[android] How to get Bitmap from an Uri?

How to get a Bitmap object from an Uri (if I succeed to store it in /data/data/MYFOLDER/myimage.png or file///data/data/MYFOLDER/myimage.png) to use it in my application?

Does anyone have an idea on how to accomplish this?

you can do this structure:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent imageReturnedIntent) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, imageReturnedIntent);
    switch(requestCode) {
        case 0:
            if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
                    Uri selectedImage = imageReturnedIntent.getData();
                    Bundle extras = imageReturnedIntent.getExtras();
                    bitmap = extras.getParcelable("data");
            }
            break;
   }

by this you can easily convert a uri to bitmap. hope help u.

(KOTLIN) So, as of April 7th, 2020 none of the above mentioned options worked, but here's what worked for me:

1. If you want to store the bitmap in a val and set an imageView with it, use this:

   val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(currentPhotoPath).also { bitmap -> imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) }

2. If you just want to set the bitmap to and imageView, use this:

   BitmapFactory.decodeFile(currentPhotoPath).also { bitmap -> imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) }

Full method to get image uri from mobile gallery.

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

  if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null && data.getData() != null) {
                Uri filePath = data.getData();

     try { //Getting the Bitmap from Gallery
           Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), filePath);
           rbitmap = getResizedBitmap(bitmap, 250);//Setting the Bitmap to ImageView
           serImage = getStringImage(rbitmap);
           imageViewUserImage.setImageBitmap(rbitmap);
      } catch (IOException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
      }


   }
}

It seems that MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap was deprecated in API 29. The recommended way is to use ImageDecoder.createSource which was added in API 28.

Here's how getting the bitmap would be done:

val bitmap = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P) {
    ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap(ImageDecoder.createSource(requireContext().contentResolver, imageUri))
} else {
    MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(requireContext().contentResolver, imageUri)
}

You can retrieve bitmap from uri like this

Bitmap bitmap = null;
try {
    bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imageUri);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

This is the easiest solution:

Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), uri);

Uri imgUri = data.getData();
Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imgUri);

private void uriToBitmap(Uri selectedFileUri) {
    try {
        ParcelFileDescriptor parcelFileDescriptor =
                getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(selectedFileUri, "r");
        FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = parcelFileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor();
        Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFileDescriptor(fileDescriptor);

        parcelFileDescriptor.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

  InputStream imageStream = null;
    try {
        imageStream = getContext().getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    final Bitmap selectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);

Here's the correct way of doing it, keeping tabs on memory usage as well:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
  if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
  {
    Uri imageUri = data.getData();
    Bitmap bitmap = getThumbnail(imageUri);
  }
}

public static Bitmap getThumbnail(Uri uri) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException{
  InputStream input = this.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

  BitmapFactory.Options onlyBoundsOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
  onlyBoundsOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
  onlyBoundsOptions.inDither=true;//optional
  onlyBoundsOptions.inPreferredConfig=Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;//optional
  BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input, null, onlyBoundsOptions);
  input.close();

  if ((onlyBoundsOptions.outWidth == -1) || (onlyBoundsOptions.outHeight == -1)) {
    return null;
  }

  int originalSize = (onlyBoundsOptions.outHeight > onlyBoundsOptions.outWidth) ? onlyBoundsOptions.outHeight : onlyBoundsOptions.outWidth;

  double ratio = (originalSize > THUMBNAIL_SIZE) ? (originalSize / THUMBNAIL_SIZE) : 1.0;

  BitmapFactory.Options bitmapOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
  bitmapOptions.inSampleSize = getPowerOfTwoForSampleRatio(ratio);
  bitmapOptions.inDither = true; //optional
  bitmapOptions.inPreferredConfig=Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;//
  input = this.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
  Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input, null, bitmapOptions);
  input.close();
  return bitmap;
}

private static int getPowerOfTwoForSampleRatio(double ratio){
  int k = Integer.highestOneBit((int)Math.floor(ratio));
  if(k==0) return 1;
  else return k;
}

The getBitmap() call from Mark Ingram's post also calls the decodeStream(), so you don't lose any functionality.

I have try a lot of ways. this work for me perfectly.

If you choose pictrue from Gallery. You need to be ware of getting Uri from intent.clipdata or intent.data, because one of them may be null in different version.

  private fun onChoosePicture(data: Intent?):Bitmap {
        data?.let {
            var fileUri:Uri? = null

              data.clipData?.let {clip->
                  if(clip.itemCount>0){
                      fileUri = clip.getItemAt(0).uri
                  }
              }
            it.data?.let {uri->
                fileUri = uri
            }


               return MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.contentResolver, fileUri )
}

try
{
    Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(c.getContentResolver() , Uri.parse(paths));
}
catch (Exception e) 
{
    //handle exception
}

and yes path must be in a format of like this

file:///mnt/sdcard/filename.jpg

private fun setImage(view: ImageView, uri: Uri) {
        val stream = contentResolver.openInputStream(uri)
        val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(stream)
        view.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
}

Use startActivityForResult metod like below

        startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK).setType("image/*"), PICK_IMAGE);

And you can get result like this:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (resultCode != RESULT_OK) {
        return;
    }
    switch (requestCode) {
        case PICK_IMAGE:
            Uri imageUri = data.getData();
            try {
                Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imageUri);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
         break;
    }
}

Here's the correct way of doing it:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
    {
        Uri imageUri = data.getData();
        Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imageUri);
    }
}

If you need to load very large images, the following code will load it in in tiles (avoiding large memory allocations):

BitmapRegionDecoder decoder = BitmapRegionDecoder.newInstance(myStream, false);  
Bitmap region = decoder.decodeRegion(new Rect(10, 10, 50, 50), null);

See the answer here

Inset of getBitmap which is depricated now I use the following approach in Kotlin

PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST ->
    data?.data?.let {
        val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(contentResolver.openInputStream(it))
        imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
    }
