I want the user to be able to access their gallery (by clicking the add photo ImageView), upload a photo of their choosing, and display that photo in the circular profile photo spot. I can't seem to find any definitive guides on how to do this. What is the easiest/best way to go about it? (in Java).
(I would have commented, but I can´t, since I do not have 50 rep.)
You might wanna check: Get Image from the Gallery and Show in ImageView
(Keep in mind that this is only about loading the Image, saving would need some extra)
Cheers!
you can use this to pick your photo:
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, RESULT_LOAD_IMG);
and below code is your on activity result:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
try {
final Uri imageUri = data.getData();
final InputStream imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(imageUri);
final Bitmap selectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
image_view.setImageBitmap(selectedImage);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(PostImage.this, "Something went wrong", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}else {
Toast.makeText(PostImage.this, "You haven't picked Image",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
