Question

I am using an activity to display a Full image and user has a button to save it.

Image is being loaded in imageview from URL where I have hosted image on internet.

I am saving an image as PNG file.

After saving image its quality is reduced. I know PNG is not lossless, but is there any way I can save an image as it is without any compromise with quality or resolution??

Here is the code:

buttonSave.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener()
{
    public void onClick(View arg0) 
    {
        fullSizeImage.buildDrawingCache();
        Bitmap bm=fullSizeImage.getDrawingCache();
        String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
        File myDir = new File(root + File.separator + "MyWallpapers");
        if(!myDir.exists())
        {
            myDir.mkdir();
        }
        String fname = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date())+".png";
        File file = new File (myDir, fname);
        /*if (file.exists ()) file.delete (); */
        try 
        {
            //FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
            /*FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);

            bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);*/

            ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, bytes);

            file.createNewFile();
            //write the bytes in file
            FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(file);
            fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
            bytes.flush();
            bytes.close();
            /*out.flush();
            out.close();*/
            Toast.makeText(FullSizeImageDisplay.this, "Wallpaper Saved in SDcard/MyWallpapers folder",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            String[] paths = {root + File.separator + "MyWallpapers"};

            String[] mediaType = {"image/png"};
            MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(FullSizeImageDisplay.this, paths, mediaType, null);
            ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
            values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, file.getAbsolutePath());
            values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/png"); 

            getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
        } 
        catch (Exception e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        OutputStream fOut = null;
        Uri outputFileUri;

        }
    });
}

Answer 1

fullSizeImage.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap bm=fullSizeImage.getDrawingCache();

Where fullSizeImage is may be an Image View.

I see problem is arising while you load the image. You must have used something like BitmapFactory.Options

Make following changes

BitmapFactory.decodeStream(<param1>,param2,null);
