How to compress image before uploading to server

            return 0;
        }
        else
        {
            try {
                upLoadServerUri = "http://192.168.3.40:8090/PHP/fileUpload.php";
                // open a URL connection to the Servlet
                FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(sourceFile);
                URL url = new URL(upLoadServerUri);

                // Open a HTTP  connection to  the URL
                conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                conn.setDoInput(true); // Allow Inputs

                String serverResponseMessage = conn.getResponseMessage();

                Log.i("uploadFile", "HTTP Response is : "+ serverResponseMessage + ": " + serverResponseCode);

                if(serverResponseCode == 200){

                    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {

                            Toast.makeText(PreviewImage.this, "File Upload Complete.",

                        }
                    });
                }

                //close the streams //
                fileInputStream.close();
                dos.flush();
                dos.close();

            } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {

                dialog.dismiss();
                ex.printStackTrace();

                runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {

                        Toast.makeText(PreviewImage.this, "MalformedURLException",
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                });

                Log.e("Upload file to server", "error: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
            } catch (Exception e) {

                dialog.dismiss();
                e.printStackTrace();

                runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {

                        Toast.makeText(PreviewImage.this, "Got Exception : see logcat ",
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }

                Log.e("Upload file to server Exception", "Exception : "
                        + e.getMessage(), e);
            }
            return serverResponseCode;

        } // End else block
    }

this code working fine for uploading image to server. But I want to compress image before uploading. I used this code Bitmap resizedbitmap=Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, screenWidth, screenHeight, true); But it not working. How to fix this problem.

Answer 1

If you are using .png file then you can try below code.

ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);

Here 100 is quality of image and you can change it between 0 to 100 to get low resolution image.

Answer 2

You can use below to compress bitmap

for jpeg images

Bitmap original = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(getAssets().open("imagg1.jpg"));
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
original.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
Bitmap decoded = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray()));

and for png images

Bitmap original = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(getAssets().open("imagg1.png"));
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
original.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
Bitmap decoded = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray()));
