How to send image from one activity to another in android?

Question

I am having a imageView in one class and on clicking the imageView a dialog box appear which has two option to take a image from camera or open the image gallery of device. I want to send image from one class to another so it can appear in ImageView. I am searching from many hour but i got only about sending text data from one class to another.Can any one tell about sending an image from one class to another?

This is code from sender class which will take image.

   takeImg.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if(event.getAction() == event.ACTION_UP)
                {
                    i=new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
                    startActivityForResult(i,cameraData);
                }
                return true;
            }
        });
    }
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if(resultCode==RESULT_OK)
        {
            Bundle extras=data.getExtras();
            bmp=(Bitmap)extras.get("data");
        }
    }

For any help thanks

Answer 1

You get Image in your Activity as a Bitmap and you also pass that to another Activity as Bitmap with Intent.putExtra() like this:

First Activity.

Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("bmp_Image", bmp); 

and get from second Activity like:

Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap) intent.getParcelableExtra("bmp_Image"); 

you don't need to get url and load from url.

that is the simplest way to pass the captured image from one Activity to another Activity.

Answer 2

I remember something about that there is a limitation in size for putExtra() and getExtra() about 1mb. So a picture may exceed this limitation. How about just passing the path to the picture?
