Question

I am working on an application, in which I need to pick an image from sd card and show it in image view. Now I want the user to decrease/increase its width by clicking a button and then save it back to the sd card.

I have done the image picking and showing it on ui. But unable to find how to resize it.Can anyone please suggest me how to achieve it.

Answer 1

Just yesterday i have done this

File dir=Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM);
Bitmap b= BitmapFactory.decodeFile(PATH_ORIGINAL_IMAGE);
Bitmap out = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, 320, 480, false);

File file = new File(dir, "resize.png");
FileOutputStream fOut;
try {
    fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
    out.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fOut);
    fOut.flush();
    fOut.close();
    b.recycle();
    out.recycle();               
} catch (Exception e) {}

Also don’t forget to recycle your bitmaps: It will save memory.

You can also get path of new created file String: newPath=file.getAbsolutePath();
