I use code below to make a picture with camera. Instead of saving I would like to encode it to Base64
and after that pass it to another API as an input. I can't see method, how to modify code to take pictures in Base64
instead of regular files.
public class CameraDemoActivity extends Activity {
int TAKE_PHOTO_CODE = 0;
public static int count = 0;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
final String dir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) + "/picFolder/";
File newdir = new File(dir);
newdir.mkdirs();
Button capture = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnCapture);
capture.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
count++;
String file = dir+count+".jpg";
File newfile = new File(file);
try {
newfile.createNewFile();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
}
Uri outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(newfile);
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, TAKE_PHOTO_CODE);
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == TAKE_PHOTO_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Log.d("CameraDemo", "Pic saved");
}
}
}
I try to use code below to convert an image to Base64
.
public static String encodeToBase64(Bitmap image, Bitmap.CompressFormat compressFormat, int quality)
{
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOS = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
image.compress(compressFormat, quality, byteArrayOS);
return Base64.encodeToString(byteArrayOS.toByteArray(), Base64.DEFAULT);
}
Above described should be a much more direct and easier way than saving image and after that looking for image to encode it.
Try this:
ImageUri to Bitmap:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == TAKE_PHOTO_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
final Uri imageUri = data.getData();
final InputStream imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(imageUri);
final Bitmap selectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
String encodedImage = encodeImage(selectedImage);
}
}
Encode Bitmap in base64
private String encodeImage(Bitmap bm)
{
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,100,baos);
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();
String encImage = Base64.encodeToString(b, Base64.DEFAULT);
return encImage;
}
Encode from FilePath to base64
private String encodeImage(String path)
{
File imagefile = new File(path);
FileInputStream fis = null;
try{
fis = new FileInputStream(imagefile);
}catch(FileNotFoundException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,100,baos);
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();
String encImage = Base64.encodeToString(b, Base64.DEFAULT);
//Base64.de
return encImage;
}
