In my app, I allow the user to pick a profile image from their gallery, like so:
When You click the first option, on my Android 5.0 device, I get this:
If I use the normal Gallery app that is based off the AOSP project, everything works fine and dandy. However, the Photo's app appears to use a different intent.
Here is how I handle code for the normal gallery:
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(
Intent.ACTION_PICK,
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("crop", "true");
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputX", 300);
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputY", 300);
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("scale", true);
photoPickerIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, getTempUri());
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputFormat",
Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.toString());
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
And then the intent result handler:
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE
&& resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (data != null) {
tempFile = getTempFile();
filePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/"
+ "temporary_holder.jpg";
Log.d("LOAD REQUEST filePath", filePath);
Bitmap selectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
iPP.setImageBitmap(selectedImage);
}
imagePath = filePath;
new UploadImage().execute();
}
}
Some of the helper functions from above:
private static Uri getTempUri() {
return Uri.fromFile(getTempFile());
}
private static File getTempFile() {
if (Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(
Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
"temporary_holder.jpg");
try {
file.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return file;
}
return null;
}
Some of that is probably not needed to show but I included it all in case it is interfering.
When I use Google Photos to pick a photo, my ImageView is blank (instead of filling with selected pick). The image is not selected and I can't go to the manual cropping view like I have it set with the Gallery. So basically, nothing happens.
NEW CODE IN RESPONSE TO ANSWER
photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("crop", "true");
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputX", 300);
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputY", 300);
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("scale", true);
photoPickerIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, getTempUri());
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputFormat",
Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.toString());
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (data != null) {
Log.i("data", data.toString());
switch (requestCode) {
case RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE:
Log.i("RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE", "MARK");
// Received an image from the picker, now send an Intent for cropping
final String CROP_ACTION = "com.android.camera.action.CROP";
Intent photoCropIntent = new Intent(CROP_ACTION);
photoCropIntent.putExtra("crop", "true");
photoCropIntent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
photoCropIntent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
photoCropIntent.putExtra("outputX", 300);
photoCropIntent.putExtra("outputY", 300);
photoCropIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, getTempUri());
photoCropIntent.putExtra("outputFormat",
Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.toString());
photoCropIntent.setData(data.getData());
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, RESULT_CROP_IMAGE);
break;
case RESULT_CROP_IMAGE:
Log.i("RESULT_CROP_IMAGE", "MARK");
tempFile = getTempFile();
imagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + "temporary_holder.jpg";
Log.i("imagePath", imagePath);
Uri selectedImageURI = data.getData();
InputStream image_stream;
try {
image_stream = getActivity().getContentResolver().openInputStream(selectedImageURI);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(image_stream);
iPP.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
new UploadImage().execute();
break;
default:
// Handle default case
}
}
}
}
The above code isn't working either. I tried to make it resemble the answer below. What happens is:
I click "Choose from Gallery". And it does not give me a choice anymore, now it opens directly from the stock Gallery (that is not a big deal). I click on the image, and it ... appears to start the same intent over again -- it brings back the gallery wanting me to pick another image: instead of the Cropping Activity. Then after the second time, it will set my ImageView with the selected file.
