ImageIO.read( ) can't read the orientation of the image if it was taken with mobile device.

I used metadata-extractor to read metadata, i think it's a good solution: github.com/drewnoakes/metadata-extractor/wiki

Read orientation filed in exif directory:

ExifIFD0Directory exifIFD0 = metadata.getDirectory(ExifIFD0Directory.class);
int orientation = exifIFD0.getInt(ExifIFD0Directory.TAG_ORIENTATION);

switch (orientation) {
  case 1: // [Exif IFD0] Orientation - Top, left side (Horizontal / normal)
    return null;
  case 6: // [Exif IFD0] Orientation - Right side, top (Rotate 90 CW)
    return Rotation.CW_90;
  case 3: // [Exif IFD0] Orientation - Bottom, right side (Rotate 180)
    return Rotation.CW_180;
  case 8: // [Exif IFD0] Orientation - Left side, bottom (Rotate 270 CW)
    return Rotation.CW_270;
}

(Rotation is a class from the org.imgscalr.Scalr framework I use ti rotate image).
