Upload photo to drive without compression

I want to upload a photo from my camera directly into a drive folder:
OutputStream outputStream = result.getDriveContents().getOutputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream bitmapStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
/* image is my Bitmap */
image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, bitmapStream);
try {
outputStream.write(bitmapStream.toByteArray());
} catch (IOException e1) {
Log.i(TAG, "Unable to write file contents.");
}
So im doing this and it's working. The problem is that my pictures in drive is in very low quality and i need to have a High Quality video.
I already tried this solution Converting bitmap to byteArray android
But then in Drive the photo wasnt recognize as media file and can't read it. I may have failed something.
EDIT: i've done exactly the same things that is there https://stackoverflow.com/a/13000774/6644403 and doing this way to get my Bitmap in ActivityResult :
try {
mBitmapToSave = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), data.getData());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

For Get Actual Image predefined path of Captured Image using
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
this.startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, 101);
After Captured Image you can get Captured Image on path which is set in cameraIntent. If you don't Want to set predefined path then check Intent data.
if (resultCode == android.app.Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == 101) {
try {
path_mm = "Onsuccess_resultcode";
generateNoteOnSD("photo34.txt", path_mm);
Bitmap photo = null;
if (data == null) {
//get Bitmap here.
} else {
Uri u1 = data.getData();
//get uri and find actual path on that uri.
}
}catch(Exception ex) {}
}
Refer this link Upload large files to Google Drive using GD API for google drive Uploadation.

I wasnt asking for rights to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, it was in my manifest but since api23 i need to explicit and ask if the user ok.
Now it's good.

set image from server as wallpaper with full size

i'm using these codes to set my image from server as wallpaper :
WallpaperManager wpm = WallpaperManager.getInstance(MainActivity.this);
InputStream ins;
try {
String xlx = "http://myserver.com/myimage.jpg";
ins = new URL(xlx).openStream();
wpm.setStream(ins);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
it's working and my image will set as wallpaper,
but my problem is that it is not setting full image as wallpaper, so how should i do to set full image as wallpaper without cropping?

set imageview property in your layout xml file.
android:scaleType="fitXY"

Set wallpaper using bitmap in android

When setting the wallpaper I'm using an int and then I'm converting it into a bitmap with decodestream but the wallpaper is still not set.
Here is my code
InputStream y = getResources().openRawResource(friendship);
Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(y);
try {
getApplicationContext().setWallpaper(b);
Toast.makeText(this, "Wallpaper Set!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Is the permission SET_WALLPAPER set in the manifest file? Android docs link
Further more, the method that you are using is deprecated. You should be using WallpaperManager apis

Set local photo as wallpaper on Android

I use below code to set photo as wallpaper:
try {
File f = new File(PhotoPath);
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(f);
this.setWallpaper(in);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
For some photo, it can set as wallpaper success.
But for some photo, the wallpaper will be set to device default wallpaper or all black.
Is there any limitation of the photo which be set to wallpaper?
Or this code how to modify to fix issue?

Try this method from this link : developer.
public void setStream (InputStream data);
Currently image must be either a JPEG or PNG. This method supports from API Level 5.

creating a drawable from sd card to set as a background in android

I am trying to use an image from the sd card and set it as the background for a relativelayout. I have tried other solutions that i have found here and elsewhere but they havent seemed to work for me. here is my code. I have commented out other ways that i have tried and didnt work. the only thing that worked for me was using setBackgroudnResource and using a resource from the app, but this was just to test to make sure mRoot was set up correctly. when I have tried all the other ways, it just doesn't set anything. Anyone know what I am doing wrong, or if there is a better way to do this?
//one way i tired...
//String extDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
//Drawable d = Drawable.createFromPath(extDir + "/pic.png");
//mRoot.setBackgroundDrawable(d);
//another way tried..
//Drawable d = Drawable.createFromPath("/sdcard/pic.png");
//mRoot.setBackgroundDrawable(d);
//last way i tried...
mRoot.setBackgroundDrawable(Drawable.createFromPath(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "pic.png").getAbsolutePath()));
//worked, only to verify mRoot was setup correctly and it could be changed
//mRoot.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bkg);

You do not load a drawable from SD card but a bitmap. Here is a method to load it with the reduced sampling (quality) so the program will not complain if the image is too large. Then I guess you need to process this bitmap i.e. crop it and resize for the background.
// Read bitmap from Uri
public Bitmap readBitmap(Uri selectedImage) {
Bitmap bm = null;
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 2; //reduce quality
AssetFileDescriptor fileDescriptor =null;
try {
fileDescriptor = this.getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(selectedImage,"r");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
try {
bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor(), null, options);
fileDescriptor.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return bm;
}
The Uri here can be supplied from a gallery picker activity.
The image then can be saved into application resources and loaded into an imageView
private void saveBackground(Bitmap Background) {
String strBackgroundFilename = "background_custom.jpg";
try {
Background.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 80, openFileOutput(strBackgroundFilename, MODE_PRIVATE));
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(DEBUG_TAG, "Background compression and save failed.", e);
}
Uri imageUriToSaveCameraImageTo = Uri.fromFile(new File(BackgroundSettings.this.getFilesDir(), strBackgroundFilename));
// Load this image
Bitmap bitmapImage = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageUriToSaveCameraImageTo.getPath());
Drawable bgrImage = new BitmapDrawable(bitmapImage);
//show it in a view
ImageView backgroundView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.BackgroundImageView);
backgroundView.setImageURI(null);
backgroundView.setImageDrawable(bgrImage);
}

File file = new File( url.getAbsolutePath(), imageUrl);
if (file.exists()) {
mDrawable = Drawable.createFromPath(file.getAbsolutePath());
}

I suggest checking that the drawable is being loaded correctly. Some things to try:
Try using a different image on the sd card
Put pic.png in R.drawable and make sure mRoot.setBackgroundResource() does what you expect
After loading the drawable, check d.getBounds() to make sure it is what you expect
