I want to reduce the size of a bitmap to 200kb exactly. I get an image from the sdcard, compress it and save it to the sdcard again with a different name into a different directory. Compression works fine (3 mb like image is compressed to around 100 kb). I wrote the following lines of codes for this:
String imagefile ="/sdcard/DCIM/100ANDRO/DSC_0530.jpg";
Bitmap bm = ShrinkBitmap(imagefile, 300, 300);
//this method compresses the image and saves into a location in sdcard
Bitmap ShrinkBitmap(String file, int width, int height){
BitmapFactory.Options bmpFactoryOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
bmpFactoryOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file, bmpFactoryOptions);
int heightRatio = (int)Math.ceil(bmpFactoryOptions.outHeight/(float)height);
int widthRatio = (int)Math.ceil(bmpFactoryOptions.outWidth/(float)width);
if (heightRatio > 1 || widthRatio > 1)
{
if (heightRatio > widthRatio)
{
bmpFactoryOptions.inSampleSize = heightRatio;
} else {
bmpFactoryOptions.inSampleSize = widthRatio;
}
}
bmpFactoryOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file, bmpFactoryOptions);
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
byte[] imageInByte = stream.toByteArray();
//this gives the size of the compressed image in kb
long lengthbmp = imageInByte.length / 1024;
try {
bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, new FileOutputStream("/sdcard/mediaAppPhotos/compressed_new.jpg"));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bitmap;
}
