How to get Bitmap from an Uri?

Question

How to get a Bitmap object from an Uri (if I succeed to store it in /data/data/MYFOLDER/myimage.png or file///data/data/MYFOLDER/myimage.png) to use it in my application?

Does anyone have an idea on how to accomplish this?

Answer 1

Here's the correct way of doing it:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
    {
        Uri imageUri = data.getData();
        Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imageUri);
    }
}

If you need to load very large images, the following code will load it in in tiles (avoiding large memory allocations):

BitmapRegionDecoder decoder = BitmapRegionDecoder.newInstance(myStream, false);  
Bitmap region = decoder.decodeRegion(new Rect(10, 10, 50, 50), null);

Answer 2

Here's the correct way of doing it, keeping tabs on memory usage as well:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
  if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
  {
    Uri imageUri = data.getData();
    Bitmap bitmap = getThumbnail(imageUri);
  }
}

public static Bitmap getThumbnail(Uri uri) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException{
  InputStream input = this.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

  BitmapFactory.Options onlyBoundsOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
  onlyBoundsOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
  onlyBoundsOptions.inDither=true;//optional
  onlyBoundsOptions.inPreferredConfig=Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;//optional
  BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input, null, onlyBoundsOptions);
  input.close();

  if ((onlyBoundsOptions.outWidth == -1) || (onlyBoundsOptions.outHeight == -1)) {
    return null;
  }

  int originalSize = (onlyBoundsOptions.outHeight > onlyBoundsOptions.outWidth) ? onlyBoundsOptions.outHeight : onlyBoundsOptions.outWidth;

  double ratio = (originalSize > THUMBNAIL_SIZE) ? (originalSize / THUMBNAIL_SIZE) : 1.0;

  BitmapFactory.Options bitmapOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
  bitmapOptions.inSampleSize = getPowerOfTwoForSampleRatio(ratio);
  bitmapOptions.inDither = true; //optional
  bitmapOptions.inPreferredConfig=Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;//
  input = this.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
  Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input, null, bitmapOptions);
  input.close();
  return bitmap;
}

private static int getPowerOfTwoForSampleRatio(double ratio){
  int k = Integer.highestOneBit((int)Math.floor(ratio));
  if(k==0) return 1;
  else return k;
}

The getBitmap() call from Mark Ingram's post also calls the decodeStream(), so you don't lose any functionality.

Answer 3

try
{
    Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(c.getContentResolver() , Uri.parse(paths));
}
catch (Exception e) 
{
    //handle exception
}

and yes path must be in a format of like this

file:///mnt/sdcard/filename.jpg

Answer 4

It seems that MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap was deprecated in API 29. The recommended way is to use ImageDecoder.createSource which was added in API 28.

Here's how getting the bitmap would be done:

val bitmap = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P) {
    ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap(ImageDecoder.createSource(requireContext().contentResolver, imageUri))
} else {
    MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(requireContext().contentResolver, imageUri)
}

IMPORTANT: ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap read EXIF orientation, Media.getBitmap doesn't

Answer 5

private void uriToBitmap(Uri selectedFileUri) {
    try {
        ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor =
                getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(selectedFileUri, "r");
        FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = parcelFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor();
        Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor);

        parcelFileDescriptor.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Answer 6

This is the easiest solution:

Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), uri);

Answer 7

You can retrieve bitmap from uri like this

Bitmap bitmap = null;
try {
    bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imageUri);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Answer 8

Uri imgUri = data.getData();
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imgUri);

Answer 9

  InputStream imageStream = null;
    try {
        imageStream = getContext().getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    final Bitmap selectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);

Answer 10

private fun setImage(view: ImageView, uri: Uri) {
        val stream = contentResolver.openInputStream(uri)
        val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(stream)
        view.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
}

Answer 11

you can do this structure:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent imageReturnedIntent) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, imageReturnedIntent);
    switch(requestCode) {
        case 0:
            if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
                    Uri selectedImage = imageReturnedIntent.getData();
                    Bundle extras = imageReturnedIntent.getExtras();
                    bitmap = extras.getParcelable("data");
            }
            break;
   }

by this you can easily convert a uri to bitmap. hope help u.

Answer 12

Use startActivityForResult metod like below

        startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK).setType("image/*"), PICK_IMAGE);

And you can get result like this:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (resultCode != RESULT_OK) {
        return;
    }
    switch (requestCode) {
        case PICK_IMAGE:
            Uri imageUri = data.getData();
            try {
                Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imageUri);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
         break;
    }
}

Answer 13

Inset of getBitmap which is depricated now I use the following approach in Kotlin

PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST ->
    data?.data?.let {
        val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(contentResolver.openInputStream(it))
        imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
    }

Answer 14

I have try a lot of ways. this work for me perfectly.

If you choose pictrue from Gallery. You need to be ware of getting Uri from intent.clipdata or intent.data, because one of them may be null in different version.

  private fun onChoosePicture(data: Intent?):Bitmap {
        data?.let {
            var fileUri:Uri? = null

              data.clipData?.let {clip->
                  if(clip.itemCount>0){
                      fileUri = clip.getItemAt(0).uri
                  }
              }
            it.data?.let {uri->
                fileUri = uri
            }


               return MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.contentResolver, fileUri )
}

Answer 15

(KOTLIN) So, as of April 7th, 2020 none of the above mentioned options worked, but here's what worked for me:

1. If you want to store the bitmap in a val and set an imageView with it, use this:

   val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(currentPhotoPath).also { bitmap -> imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) }

2. If you just want to set the bitmap to and imageView, use this:

   BitmapFactory.decodeFile(currentPhotoPath).also { bitmap -> imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) }

Answer 16

It worked for me

Uri uri = data.getData(); Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), uri);

Answer 17

by using glide library you can get bitmap from uri,

almost in samsung devices image rotated when and we have to check rotation using exifinterface

but using glide no need to check rotation, image always correctly received.

in kotlin you can get bitmap as

CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch {
   var bitmap = Glide.with(context).asBitmap().load(imageUri).submit().get()//this is synchronous approach                  
}

I am using this dependency

api 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.12.0'
kapt 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.12.0'

Answer 18

Full method to get image uri from mobile gallery.

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

  if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null && data.getData() != null) {
                Uri filePath = data.getData();

     try { //Getting the Bitmap from Gallery
           Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), filePath);
           rbitmap = getResizedBitmap(bitmap, 250);//Setting the Bitmap to ImageView
           serImage = getStringImage(rbitmap);
           imageViewUserImage.setImageBitmap(rbitmap);
      } catch (IOException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
      }


   }
}

Answer 19

* For getting bitmap from uri. Work for me perfectly.
    
    
    public static Bitmap decodeUriToBitmap(Context mContext, Uri sendUri) {
          Bitmap getBitmap = null;
          try {
            InputStream image_stream;
            try {
              image_stream = mContext.getContentResolver().openInputStream(sendUri);

          } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
          }
          return getBitmap;
        }

Answer 20

InputStream input = cr.openInputStream(url);

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
