Save bitmap to location

Question

I am working on a function to download an image from a web server, display it on the screen, and if the user wishes to keep the image, save it on the SD card in a certain fo

Answer 1

// |==| Create a PNG File from Bitmap :

void devImjFylFnc(String pthAndFylTtlVar, Bitmap iptBmjVar)
{
    try
    {
        FileOutputStream fylBytWrtrVar = new FileOutputStream(pthAndFylTtlVar);
        iptBmjVar.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fylBytWrtrVar);
        fylBytWrtrVar.close();
    }
    catch (Exception errVar) { errVar.printStackTrace(); }
}

// |==| Get Bimap from File :

Bitmap getBmjFrmFylFnc(String pthAndFylTtlVar)
{
    return BitmapFactory.decodeFile(pthAndFylTtlVar);
}

Answer 2

Here is the sample code for saving bitmap to file :

public static File savebitmap(Bitmap bmp) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 60, bytes);
    File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
            + File.separator + "testimage.jpg");
    f.createNewFile();
    FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
    fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
    fo.close();
    return f;
}

Now call this function to save the bitmap to internal memory.

File newfile = savebitmap(bitmap);

I hope it will help you. Happy codeing life.

Answer 3

Why not call the Bitmap.compress method with 100 (which sounds like it is lossless)?

Answer 4

The way I found to send PNG and transparency.

String file_path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() +
                    "/CustomDir";
File dir = new File(file_path);
if(!dir.exists())
  dir.mkdirs();

String format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss",
       java.util.Locale.getDefault()).format(new Date());

File file = new File(dir, format + ".png");
FileOutputStream fOut;
try {
        fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
        yourbitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 85, fOut);
        fOut.flush();
        fOut.close();
     } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
 }

Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);     
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "");
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Sharing something")));

Answer 5

try (FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename)) {
    bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out); // bmp is your Bitmap instance
    // PNG is a lossless format, the compression factor (100) is ignored
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Answer 6

Some new devices don't save bitmap So I explained a little more..

make sure you have added below Permission

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

and create a xml file under xml folder name provider_paths.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
    <external-path
        name="external_files"
        path="." />
</paths>

and in AndroidManifest under

<provider
            android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
        </provider>

then simply call saveBitmapFile(passYourBitmapHere)

public static void saveBitmapFile(Bitmap bitmap) throws IOException {
        File mediaFile = getOutputMediaFile();
        FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(mediaFile);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, getQualityNumber(bitmap), fileOutputStream);
        fileOutputStream.flush();
        fileOutputStream.close();
    }

where

File getOutputMediaFile() {
        File mediaStorageDir = new File(
                Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
                "easyTouchPro");
        if (mediaStorageDir.isDirectory()) {

            // Create a media file name
            String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss")
                    .format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
            String mCurrentPath = mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator
                            + "IMG_" + timeStamp + ".jpg";
            File mediaFile = new File(mCurrentPath);
            return mediaFile;
        } else { /// error handling for PIE devices..
            mediaStorageDir.delete();
            mediaStorageDir.mkdirs();
            galleryAddPic(mediaStorageDir);

            return (getOutputMediaFile());
        }
    }

and other methods

public static int getQualityNumber(Bitmap bitmap) {
        int size = bitmap.getByteCount();
        int percentage = 0;

        if (size > 500000 && size <= 800000) {
            percentage = 15;
        } else if (size > 800000 && size <= 1000000) {
            percentage = 20;
        } else if (size > 1000000 && size <= 1500000) {
            percentage = 25;
        } else if (size > 1500000 && size <= 2500000) {
            percentage = 27;
        } else if (size > 2500000 && size <= 3500000) {
            percentage = 30;
        } else if (size > 3500000 && size <= 4000000) {
            percentage = 40;
        } else if (size > 4000000 && size <= 5000000) {
            percentage = 50;
        } else if (size > 5000000) {
            percentage = 75;
        }

        return percentage;
    }

and

void galleryAddPic(File f) {
        Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent(
                "android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE");
        Uri contentUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
        mediaScanIntent.setData(contentUri);

        this.sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);
    }
