How to compress image size?

Question

You can create bitmap with captured image as below:

Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(capturedImage, width, height, true);

Here you can specify width and height of the bitmap that you want to set to your ImageView. The height and width you can set according to the screen dpi of the device also, by reading the screen dpi of different devices programmatically.

Use Compressor (Image compression library). Visit zetbaitsu/Compressor for code and documentation.

1. add dependency in gradle (app level)

   dependencies {
       implementation 'id.zelory:compressor:3.0.0'
   }
   

2. To Compress Image use one of these approaches:

• Compress Image File:

        val compressedImageFile = Compressor.compress(context, actualImageFile)
  

• Compress Image File to Bitmap:

        val compressedImageFile = Compressor.compress(context, actualImageFile)
        val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(compressedImageFile.path)
  

Try this is working great with me.

private String decodeFile(String path) {
        String strMyImagePath = null;
        Bitmap scaledBitmap = null;

        try {
            // Part 1: Decode image
            Bitmap unscaledBitmap = ScalingUtilities.decodeFile(path, DESIREDWIDTH, DESIREDHEIGHT, ScalingLogic.FIT);

            if (!(unscaledBitmap.getWidth() <= 800 && unscaledBitmap.getHeight() <= 800)) {
                // Part 2: Scale image
                scaledBitmap = ScalingUtilities.createScaledBitmap(unscaledBitmap, DESIREDWIDTH, DESIREDHEIGHT, ScalingLogic.FIT);
            } else {
                unscaledBitmap.recycle();
                return path;
            }

            // Store to tmp file

            String extr = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
            File mFolder = new File(extr + "/myTmpDir");
            if (!mFolder.exists()) {
                mFolder.mkdir();
            }

            String s = "tmp.png";

            File f = new File(mFolder.getAbsolutePath(), s);

            strMyImagePath = f.getAbsolutePath();
            FileOutputStream fos = null;
            try {
                fos = new FileOutputStream(f);
                scaledBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 70, fos);
                fos.flush();
                fos.close();
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (Exception e) {

                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            scaledBitmap.recycle();
        } catch (Throwable e) {
        }

        if (strMyImagePath == null) {
            return path;
        }
        return strMyImagePath;

    }

You can compress image bitmap like this way.

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

Here 100 is quality of image and you can change format of image to get low resolution image.

I think you are asking about Shrinking image size:

    public Bitmap ShrinkBitmap(String file, int width, int height)
{
    BitmapFactory.Options bmpFactoryOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    bmpFactoryOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file, bmpFactoryOptions);

    int heightRatio = (int) Math.ceil(bmpFactoryOptions.outHeight / (float) height);
    int widthRatio = (int) Math.ceil(bmpFactoryOptions.outWidth / (float) width);

    if(heightRatio > 1 || widthRatio > 1)
    {
        if(heightRatio > widthRatio)
        {
            bmpFactoryOptions.inSampleSize = heightRatio;
        }
        else
        {
            bmpFactoryOptions.inSampleSize = widthRatio;
        }
    }

    bmpFactoryOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
    bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file, bmpFactoryOptions);
    return bitmap;
}
