Passing Bitmap between two activities [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can simply try with below -

Intent i = new Intent(this, Second.class)
i.putExtra("Image", bitmap);
startActivity(i)

And, in Second.class

Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) intent.getParcelableExtra("Image");

Have a look at here If you want to compress your Bitmap before sending to next activity just have a look at below -

Intent i = new Intent(this, NextActivity.class);
Bitmap b; // your bitmap
ByteArrayOutputStream bs = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 50, bs);
i.putExtra("byteArray", bs.toByteArray());
startActivity(i);

in your nextactivity -

if(getIntent().hasExtra("byteArray")) {
    ImageView previewThumbnail = new ImageView(this);
    Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(
                    getIntent().getByteArrayExtra("byteArray"),0,getIntent()
                    .getByteArrayExtra("byteArray").length);        
    previewThumbnail.setImageBitmap(b);
}

Answer 2

I have answered a similar question in this SO post. My solution will save the image in the internal storage of the device inaccessible by other apps(on unrooted phones). Then we can simply decode the file and show it in imageview. It prevents TranscationTooLarge exception as you cannot exceed 1mb limit of passing bundle.

Answer 3

I am searching for it so much and finally find answer in https://eazyprogramming.blogspot.com/2013/01/passing-image-between-activities.html#comment-form

in First Activity

Intent intent=new Intent(FirstClass.this, SecondClass.class);
Bundle bundle=new Bundle();
bundle.putInt("image",R.drawable.ic_launcher);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
startActivity(intent);

in Second Acticity:

Bundle bundle=this.getIntent().getExtras();
int pic=bundle.getInt("image");
v.setImageResource(pic);

another method: in First Activity:

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
byte[] b = extras.getByteArray("picture");
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(b, 0, b.length);
ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
image.setImageBitmap(bmp); 

in Second Acticity:

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();byte[] b = extras.getByteArray("picture");Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(b, 0, b.length);ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);

Answer 4

In your logcat it states

10-16 10:39:22.653: E/AndroidRuntime(339): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't compress a recycled bitmap
10-16 10:39:22.653: E/AndroidRuntime(339):  at android.graphics.Bitmap.checkRecycled(Bitmap.java:180)
10-16 10:39:22.653: E/AndroidRuntime(339):  at android.graphics.Bitmap.compress(Bitmap.java:572)

Your bitmap was recycled before it was passed to the ImageActivity. You could make the bitmap static so it wouldn't be recycled.

Answer 5

There are lots of ways :

1)

Bitmap implements Parcelable, so you could always pass it in the intent:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, NewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("BitmapImage", bitmap);

and retrieve it on the other end:

Intent intent = getIntent();
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) intent.getParcelableExtra("BitmapImage");

2)

Convert it to a Byte array before you add it to the intent, send it out, and decode.

//Convert to byte array

ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();

Intent in1 = new Intent(this, Activity2.class);
in1.putExtra("image",byteArray);

Then in Activity 2:

byte[] byteArray = getIntent().getByteArrayExtra("image");
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(byteArray, 0, byteArray.length);

Answer 6

You can use bundle to pass bitmap from one activity to another

Add your image into Byte array :

ArrayList<byte[]> image=new ArrayList<byte[]>();

Bundle b = new Bundle();
Intent it=new Intent(getBaseContext(),your.class);
b.putByteArray("image", image.get(position));
it.putExtras(b);
startActivity(it);

And get your image in on create of receiver activity from bundle
