Resize a large bitmap file to scaled output file on Android

Question

I have a large bitmap  say 3888x2592  in a file  Now  I want to resize that bitmap to 800x533 and save it to another file  I normally would scale the bitmap by calling Bitmap createBitmap method but it needs a source bitmap as the first argument  which I can t provide because loading the original image into a Bitmap object would of course exceed the memory  see here  for example    I also can t read the bitmap with  for example  BitmapFactory decodeFile file  options   providing a BitmapFactory Options inSampleSize  because I want to resize it to an exact width and height  Using inSampleSize would resize the bitmap to 972x648  if I use inSampleSize 4  or to 778x518  if I use inSampleSize 5  which isn t even a power of 2    I would also like to avoid reading the image using inSampleSize with  for example  972x648 in a first step and then resizing it to exactly 800x533 in a second step  because the quality would be poor compared to a direct resizing of the original image   To sum up my question  Is there a way to read a large image file with 10MP or more and save it to a new image file  resized to a specific new width and height  without getting an OutOfMemory exception   I also tried BitmapFactory decodeFile file  options  and setting the Options outHeight and Options outWidth values manually to 800 and 533  but it doesn t work that way

To scale the image the  correct  way  without skipping any pixels  you d have to hook into the image decoder to perform the down-sampling row by row  Android  and the Skia library that underlies it  provides no such hooks  so you d have to roll your own  Assuming you re talking jpeg images  your best bet would be to use libjpeg directly  in C   Given the complexities involved  using the two-step subsample-then-rescale is probably best for image-preview type apps

Taking into account that you want to resize to exact size and want to keep as much quality as needed I think you should try this    Find out the size of the resized image with call of BitmapFactory decodeFile and providing the checkSizeOptions inJustDecodeBounds Calculate the maximum possible inSampleSize you can use on your device to not exceed the memory  bitmapSizeInBytes   2 width height  Generally for your picture inSampleSize 2 would be fine since you will need only 2 1944x1296  4 8Mb  which should feet in memory Use BitmapFactory decodeFile with inSampleSize to load the Bitmap Scale the bitmap to exact size     Motivation  multiple-steps scaling could give you higher quality picture  however there is no guarantee that it will work better than using high inSampleSize   Actually  I think that you also can use inSampleSize like 5  not pow of 2  to have direct scaling in one operation  Or just use 4 and then you can just use that image in UI  if you send it to server - than you can do scaling to exact size on server side which allow you to use advanced scaling techniques   Notes  if the Bitmap loaded in step-3 is at least 4 times larger  so the 4 targetWidth  lt  width  you probably can use several resizing to achieve better quality   at least that works in generic java  in android you don t have the option to specify the interpolation used for scaling http   today java net pub a today 2007 04 03 perils-of-image-getscaledinstance html

If you absolutely want to do one step resize you could probably load entire bitmap if android largeHeap   true but as you can see this is not really advisable   From docs  android largeHeap Whether your application s processes should be created with a large Dalvik heap  This applies to all processes created for the application  It only applies to the first application loaded into a process  if you re using a shared user ID to allow multiple applications to use a process  they all must use this option consistently or they will have unpredictable results  Most apps should not need this and should instead focus on reducing their overall memory usage for improved performance  Enabling this also does not guarantee a fixed increase in available memory  because some devices are constrained by their total available memory

No   I d love for someone to correct me  but I accepted the load resize approach you tried as a compromise   Here are the steps for anyone browsing    Calculate the maximum possible inSampleSize that still yields an image larger than your target  Load the image using BitmapFactory decodeFile file  options   passing inSampleSize as an option  Resize to the desired dimensions using Bitmap createScaledBitmap

When i have large bitmaps and i want to decode them resized i use the following  BitmapFactory Options options   new BitmapFactory Options    InputStream is   null  is   new FileInputStream path to file   BitmapFactory decodeStream is null options   is close    is   new FileInputStream path to file      here w and h are the desired width and height options inSampleSize   Math max options outWidth w  options outHeight h      bitmap is the resized bitmap Bitmap bitmap   BitmapFactory decodeStream is null options

I don t know if my solution is best practice  but I achieved loading a bitmap with my desired scaling by using the inDensity and inTargetDensity options  inDensity is 0 initially when not loading a drawable resource  so this approach is for loading non resource images   The variables imageUri  maxImageSideLength and context are parameters of my method  I posted only the method implementation without the wrapping AsyncTask for clarity               ContentResolver resolver   context getContentResolver                InputStream is              try                   is   resolver openInputStream imageUri                 catch  FileNotFoundException e                    Log e TAG   Image not found    e                   return null                            Options opts   new Options                opts inJustDecodeBounds   true              BitmapFactory decodeStream is  null  opts                   scale the image             float maxSideLength   maxImageSideLength              float scaleFactor   Math min maxSideLength   opts outWidth  maxSideLength   opts outHeight                  do not upscale              if  scaleFactor  lt  1                    opts inDensity   10000                  opts inTargetDensity    int    float  opts inDensity   scaleFactor                             opts inJustDecodeBounds   false               try                   is close                  catch  IOException e                       ignore                           try                   is   resolver openInputStream imageUri                 catch  FileNotFoundException e                    Log e TAG   Image not found    e                   return null                            Bitmap bitmap   BitmapFactory decodeStream is  null  opts               try                   is close                  catch  IOException e                       ignore                            return bitmap

Acknowledging the other excellent answer so far  the best code I ve seen yet for this is in the documentation for the photo taking tool   See the section entitled  Decode a Scaled Image    http   developer android com training camera photobasics html  The solution it proposes is a resize then scale solution like the others here  but it s quite neat   I ve copied the code below as a ready-to-go function for convenience   private void setPic String imagePath  ImageView destination        int targetW   destination getWidth        int targetH   destination getHeight           Get the dimensions of the bitmap     BitmapFactory Options bmOptions   new BitmapFactory Options        bmOptions inJustDecodeBounds   true      BitmapFactory decodeFile imagePath  bmOptions       int photoW   bmOptions outWidth      int photoH   bmOptions outHeight          Determine how much to scale down the image     int scaleFactor   Math min photoW targetW  photoH targetH           Decode the image file into a Bitmap sized to fill the View     bmOptions inJustDecodeBounds   false      bmOptions inSampleSize   scaleFactor      bmOptions inPurgeable   true       Bitmap bitmap   BitmapFactory decodeFile imagePath  bmOptions       destination setImageBitmap bitmap
