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

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

This is the easiest solution:

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

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

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();
}

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

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);

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 )
}

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'

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

(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;
        }

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)

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();
}

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();
      }


   }
}
