Android: How to crop images using CameraX?

Question

I want to take a photo and crop out a square of 25x25 dp from the center using CameraX. I have read that cropping is possible using ImageCapture but unfortunately there are almost no similar examples out there so far.

val imageCaptureConfig = ImageCaptureConfig.Builder().apply {
    setTargetAspectRatio(Rational(1, 1))
    setCaptureMode(ImageCapture.CaptureMode.MIN_LATENCY)
}.build()

val imageCapture = ImageCapture(imageCaptureConfig)
btn_take_photo.setOnClickListener {
    imageCapture.takePicture(
        object : ImageCapture.OnImageCapturedListener() {
            override fun onCaptureSuccess(image: ImageProxy?, rotationDegrees: Int) {
                super.onCaptureSuccess(image, rotationDegrees)

                // image manipulation here?
            }
        }
    )
}

You can use this function to cropping the Image after capture the Image:

private fun cropImage(bitmap: Bitmap, frame: View, reference: View): ByteArray {
        val heightOriginal = frame.height
        val widthOriginal = frame.width
        val heightFrame = reference.height
        val widthFrame = reference.width
        val leftFrame = reference.left
        val topFrame = reference.top
        val heightReal = bitmap.height
        val widthReal = bitmap.width
        val widthFinal = widthFrame * widthReal / widthOriginal
        val heightFinal = heightFrame * heightReal / heightOriginal
        val leftFinal = leftFrame * widthReal / widthOriginal
        val topFinal = topFrame * heightReal / heightOriginal
        val bitmapFinal = Bitmap.createBitmap(
            bitmap,
            leftFinal, topFinal, widthFinal, heightFinal
        )
        val stream = ByteArrayOutputStream()
        bitmapFinal.compress(
            Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,
            100,
            stream
        ) //100 is the best quality possibe
        return stream.toByteArray()
    }

Crop an image taking a reference a view parent like a frame and a view child like final reference

• param bitmap image to crop
• param frame where the image is set it
• param reference frame to take reference for a crop the image
• return image already cropped
