Dialog to pick image from gallery or from camera
The code below can be used for taking a photo and for picking a photo. Just show a dialog with two options and upon selection, use the appropriate code.
To take picture from camera:
Intent takePicture = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(takePicture, 0);//zero can be replaced with any action code (called requestCode)
To pick photo from gallery:
Intent pickPhoto = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(pickPhoto , 1);//one can be replaced with any action code
onActivityResult code:
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();
imageview.setImageURI(selectedImage);
}
break;
case 1:
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
Uri selectedImage = imageReturnedIntent.getData();
imageview.setImageURI(selectedImage);
}
break;
}
}
Finally add this permission in the manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
I have merged some solutions to make a complete util for picking an image from Gallery or Camera. These are the features of ImagePicker util gist (also in a Github lib):
- Merged intents for Gallery and Camera resquests.
- Resize selected big images (e.g.: 2500 x 1600)
- Rotate image if necesary
Screenshot:
Edit: Here is a fragment of code to get a merged Intent for Gallery and Camera apps together. You can see the full code at ImagePicker util gist (also in a Github lib):
public static Intent getPickImageIntent(Context context) {
Intent chooserIntent = null;
List<Intent> intentList = new ArrayList<>();
Intent pickIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
Intent takePhotoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
takePhotoIntent.putExtra("return-data", true);
takePhotoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(getTempFile(context)));
intentList = addIntentsToList(context, intentList, pickIntent);
intentList = addIntentsToList(context, intentList, takePhotoIntent);
if (intentList.size() > 0) {
chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(intentList.remove(intentList.size() - 1),
context.getString(R.string.pick_image_intent_text));
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentList.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));
}
return chooserIntent;
}
private static List<Intent> addIntentsToList(Context context, List<Intent> list, Intent intent) {
List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : resInfo) {
String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
Intent targetedIntent = new Intent(intent);
targetedIntent.setPackage(packageName);
list.add(targetedIntent);
}
return list;
}
You can implement this code to select image from gallery or camera :-
private ImageView imageview;
private Button btnSelectImage;
private Bitmap bitmap;
private File destination = null;
private InputStream inputStreamImg;
private String imgPath = null;
private final int PICK_IMAGE_CAMERA = 1, PICK_IMAGE_GALLERY = 2;
Now on button click event, you can able to call your method of select Image. This is inside activity's onCreate.
imageview = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageview);
btnSelectImage = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSelectImage);
//OnbtnSelectImage click event...
btnSelectImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
selectImage();
}
});
Outside of your activity's oncreate.
// Select image from camera and gallery
private void selectImage() {
try {
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
int hasPerm = pm.checkPermission(Manifest.permission.CAMERA, getPackageName());
if (hasPerm == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
final CharSequence[] options = {"Take Photo", "Choose From Gallery","Cancel"};
android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog.Builder builder = new android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
builder.setTitle("Select Option");
builder.setItems(options, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
if (options[item].equals("Take Photo")) {
dialog.dismiss();
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_IMAGE_CAMERA);
} else if (options[item].equals("Choose From Gallery")) {
dialog.dismiss();
Intent pickPhoto = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(pickPhoto, PICK_IMAGE_GALLERY);
} else if (options[item].equals("Cancel")) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
});
builder.show();
} else
Toast.makeText(this, "Camera Permission error", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Camera Permission error", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
inputStreamImg = null;
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_CAMERA) {
try {
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
bitmap = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 50, bytes);
Log.e("Activity", "Pick from Camera::>>> ");
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss", Locale.getDefault()).format(new Date());
destination = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" +
getString(R.string.app_name), "IMG_" + timeStamp + ".jpg");
FileOutputStream fo;
try {
destination.createNewFile();
fo = new FileOutputStream(destination);
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
fo.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
imgPath = destination.getAbsolutePath();
imageview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_GALLERY) {
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
try {
bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), selectedImage);
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 50, bytes);
Log.e("Activity", "Pick from Gallery::>>> ");
imgPath = getRealPathFromURI(selectedImage);
destination = new File(imgPath.toString());
imageview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = {MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
Atlast, finally add the camera and write external storage permission to AndroidManifest.xml
It works for me greatly, hope it will also works for you.
This library makes it simple.
Just Call:
PickImageDialog.on(MainActivity.this, new PickSetup(BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID));
Then make your Activity implement IPickResult and override this below method.
@Override
public void onPickResult(PickResult r) {
if (r.getError() == null) {
imageView.setImageBitmap(r.getBitmap());
//or
imageView.setImageURI(r.getUri());
} else {
//Handle possible errors
//TODO: do what you have to do with r.getError();
}
}
