I have been working on my Photo Editor Android application. After capturing the image from the camera, I am resizing the image since there is a maximum size allowed to save the image in the Gallery/Photos of a phone
Following is the Java Activity code:
package com.example.photoeditor;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Environment;

import static android.Manifest.permission.CAMERA;
import static android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE;
import static android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE;
import static android.content.pm.PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
public class HomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private AdView mAdView;
private static final String TAG = "HomeActivity";
private static final int GALLERY_RESULT = 1;
private static final int CAMERA_RESULT = 2;
private static final String FILE_PROVIDER_AUTHORITY = "com.example.photoeditor";
private static final int CAMERA_PERMISSION_REQ_CODE = 1001;
private static final int STORAGE_PERMISSION_REQ_CODE = 1002;
private String mCapturedImagePath;
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
mAdView = (AdView)findViewById(R.id.adView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
}
public void openCamera(View view) {
// check for camera permission if not granted before
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, CAMERA) != PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
String[] cameraPermission = { CAMERA };
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, cameraPermission, CAMERA_PERMISSION_REQ_CODE);
} else {
dispatchImageCaptureIntent();
}
}
public void openGallery(View view) {
// check for storage permission if not granted before
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PERMISSION_GRANTED ||
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
String[] storagePermissions = { READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE };
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, storagePermissions, STORAGE_PERMISSION_REQ_CODE);
} else {
dispatchGalleryIntent();
}
}
private void dispatchGalleryIntent() {
Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, GALLERY_RESULT);
}
private void dispatchImageCaptureIntent() {
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (cameraIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (photoFile != null) {
Uri photoFileUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, FILE_PROVIDER_AUTHORITY, photoFile);
Log.d(TAG, "dispatchImageCaptureIntent:photoFileUri: " + photoFile.toString());
cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoFileUri);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_RESULT);
}
}
}
@Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions,
@NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
switch (requestCode) {
case CAMERA_PERMISSION_REQ_CODE:
if (grantResults[0] == PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
dispatchImageCaptureIntent();
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Required camera permission not granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
break;
case STORAGE_PERMISSION_REQ_CODE:
if (grantResults[0] == PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
dispatchGalleryIntent();
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Required storage permission not granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
break;
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unexpected request code");
}
}
private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
String timeStamp = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance().format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
File storageDir = getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File image = File.createTempFile(imageFileName, ".jpg", storageDir);
mCapturedImagePath = image.getAbsolutePath();
Log.d(TAG, "createImageFile: " + mCapturedImagePath);
return image;
}
private Bundle uriToBundle(Uri imageUri) {
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(MainActivity.IMAGE_URI, imageUri.toString());
return bundle;
}
@Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == GALLERY_RESULT) {
Uri imageUri = data.getData();
startActivity(MainActivity.getIntent(this, uriToBundle(Objects.requireNonNull(imageUri))));
} else if (requestCode == CAMERA_RESULT) {
File imageFile = new File(mCapturedImagePath);
Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mCapturedImagePath);
image = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(image, 100, 100, false);
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 60, bytes);
try {
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "filename.jpg");
boolean result;
result = file.createNewFile();
if (result) {
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(imageFile);
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
fo.close();
}
} catch(IOException ie) {
ie.printStackTrace();
}
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Image not loaded.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
public static Intent getIntent(Context context) {
return new Intent(context, HomeActivity.class);
}
}
So when I capture the image and then when the user is taken to edit the application, it doesn't, it takes me back to Home page again after capturing the image
Can you please tell me where am I going wrong ?
Thanks in advance
You forgot to call start activity on the condition of CAMERA_RESULT block at onActivityResult().
----- Edit 1 -----
After having a conversation with him, the problem is solved it by adding startActivity() on the condition of CAMERA_RESULT block at onActivityResult().
startActivity(MainActivity.getIntent(this, uriToBundle(Objects.requireNonNull(imageToUploadUri))));
Here's the code I fixed it, see comments in code for more information.
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == GALLERY_RESULT) {
Uri imageUri = data.getData();
startActivity(MainActivity.getIntent(this, uriToBundle(Objects.requireNonNull(imageUri))));
} else if (requestCode == CAMERA_RESULT) {
//Reducing Image Size
File imageFile = new File(mCapturedImagePath);
Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mCapturedImagePath);
image = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(image, 300, 300, false);
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
//This section is needed as you need to replace the image got from camera with reduced bitmap.
//So that you just only need to carry URI not the bitmap.
try {
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "filename.jpg");
boolean result;
result = file.createNewFile();
if (result) {
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(imageFile);
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
fo.close();
}
} catch(IOException ie) {
ie.printStackTrace();
}
// Here's the main point.
// You need to start MainActivity as bitmap has been processed.
startActivity(MainActivity.getIntent(this, uriToBundle(Objects.requireNonNull(imageToUploadUri))));
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Image not loaded.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
