Scale image without losing image quality did not work

Question

Does anyone know how to scale the bitmap image without losing the image quality ? Currently I facing this problem , where the size of selected image maybe too big caused the app return to another activity.

So now I tried using this method to scale the selected image without losing its quality. I get the code from here .

 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
                                    Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        switch (requestCode) {
            case RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE:
                if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK & null != data) {
                    Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
                    String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
                    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver()
                            .query(selectedImage, filePathColumn, null, null,
                                    null);
                    cursor.moveToFirst();
                    int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
                    String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
                    cursor.close();
                    Bitmap a = (BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath));
                    photo = scaleBitmap(a, 200, 200);
                    imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
                }
                break;
}

  public static Bitmap scaleBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int newWidth, int newHeight) {
        Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(newWidth, newHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

        float scaleX = newWidth / (float) bitmap.getWidth();
        float scaleY = newHeight / (float) bitmap.getHeight();
        float pivotX = 0;
        float pivotY = 0;

        Matrix scaleMatrix = new Matrix();
        scaleMatrix.setScale(scaleX, scaleY, pivotX, pivotY);

        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(scaledBitmap);
        canvas.setMatrix(scaleMatrix);
        canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, new Paint(Paint.FILTER_BITMAP_FLAG));

        return scaledBitmap;
    }

The answer seems helpful for most of the people, but why it doesn't work for me ? Have I missed anything?

selected image display on imageView

Answer 1

Please try this

public Bitmap scaleBitmap(Bitmap bitmap,int newWidth,int newHeight) {    
    Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(newWidth, newHeight, Config.ARGB_8888);

    float ratioX = newWidth / (float) bitmap.getWidth();
    float ratioY = newHeight / (float) bitmap.getHeight();
    float middleX = newWidth / 2.0f;
    float middleY = newHeight / 2.0f;

    Matrix scaleMatrix = new Matrix();
    scaleMatrix.setScale(ratioX, ratioY, middleX, middleY);

    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(scaledBitmap);
    canvas.setMatrix(scaleMatrix);
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, middleX - bitmap.getWidth() / 2, middleY - bitmap.getHeight() / 2, new Paint(Paint.FILTER_BITMAP_FLAG));

    return scaledBitmap;

    }

Answer 2

Try this for scaling bitmap

public static Bitmap scaleBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int newWidth, int newHeight) {
    float scaleX = ((float)newWidth) /  bitmap.getWidth();
    float scaleY = ((float)newHeight) / bitmap.getHeight(); 
    Matrix scaleMatrix = new Matrix();
    scaleMatrix.postScale(scaleX, scaleY);
    Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight() , scaleMatrix, true);
    return scaledBitmap;
}

Use this it will definitely help you to reduce the size without loosing quality.
public Bitmap compressImage(String imageUri) {

        String filePath = imageUri;
        // String filePath = getRealPathFromURI(imageUri);
        Bitmap scaledBitmap = null;

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

        // by setting this field as true, the actual bitmap pixels are not
        // loaded in the memory. Just the bounds are loaded. If
        // you try the use the bitmap here, you will get null.
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
        Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath, options);

        int actualHeight = options.outHeight;
        int actualWidth = options.outWidth;

        // max Height and width values of the compressed image is taken as
        // 816x612

        /*
         * float maxHeight = 816.0f; float maxWidth = 612.0f;
         */
        float maxHeight = 1080.0f;
        float maxWidth = 800.0f;

        float imgRatio = actualWidth / (float) actualHeight;
        float maxRatio = maxWidth / (float) maxHeight;

        // width and height values are set maintaining the aspect ratio of the
        // image

        if (actualHeight > maxHeight || actualWidth > maxWidth) {
            if (imgRatio < maxRatio) {
                imgRatio = maxHeight / actualHeight;
                actualWidth = (int) (imgRatio * actualWidth);
                actualHeight = (int) maxHeight;
            } else if (imgRatio > maxRatio) {
                imgRatio = maxWidth / actualWidth;
                actualHeight = (int) (imgRatio * actualHeight);
                actualWidth = (int) maxWidth;
            } else {

                actualWidth = (int) maxWidth;

            }
        }

        // setting inSampleSize value allows to load a scaled down version of
        // the original image

Answer 4

Your problem is that you are not keeping the aspect ratio of the original image. in your code if you need the width to be 200, then the height should be calculated like this:

newHeight = ((float) originalHeight/(float) originalWidth) * (float) newWidth;

So in your case:

float newHeight = ((float) a.getHeight()/(float) a.getWidth()) * (float) 200;

And then call your scaling function with width:200 and height calculated from original value.

After that if the quality is still low, then experiment with increasing the width and stop when you get the needed quality.

Answer 5

While you have too much large image at that time you must Required to manage Bitmap cache policy.Bitmap cache management is too much Complex.So in Android we have one superb library Picasso .this library is provide inbuilt cache management. this will be manage your bitmap in background and it's also provide image cache feature.once your image is load and again you load this same Image this will be get in cache.it's inbuilt functionality no need to change in code.

I hope you are clear with my solution. Best of Luck
