Question

First time I post a question, so here it goes.
I want to push on a button, so it opens the gallery, pick a picture, then shows it somewhere on the screen (layout).

I got this far by now:

public void FotoKiezen(View v) {
    Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
    photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
    startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, 1);
}

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    switch (requestCode) {
    case 1:
     {
      if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
      {
        Uri photoUri = data.getData();
        if (photoUri != null)
        {
        try {
              String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
              Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(photoUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null); 
         cursor.moveToFirst();
     int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
     String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
     cursor.close();
     Bitmap bMap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
     ImageView.setImageBitmap(bMap);


     }catch(Exception e)
      {}
      }
    }// resultCode
    }// case 1
    }// switch, request code
}// public void onActivityResult

There is some other code above it too, but here somewhere is the problem.

I get an error on the line ImageView.setImageBitmap(bMap);
The error:

Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method setImageBitmap(Bitmap) from the type ImageView

I searched a lot on the internet, and tried many things, but I can’t resolve it.
Maybe it is really easy and I just don’t see it.

I am beginner at Java android programming, used to program in C++.
So also some explanation about the error would be very nice 😀

Answer 1

You must create the object of ImageView class? For example:

ImageView img = new ImageView(this);
img.setImageBitmap(bMap);

or

ImageView img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.<your image view id>);
img.setImageBitmap(bMap);
