Android: Rotate image in imageview by an angle

Question

I am using the following code to rotate a image in ImageView by an angle. Is there any simpler and less complex method available.

ImageView iv = (ImageView)f         


        

Answer 1

This is my implementation of RotatableImageView. Usage is very easy: just copy attrs.xml and RotatableImageView.java into your project and add RotatableImageView to your layout. Set desired rotation angle using example:angle parameter.

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:example="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.example"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <com.example.views.RotatableImageView
        android:id="@+id/layout_example_image"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:adjustViewBounds="true"
        android:scaleType="fitCenter"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_layout_arrow"
        example:angle="180" />
</FrameLayout>

If you have some problems with displaying image, try change code in RotatableImageView.onDraw() method or use draw() method instead.

Answer 2

mImageView.setRotation(angle) with API>=11

Answer 3

Another possible solution is to create your own custom Image view(say RotateableImageView extends ImageView )...and override the onDraw() to rotate either the canvas/bitmaps before redering on to the canvas.Don't forget to restore the canvas back.

But if you are going to rotate only a single instance of image view,your solution should be good enough.

Answer 4

You can simply use rotation atribute of ImageView

Below is the attribute from ImageView with details from Android source

<!-- rotation of the view, in degrees. -->
<attr name="rotation" format="float" />

Answer 5

Sadly, I don't think there is. The Matrix class is responsible for all image manipulations, whether it's rotating, shrinking/growing, skewing, etc.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Matrix.html

My apologies, but I can't think of an alternative. Maybe someone else might be able to, but the times I've had to manipulate an image I've used a Matrix.

Best of luck!

Try this code 100% working;

On rotate button click write this code:

        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            if(bitmap==null){
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image photo is not yet set", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
            else {
                Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
                ivImageProduct.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.MATRIX);   //required
                matrix.postRotate(90,ivImageProduct.getDrawable().getBounds().width()/2,ivImageProduct.getDrawable().getBounds().height()/2);
                Bitmap bmp=Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0,bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
                bitmap.recycle();
                bitmap=bmp;
                ivImageProduct.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            }
        }
