Display jpg image from intent in imageview

Question

How to display an Image received from an \"android.intent.action.SEND\" in an imageview? The user selects my app from the list of apps to share an imag

Answer 1

Try this

 BitMap thumnail= (Bitmap) getIntent().getExtras().getParcelable("data");
 yourImageViewId.setImageBitmap(receiptimage);

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Bitmap implements Parcelable interface. So to pass it use

intent.putExtra("bitmap", bitmap);

and to retrieve it use:

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

and use ImageView.setImageBitmap().

EDIT: see Receiving Content from Other Apps

Answer 3

You are receving Image in Intent, So you have to update your Manifest as:

<activity android:name=".Your_Activity" >
    ...
    ...
    <intent-filter>
    ...
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="image/*" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity

Then Activity needs:

void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
// Get intent, action and MIME type
Intent intent = getIntent();
String action = intent.getAction();
String type = intent.getType();

if (Intent.ACTION_SEND.equals(action) && type != null) {
    if (type.startsWith("image/")) {
        Uri imageUri = (Uri) intent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);
        if (imageUri != null) {
            YourImageView.setImageUri(imageUri);
        }
    }
