Android :: Get Image From Received Share Intent
Sep 14, 2010
I'm creating an app for posting pictures to a particular proprietary social site. I have it working with the camera and the IMAGE_CAPTURE intent. I want to add the ability to do this from pictures in the Gallery. I seem to have everything wired up, but I'm scratching my head how to get the image from the intent when my activity is lauched from the Gallery's share menu. In onCreate, the code getIntent().getDataType() returns "image/jpeg", as expected, but how to I get the picture from the Gallery into my ImageView?
The code at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2206397/android-intent-action-send... suggests how the Gallery app is adding the picture by means of emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(png)); but on my end, it's not clear to me at all how to get that Uri from the intent.

I'm starting a service with an intent where I put extra information. How can I get the intent in the code of my service? There isn't a function like getIntent().getExtras() in service like in activity.

My app offers a "share/tell-a-friend" function. When the "share" button is pressed the following method is being called to open a list of apps, which can perform the action (Eg. Gmail, Twittroid, Facebook...):
CODE:...............
The sharing functionality works basically. But when the sharing app (Facebook, Twitter, ...) tries to return to my app, a force close is thrown.
I guess that my app gets closed in the background during the sharing process... at least that is what the debugger sais...
The problem seems to be that the app closes in the background. Also when I open the browser from my app an try to return to my app with the back key. A force close is thrown.
This is the Log Cat output:
CODE:..................

I read here ( http://androidlittle.blogspot.com/2009/08/intent-filter-for-share-link.html ) what intent-filter is required to handle the "share link" intent that the android web browser sends.Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? My main (launcher) activity works fine, so I assume there is no issue with installation on the emulator.

I've got a problem My app show a first layout like: Gridview1 (3 images in 1 row) ImageView1 (1 image) Gridview2 (3 images in 1 row) ImgaeView2 (1 image) Gridview3 (3 images in 1 row) ImgaeView3 (1 image) When you clik over an image it will be open full screen in a second layout, The problem was that I don't know how to pass the image to the new intent. Now I've the next code:
public AdapterView.OnItemClickListener pulsarImagen = new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() { public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,long arg3) { Intent intent = new Intent(GridViewer.this , GalleryViewer.class); intent.putExtra("id", arg0.getItemIdAtPosition (arg2)); startActivity(intent); //finish(); } };
But the ItemID is always 0. Before I've only one gridview and then I passed the item's position. But now I've 3 different gridviews and I don't know if the position of item selecte it's from gridview 1,2 or 3. I supose that the great solutin it will be to pass the id resource (image) but I don't know how to pass it. Can you help me?

I want to have an image open from a URL to an intent, most likely the browser or maybe a picture previewer like the one built into twidroyd.I've gotten plain URLs to open to the browser. I just can't figure out what action or category to specify,

Is there a built-in intent which will let you pass it the path of an image (png or jpg) and show it full-screen with panning / zooming controls? Basically the same controls WebView has, but only for a single image. I saw that iPhone has something like this, just wondering if there's already something like this on android before writing a new one.

I start an IMAGE_CAPTURE Intent like this, and my activity's onActivityResult() get called: Intent i = new Intent (android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE, null); i.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(i, PICK_ICON_FROM_CAMERA_ID);
But, if I start my Intent like this, the Capture Image Intent did get called, but my activity's onActivityResult() never get called:
Intent i = new Intent (android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE, null); i.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.parse("file:/" + "MyTestFile")); i.putExtra("outputFormat", Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG.name());
startActivityForResult(i, PICK_ICON_FROM_CAMERA_ID);

I have the url of an image. What i need to do is launch the default image viewer for images using an intent. But it doesn't work. If I do not specify the type of data, the intent launches the browser since the data is a url. It works basically (since you can see the image on the browser) but what I would like is to have the gallery display the image for me.I can also download the image into a Bitmap but I would still not know how to display the Bitmap using the gallery (if that's even possible).I tried saving the bitmap to the cache and then launch the viewer on that file but it doesn't work. Can you spot any mistakes on my code? (The Utilities class is a class i wrote.

I am trying to launch an email intent with an attached jpg. I did:
Intent intent4 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.fromParts("mailto", "testemail@gmail.com", null));
startActivity(intent4);
this launches the email activity.
But when I try to add DataAndType (my jpeg attachment). It fails with
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { action=android.intent.action.SENDTO data=file:///data/data/com.mycompany.mypackage/files/temp-picture type=JPEG
Intent intent4 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.fromParts("mailto", "testemail@gmail.com", null));
intent4.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://"+ mTempFilePath),
Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.name());
startActivity(intent4);

First of all let me say that this questions is slightly connected to another question by me. Actually it was created because of that. I have the following code to write a bitmap downloaded from the net to a file in the sd card:
// Get image from url
URL u = new URL(url);
HttpGet httpRequest = new HttpGet(u.toURI());
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response = (HttpResponse) httpclient.execute(httpRequest);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
BufferedHttpEntity bufHttpEntity = new BufferedHttpEntity(entity);
InputStream instream = bufHttpEntity.getContent();
Bitmap bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(instream);
instream.close();
// Write image to a file in sd card
File posterFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/Android/data/com.myapp/files/image.jpg");
posterFile.createNewFile();
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(posterFile));
Bitmap mutable = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmImg,bmImg.getWidth(),bmImg.getHeight(),true);
mutable.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
// Launch default viewer for the file
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(posterFile.getAbsolutePath()),"image/*");
((Activity) getContext()).startActivity(intent);
A few notes. I am creating the "mutable" bitmap after seeing someone using it and it seems to work better than without it. And I am using the parse method on the Uri class and not the fromFile because in my code I am calling these in different places and when I am creating the intent I have a string path instead of a file. Now for my problem. The file gets created. The intent launches a dialog asking me to select a viewer. I have 3 viewers installed. The Astro image viewer, the default media gallery (I have a milstone on 2.1 but on the milestone the 2.1 update did not include the 3d gallery so it's the old one) and the 3d gallery from the nexus one (I found the apk in the wild). Now when I launch the 3 viewers the following happen:
Astro image viewer: The activity launches but I see nothing but a black screen.
Media Gallery: I get an exception dialog shown "The application MediaGallery (process com.motorola.gallery) has stoppedunexpectedly. Please try again" with a force close option.
3D gallery: Everything works as it should.
When I try to simply open the file using the Astro file manager (browse to it and simply click) I get the same option dialog but this time things are different:
Astro image viewer: Everything works as it should.
Media Gallery: Everything works as it should.
3D gallery: The activity launches but I see nothing but a black screen.
As you can see everything is a complete mess. I have no idea why this happens but it happens like this every single time. It's not a random bug. Am I missing something when I am creating the intent? Or when I am creating the image file? As noted in the comment here is the part of interest in adb logcat. Also I should note that I changed the way I create the image file. Since I want to create a file that reflects an online file I simply download it instead of creating a Bitmap and then creating the file (this was done because at some point I needed the Bitmap but now I do it the other way around). The problems persist thought and are exactly the same:

I'm developing an app for Android 2.1 upwards. I want to enable my users to select a profile picture within my app (I'm not using the contacts framework). The ideal solution would be to fire an intent that enables the user to select an image from the gallery, but if an appropriate image is not available then use the camera to take a picture (or vice-versa i.e. allow user to take picture but if they know they already have a suitable image already, let them drop into the gallery and pick said image). Currently I can do one or the other but not both.
If I go directly into camera mode using MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE then there is no option to drop into the gallery. If I go directly to the gallery using Intent.ACTION_PICK then I can pick an image but if I click the camera button (in top right hand corner of gallery) then a new camera intent is fired. So, any picture that is taken is not returned directly to my application. (Sure you can press the back button to drop back into the gallery and select image from there but this is an extra unnecessary step and is not at all intuitive). So is there a way to combine both or am I going to have to offer a menu to do one or the other from within my application? Seems like it would be a common use case, surely I'm missing something?

I'd like to show a png or jpg I downloaded from the next in an image viewer intent, but can't get it to work.
Bitmap bmp = getImageBitmap(jpg);
String path = getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() + "/test.png";
File file = new File(path);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress( CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos );
fos.close();
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(path)), "image/png");
startActivity(intent);
I know the bitmap is downloaded ok (use the same routine for supplying it my ImageView instances elsewhere in my app) - I think it wrote to file ok, I can see it on disk and the file size is correct. The intent is launched but an exception is thrown: then the new activity just sits there, blank. How does this work?

I am very new to Android (and Java) originally a C# developer.. and am struggling with the concepts and terminology.
I have been through almost all the tutorials and have decided to start on my first test app.The first part of my app is going to involve using the gallery widget (based on the hello gallery tutorial) to display a load of images. (these images will eventually come from the phones camera, but I will cross that bridge later!) My images are currently stored in the drawable folder in my project.As a first step I want to just have the user click on an image and it pops up full screen, just so I know how to get reference to it, but I am struggling. Evetually I want the user to click an image, then a window/activity(?) will open asking them for a bit of text. This will then be store in sqllite against the image. Code...

Just wondering if its possible to use the built in image viewer to display an image sourced from a database. I'm hoping I can pass the byte[] as an extra to the ACTION_VIEW intent, but can't find any docs on it so far. Alternatively I'll have to roll my own viewer or first write the image out to a file and pass that to the intent.
