How to display image on imageView selected from internal storage?
Check this
File imgFile = new File("/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20151102_193132.jpg");
if(imgFile.exists()){
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());
ImageView myImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageviewTest);
myImage.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
};
And include this permission in the manifest file:
<manifest>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
...
<application>
...
<activity>
...
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
For API 23+ you need to request the read/write permissions even if they are already in your manifest.
// Storage Permissions
private static final int REQUEST_EXTERNAL_STORAGE = 1;
private static String[] PERMISSIONS_STORAGE = {
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
};
/**
* Checks if the app has permission to write to device storage
*
* If the app does not has permission then the user will be prompted to grant permissions
*
* @param activity
*/
public static void verifyStoragePermissions(Activity activity) {
// Check if we have write permission
int permission = ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(activity, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
if (permission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// We don't have permission so prompt the user
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
activity,
PERMISSIONS_STORAGE,
REQUEST_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
);
}
}
And handle the responce , some example:
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS: {
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// permission was granted, yay! Do the
// contacts-related task you need to do.
} else {
// permission denied, boo! Disable the
// functionality that depends on this permission.
}
return;
}
// other 'case' lines to check for other
// permissions this app might request
}
}
For official documentation about requesting permissions for API 23+, check https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
you need to add runtime permisssion check like this:
public boolean isStoragePermissionGranted() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
if (checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.v(TAG,"Permission is granted");
return true;
} else {
Log.v(TAG,"Permission is revoked");
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
return false;
}
}
else { //permission is automatically granted on sdk<23 upon installation
Log.v(TAG,"Permission is granted");
return true;
}
}
use it like:
if(isStoragePermissionGranted()){
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20151102_193132.jpg");
image.setImageBitmap(bm);
}
Catch the result in
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
if(grantResults[0]== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
Log.v(TAG,"Permission: "+permissions[0]+ "was "+grantResults[0]);
//resume tasks needing this permission
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20151102_193132.jpg");
image.setImageBitmap(bm);
}
}
