I am trying to let users select a profile picture from gallery. My issue is that some pictures come as rotated to the right.
I start the image picker like so:
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent();
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
photoPickerIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(photoPickerIntent, "Select profile picture"), Global.CODE_SELECT_PICTURE);
I get the image from onActivityResult like so:
Uri selectedPicture = data.getData();
profilePic = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(activity.getContentResolver(), selectedPicture);
How can i make have images not to be rotated?
UPDATE:
Following some of the helpful answers i have received, i managed to come up with the following working solution (It's just a working code, not well written). I would love to get your feedback on how i can improve it!
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == Global.CODE_SELECT_PICTURE) {
// Get selected gallery image
Uri selectedPicture = data.getData();
// Get and resize profile image
String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = activity.getContentResolver().query(selectedPicture, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
cursor.close();
Bitmap loadedBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath);
ExifInterface exif = null;
try {
File pictureFile = new File(picturePath);
exif = new ExifInterface(pictureFile.getAbsolutePath());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
int orientation = ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL;
if (exif != null)
orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);
switch (orientation) {
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
loadedBitmap = rotateBitmap(loadedBitmap, 90);
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
loadedBitmap = rotateBitmap(loadedBitmap, 180);
break;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
loadedBitmap = rotateBitmap(loadedBitmap, 270);
break;
}
}
}
public static Bitmap rotateBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int degrees) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(degrees);
return Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}
You could use ExifInterface to modify the orientation:
public static Bitmap modifyOrientation(Bitmap bitmap, String image_absolute_path) throws IOException {
ExifInterface ei = new ExifInterface(image_absolute_path);
int orientation = ei.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);
switch (orientation) {
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
return rotate(bitmap, 90);
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
return rotate(bitmap, 180);
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
return rotate(bitmap, 270);
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_FLIP_HORIZONTAL:
return flip(bitmap, true, false);
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_FLIP_VERTICAL:
return flip(bitmap, false, true);
default:
return bitmap;
}
}
public static Bitmap rotate(Bitmap bitmap, float degrees) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(degrees);
return Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}
public static Bitmap flip(Bitmap bitmap, boolean horizontal, boolean vertical) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.preScale(horizontal ? -1 : 1, vertical ? -1 : 1);
return Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}
