Android: Bitmaps loaded from gallery are rotated in ImageView

Solved it in my case with this code using help of this post:

            Bitmap myBitmap = getBitmap(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());

            try {
                ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());
                int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1);
                Log.d("EXIF", "Exif: " + orientation);
                Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
                if (orientation == 6) {
                    matrix.postRotate(90);
                }
                else if (orientation == 3) {
                    matrix.postRotate(180);
                }
                else if (orientation == 8) {
                    matrix.postRotate(270);
                }
                myBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(myBitmap, 0, 0, myBitmap.getWidth(), myBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true); // rotating bitmap
            }
            catch (Exception e) {

            }
            ImageView img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imgTakingPic);
            img.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);

Hope it saves someone's time!

So, as an example...

First you need to create an ExifInterface:

ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(filename);

You can then grab the orientation of the image:

orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1);

Here's what the orientation values mean: http://sylvana.net/jpegcrop/exif_orientation.html

So, the most important values are 3, 6 and 8. If the orientation is ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90 (which is 6), for example, you can rotate the image like this:

Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
rotatedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(sourceBitmap, 0, 0, sourceBitmap.getWidth(), sourceBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);

That's just a quick example, though. I'm sure there are other ways of performing the actual rotation. But you will find those on StackOverflow as well.
