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

. . IMPORTANT: See answer from @Mark Ingram below and @pjv for at better solution. . .

You could try this:

public Bitmap loadBitmap(String url)
{
    Bitmap bm = null;
    InputStream is = null;
    BufferedInputStream bis = null;
    try 
    {
        URLConnection conn = new URL(url).openConnection();
        conn.connect();
        is = conn.getInputStream();
        bis = new BufferedInputStream(is, 8192);
        bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bis);
    }
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally {
        if (bis != null) 
        {
            try 
            {
                bis.close();
            }
            catch (IOException e) 
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        if (is != null) 
        {
            try 
            {
                is.close();
            }
            catch (IOException e) 
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
    return bm;
}

But remember, this method should only be called from within a thread (not GUI -thread). I a AsyncTask.

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);

See the answer here

Answer 3

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 4

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 5

This is the easiest solution:

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

Answer 6

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 7

 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 8

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

Answer 9

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 10

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 11

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 12

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)
    }

Answer 13

Bitmap imgbitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), selectedImageUri);
