creating .bmp image file from Bitmap class

Question

I've created an application that uses sockets in which the client receives the image and stores the data of the image in Bitmap class....

Can anyone please tell me how to create a file named myimage.png or myimage.bmp from this Bitmap object

String base64Code = dataInputStream.readUTF();
byte[] decodedString = null;
decodedString = Base64.decode(base64Code);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedString, 0,decodedString.length);

Answer 1

Try following code to save image as PNG format

try {
   FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
   bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
}
out.flush();
out.close();

Here, 100 is quality to save in Compression. You can pass anything between 0 to 100. Lower the digit, poor quality with decreased size.

Note

You need to take permission in Android Manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Edit

To save your image to .BMP format, Android Bitmap Util will help you. It has very simple implementation.

String sdcardBmpPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/sample_text.bmp";
Bitmap testBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.sample_text);
AndroidBmpUtil bmpUtil = new AndroidBmpUtil();
boolean isSaveResult = bmpUtil.save(testBitmap, sdcardBmpPath);

try {
   FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
   bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
   out.close();
}
