Android Error While using ExifInterface

Question

I am trying to check the orientation of bitmap and flip it if there is a need, but I have error while applying the code. Here is my code while i am trying to flipp the image using ExifInterface:

@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)     public void flipping(Bitmap b)     {         ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();         b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,100, bos);         byte[] bitmapdata = bos.toByteArray();         ByteArrayInputStream bs = new ByteArrayInputStream(bitmapdata);         try {              ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(bs);             int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION,                     ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED);             switch(orientation) {                  case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:                     rotateImage(b, 90);                     break;                  case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:                     rotateImage(b, 180);                     break;                  case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:                     rotateImage(b, 270);                     break;                  case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL:                  default:                     break;             }              encoding();         } catch (IOException e) {             e.printStackTrace();         }     }     public static Bitmap rotateImage(Bitmap source, float angle) {         Matrix matrix = new Matrix();         matrix.postRotate(angle);         return Bitmap.createBitmap(source, 0, 0, source.getWidth(), source.getHeight(),                 matrix, true);     } 

And here is the error:

Answer 1

for AndroidX use

androidx.exifinterface.media.ExifInterface 

Import this dependency in build.gradle:

implementation 'androidx.exifinterface:exifinterface:1.3.2'
