How to select and crop an image in android?

Question

I have also faced this problem .You can try with this code. Its working fine for me

private static final String TEMP_PHOTO_FILE = "temporary_holder.jpg";  

Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
        android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("crop", "true");
photoPickerIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, getTempUri());
photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputFormat", Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.toString());
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, REQ_CODE_PICK_IMAGE);

private Uri getTempUri() {
    return Uri.fromFile(getTempFile());
}

private File getTempFile() {

    if (Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {

        File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),TEMP_PHOTO_FILE);
        try {
            file.createNewFile();
        } catch (IOException e) {}

        return file;
    } else {

        return null;
    }
}

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
        Intent imageReturnedIntent) {

    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, imageReturnedIntent);

    switch (requestCode) {
        case REQ_CODE_PICK_IMAGE:
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {  
                if (imageReturnedIntent!=null) {

                    File tempFile = getTempFile();

                    String filePath= Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                        +"/"+TEMP_PHOTO_FILE;
                    System.out.println("path "+filePath);


                    Bitmap selectedImage =  BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
                    _image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
                    _image.setImageBitmap(selectedImage );

                    if (tempFile.exists()) tempFile.delete();
                }
            }
    }       
}

You don't need a Temp file:

protected static final int REQ_CODE_PICK_IMAGE = 1;



Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
    android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
    photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
    photoPickerIntent.putExtra("crop", "true");
    photoPickerIntent.putExtra("return-data", true);
    photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputFormat", Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.toString());
    startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, REQ_CODE_PICK_IMAGE);


protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent imageReturnedIntent) {

        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, imageReturnedIntent);

        switch (requestCode) {
            case REQ_CODE_PICK_IMAGE:
                if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {  
                    if (imageReturnedIntent!=null) {
                        Bundle extras = imageReturnedIntent.getExtras();
                        Bitmap selectedBitmap = extras.getParcelable("data");
                        imageR = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
                        imageR.setImageBitmap(selectedBitmap);
                    }
                }
        }       
}
