Compress camera image before upload

Question

I am using this code (from www.internetria.com) to take a photo and upload to a server:

onCreate:

Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); Uri output = Uri.fromFile(new File(foto)); intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, output); startActivityForResult(intent, TAKE_PICTURE); 

onActivityResult:

ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);         iv.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(foto));          File file = new File(foto);         if (file.exists()) {             UploaderFoto nuevaTarea = new UploaderFoto();             nuevaTarea.execute(foto);         }         else             Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No se ha realizado la foto", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 

UploaderFoto:

ProgressDialog pDialog; String miFoto = "";  @Override protected Void doInBackground(String... params) {     miFoto = params[0];     try {          HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();         httpclient.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);         HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://servidor.com/up.php");         File file = new File(miFoto);         MultipartEntity mpEntity = new MultipartEntity();         ContentBody foto = new FileBody(file, "image/jpeg");         mpEntity.addPart("fotoUp", foto);         httppost.setEntity(mpEntity);         httpclient.execute(httppost);         httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();     } catch (Exception e) {         e.printStackTrace();     }     return null; } 

And I want to compress the image, because the size is too big.

I don't know how to add bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, fos); to my app

Answer 1

Take a look over here: ByteArrayOutputStream to a FileBody

Something along these lines should work:

replace

File file = new File(miFoto); ContentBody foto = new FileBody(file, "image/jpeg"); 

with

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(miFoto) ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); bmp.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, bos); InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(bos.toByteArray()); ContentBody foto = new InputStreamBody(in, "image/jpeg", "filename"); 

If file size is still an issue you may want to scale the picture in addition to compressing it.
