How to get Bitmap from an Uri?

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

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.

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) } 

IMPORTANT: ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap read EXIF orientation, Media.getBitmap doesn't

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 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(); } } 

This is the easiest solution:

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

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(); } 

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

Bitmap bitmap = null; ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver(); try { if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 28) { bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(contentResolver, imageUri); } else { ImageDecoder.Source source = ImageDecoder.createSource(contentResolver, imageUri); bitmap = ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap(source); } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } 

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

by using glide library you can get bitmap from uri,

almost in samsung devices image rotated when and we have to check rotation using exifinterface

but using glide no need to check rotation, image always correctly received.

in kotlin you can get bitmap as

CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch { var bitmap = Glide.with(context).asBitmap().load(imageUri).submit().get()//this is synchronous approach } 

I am using this dependency

api 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.12.0' kapt 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.12.0' 

I don't see the right answer, so I'll put this extension here

fun Context.getBitmap(uri: Uri): Bitmap = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P) ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap(ImageDecoder.createSource(this.contentResolver, uri)) else MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.contentResolver, uri) 

Example in code:

val bitmap = context.getBitmap(uri) 

Tip: You can also update the extension for activity/fragment, so you don't need to write the context at all. A little more synth sugar)

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) } 

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

ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver(); try (InputStream input = cr.openInputStream(url)) { Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input); } 

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; } } 

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 ) } 

val bitmap = context.contentResolver.openInputStream(uri).use { data -> BitmapFactory.decodeStream(data) } 

You need to open inputstream with

use

as it will automatically close the stream after operation complete.

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) }

* For getting bitmap from uri. Work for me perfectly. public static Bitmap decodeUriToBitmap(Context mContext, Uri sendUri) { Bitmap getBitmap = null; try { InputStream image_stream; try { image_stream = mContext.getContentResolver().openInputStream(sendUri); getBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(image_stream); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return getBitmap; } 

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(); } } } 

A recurring problem that I faced using the solutions provided here is:

Failed to find provider info for com.samsung.systemui.navillera.navilleraprovider

This will prevent your bitmap from being loaded.

I tried this instead and it works! Praise God.

The explanation is that the uri provided needs to be converted into a file path.

Bitmap b1 = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), Uri.fromFile(new File(uri1.toString())));
