[android] Android Saving created bitmap to directory on sd card

I created a bitmap and now i want to save that bitmap to a directory somewhere. Can anyone show me how this is done. Thanks

FileInputStream in;
          BufferedInputStream buf;
           try {
                  in = new FileInputStream("/mnt/sdcard/dcim/Camera/2010-11-16_18-57-18_989.jpg");
                  buf = new BufferedInputStream(in);
                  Bitmap _bitmapPreScale = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(buf);
                  int oldWidth = _bitmapPreScale.getWidth();
                  int oldHeight = _bitmapPreScale.getHeight();
                  int newWidth = 2592; 
                  int newHeight = 1936;

                  float scaleWidth = ((float) newWidth) / oldWidth;
                  float scaleHeight = ((float) newHeight) / oldHeight;

                  Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
               // resize the bit map
                  matrix.postScale(scaleWidth, scaleHeight);
                  Bitmap _bitmapScaled = Bitmap.createBitmap(_bitmapPreScale, 0, 0,  oldWidth, oldHeight, matrix, true);

(I want to save _bitmapScaled to a folder on my SD card)

You can also try this.

File file = new File(strDirectoy,imgname);
OutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 85, fOut);
fOut.flush();
fOut.close();
MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(),file.getAbsolutePath(),file.getName(),file.getName());

just change the extension to .bmp.

Do this:

ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
_bitmapScaled.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 40, bytes);

//you can create a new file name "test.BMP" in sdcard folder.
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                        + File.separator + "test.bmp")

It'll sound that I'm just fooling around, but try it once and it'll get saved in BMP format. Cheers!

Pass bitmap to the saveImage Method, It will save your bitmap in the name of a saveBitmap, inside created test folder.

private void saveImage(Bitmap data) {
                    File createFolder = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES),"test");
                    if(!createFolder.exists())
                    createFolder.mkdir();
                    File saveImage = new File(createFolder,"saveBitmap.jpg");
                    try {
                        OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(saveImage);
                        data.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,100,outputStream);
                        outputStream.flush();
                        outputStream.close();
                    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }

and use this:

  saveImage(bitmap);

This answer is an update with a little more consideration for OOM and various other leaks.

Assumes you have a directory intended as the destination and a name String already defined.

    File destination = new File(directory.getPath() + File.separatorChar + filename);

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

    FileOutputStream fo = null;
    try {
        destination.createNewFile();

        fo = new FileOutputStream(destination);
        fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
    } catch (IOException e) {

    } finally {
        try {
            fo.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {}
    }

_bitmapScaled.compress() should do the trick. Check out the docs: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html#compress(android.graphics.Bitmap.CompressFormat, int, java.io.OutputStream)
