Create a Bitmap/Drawable from file path

Question

I\'m trying to create a Bitmap or Drawable from existing file path.

String path = intent.getStringExtra(\"FilePath\");
BitmapFactory.Options option = new Bit         


        

Answer 1

It works for me:

File imgFile = new  File("/sdcard/Images/test_image.jpg");
if(imgFile.exists()){
    Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());
    //Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), myBitmap);
    ImageView myImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageviewTest);
    myImage.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);

}

Edit:

If above hard-coded sdcard directory is not working in your case, you can fetch the sdcard path:

String sdcardPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
File imgFile = new  File(sdcardPath);
