FixBitmap.getWidth()) );
FixBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(FixBitmap, 512, nh, true);
// ShowSelectedImage.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(ImagePath));
ShowSelectedImage.setImageBitmap(FixBitmap);
}
}
This code is work

How do I scale a streaming bitmap in-place without reading the whole image first?

I have an Android application that is very image intensive. I'm currently using Bitmap.createScaledBitmap() to scale the image to a desired size. However, this method requires that I already have the original bitmap in memory, which can be quite sizable.
How can I scale a bitmap that I'm downloading without first writing the entire thing out to local memory or file system?

This method will read the header information from the image to determine its size, then read the image and scale it to the desired size in place without allocating memory for the full original sized image.
It also uses BitmapFactory.Options.inPurgeable, which seems to be a sparsely documented but desirable option to prevent OoM exceptions when using lots of bitmaps. UPDATE: no longer uses inPurgeable, see this note from Romain
It works by using a BufferedInputStream to read the header information for the image before reading the entire image in via the InputStream.
/**
* Read the image from the stream and create a bitmap scaled to the desired
* size. Resulting bitmap will be at least as large as the
* desired minimum specified dimensions and will keep the image proportions
* correct during scaling.
*/
protected Bitmap createScaledBitmapFromStream( InputStream s, int minimumDesiredBitmapWith, int minimumDesiredBitmapHeight ) {
final BufferedInputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(s, 32*1024);
try {
final Options decodeBitmapOptions = new Options();
// For further memory savings, you may want to consider using this option
// decodeBitmapOptions.inPreferredConfig = Config.RGB_565; // Uses 2-bytes instead of default 4 per pixel
if( minimumDesiredBitmapWidth >0 && minimumDesiredBitmapHeight >0 ) {
final Options decodeBoundsOptions = new Options();
decodeBoundsOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
is.mark(32*1024); // 32k is probably overkill, but 8k is insufficient for some jpgs
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is,null,decodeBoundsOptions);
is.reset();
final int originalWidth = decodeBoundsOptions.outWidth;
final int originalHeight = decodeBoundsOptions.outHeight;
// inSampleSize prefers multiples of 2, but we prefer to prioritize memory savings
decodeBitmapOptions.inSampleSize= Math.max(1,Math.min(originalWidth / minimumDesiredBitmapWidth, originalHeight / minimumDesiredBitmapHeight));
}
return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is,null,decodeBitmapOptions);
} catch( IOException e ) {
throw new RuntimeException(e); // this shouldn't happen
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch( IOException ignored ) {}
}
}

Here is my version, based on #emmby solution (thanks man!)
I've included a second phase where you take the reduced bitmap and scale it again to match exactly your desired dimensions.
My version takes a file path rather than a stream.
protected Bitmap createScaledBitmap(String filePath, int desiredBitmapWith, int desiredBitmapHeight) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException {
BufferedInputStream imageFileStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(filePath));
try {
// Phase 1: Get a reduced size image. In this part we will do a rough scale down
int sampleSize = 1;
if (desiredBitmapWith > 0 && desiredBitmapHeight > 0) {
final BitmapFactory.Options decodeBoundsOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
decodeBoundsOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
imageFileStream.mark(64 * 1024);
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageFileStream, null, decodeBoundsOptions);
imageFileStream.reset();
final int originalWidth = decodeBoundsOptions.outWidth;
final int originalHeight = decodeBoundsOptions.outHeight;
// inSampleSize prefers multiples of 2, but we prefer to prioritize memory savings
sampleSize = Math.max(1, Math.max(originalWidth / desiredBitmapWith, originalHeight / desiredBitmapHeight));
}
BitmapFactory.Options decodeBitmapOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
decodeBitmapOptions.inSampleSize = sampleSize;
decodeBitmapOptions.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.RGB_565; // Uses 2-bytes instead of default 4 per pixel
// Get the roughly scaled-down image
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageFileStream, null, decodeBitmapOptions);
// Phase 2: Get an exact-size image - no dimension will exceed the desired value
float ratio = Math.min((float)desiredBitmapWith/ (float)bmp.getWidth(), (float)desiredBitmapHeight/ (float)bmp.getHeight());
int w =(int) ((float)bmp.getWidth() * ratio);
int h =(int) ((float)bmp.getHeight() * ratio);
return Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmp, w,h, true);
} catch (IOException e) {
throw e;
} finally {
try {
imageFileStream.close();
} catch (IOException ignored) {
}
}
}
