A demonstration of three Java functions for scaling a photo's bitmap and saving it to a file without contorting the photo's dimensions. This is in response to this stackoverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16060143/android-take-photo-and-resize-it-before-saving-on-sd-card/36210688#36210688
public class PhotoScalerAndSaver {
public static main(String[] args) {
//TODO: create your photo here
//Convert your photo to a bitmap
Bitmap photoBm = (Bitmap) "your Bitmap image";
//scale and save the photo to a file on the directory
saveScaledPhotoToFile(Bitmap photoBm)
}
public static saveScaledPhotoToFile(Bitmap photoBm) {
//get its orginal dimensions
int bmOriginalWidth = photoBm.getWidth();
int bmOriginalHeight = photoBm.getHeight();
double originalWidthToHeightRatio = 1.0 * bmOriginalWidth / bmOriginalHeight;
double originalHeightToWidthRatio = 1.0 * bmOriginalHeight / bmOriginalWidth;
//choose a maximum height
int maxHeight = 1024;
//choose a max width
int maxWidth = 1024;
//call the method to get the scaled bitmap
photoBm = getScaledBitmap(photoBm, bmOriginalWidth, bmOriginalHeight,
originalWidthToHeightRatio, originalHeightToWidthRatio,
maxHeight, maxWidth);
/**********THE REST OF THIS IS FROM Prabu's answer*******/
//create a byte array output stream to hold the photo's bytes
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
//compress the photo's bytes into the byte array output stream
photoBm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 40, bytes);
//construct a File object to save the scaled file to
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ File.separator + "Imagename.jpg");
//create the file
f.createNewFile();
//create an FileOutputStream on the created file
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
//write the photo's bytes to the file
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
//finish by closing the FileOutputStream
fo.close();
}
