How to reduce picture size?

Question

I want to send photo taken from camera to server. But it's size around 1M and i believe it is two much. Thus i want to reduce size of the photo. Below method which I am using.
saveFile - simply save bitmap to file and return path to it.
calculateInSampleSize returns inSampleSize to adjust photo dementions to chosen.
decodeSampledBitmapFromResource decodes birmap from file and rebuild it with new parameters.
Evrything is nice but seems not working. Dimentions of small3.png are 1240*768*24 and size is still ~1M.

I call it with

photo = saveFile(decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(picturePath,
                    800, 800),3);

methods

public String saveFile(Bitmap bm,int id) {
        String file_path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                .getAbsolutePath() + "/Mk";
        File dir = new File(file_path);
        if (!dir.exists())
            dir.mkdirs();
        File file = new File(dir, "smaller" + id + ".png");
        FileOutputStream fOut;
        try {
            fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
            bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 85, fOut);
            fOut.flush();
            fOut.close();


            }
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


        return file.getPath();

    }

    public static int calculateInSampleSize(BitmapFactory.Options options,
            int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
        // Raw height and width of image
        final int height = options.outHeight;
        final int width = options.outWidth;
        int inSampleSize = 1;

        if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {

            // Calculate ratios of height and width to requested height and
            // width
            final int heightRatio = Math.round((float) height
                    / (float) reqHeight);
            final int widthRatio = Math.round((float) width / (float) reqWidth);

            // Choose the smallest ratio as inSampleSize value, this will
            // guarantee
            // a final image with both dimensions larger than or equal to the
            // requested height and width.
            inSampleSize = heightRatio < widthRatio ? heightRatio : widthRatio;
        }

        return inSampleSize;
    }
public static Bitmap decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(String path,
            int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
        Log.d("path", path);
        // First decode with inJustDecodeBounds=true to check dimensions
        final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
        BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, options);

        // Calculate inSampleSize
        options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, reqWidth,
                reqHeight);

        // Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
        return BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, options);
    }

Answer 1

Why you are writing the image two times just do it in all one time

What i do

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 4;

Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile({ImagePath}, options);
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream({ImagePath});
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fileOutputStream);
myBitmapClose.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, imageQuality, bos);
if (bos != null) {
    bos.flush();
    bos.close();
}
if (fileOutputStream != null) {
    fileOutputStream.flush();
    fileOutputStream.close();
}

It will definitely compress Mind the line

 myBitmapClose.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, imageQuality, bos);

where set imageCompression type CompressFormat.JPEG

Answer 2

Thats my code...I want to reduce the size of image where path is String.

String pics=(arraylist.get(position).getImage()); 
try{ 
   BitmapFactory.Options op = new BitmapFactory.Options(); 
   op.inJustDecodeBounds = true; 
   //op.inSampleSize = 20; op.outWidth = 25; 
   op.outHeight = 35; 
   bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(pics); 
   image.setImageBitmap(bmp); 
 }catch(Exception e) {
 }
