Android getting an image from gallery comes rotated

Question

I am trying to let users select a profile picture from gallery. My issue is that some pictures come as rotated to the right.

I start the image picker like so:

Answer 1

I use these static methods. The first determines the orientation and the second rotates the image shrinking it as needed.

public static int getOrientation(Context context, Uri photoUri) {

    Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(photoUri,
            new String[] { MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.ORIENTATION }, null, null, null);

    if (cursor == null || cursor.getCount() != 1) {
        return 90;  //Assuming it was taken portrait
    }

    cursor.moveToFirst();
    return cursor.getInt(0);
}

/**
* Rotates and shrinks as needed
*/
public static Bitmap getCorrectlyOrientedImage(Context context, Uri photoUri, int maxWidth)
                throws IOException {

            InputStream is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(photoUri);
            BitmapFactory.Options dbo = new BitmapFactory.Options();
            dbo.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
            BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, dbo);
            is.close();


            int rotatedWidth, rotatedHeight;
            int orientation = getOrientation(context, photoUri);

            if (orientation == 90 || orientation == 270) {
                Log.d("ImageUtil", "Will be rotated");
                rotatedWidth = dbo.outHeight;
                rotatedHeight = dbo.outWidth;
            } else {
                rotatedWidth = dbo.outWidth;
                rotatedHeight = dbo.outHeight;
            }

            Bitmap srcBitmap;
            is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(photoUri);
            Log.d("ImageUtil", String.format("rotatedWidth=%s, rotatedHeight=%s, maxWidth=%s",
                    rotatedWidth, rotatedHeight, maxWidth));
            if (rotatedWidth > maxWidth || rotatedHeight > maxWidth) {
                float widthRatio = ((float) rotatedWidth) / ((float) maxWidth);
                float heightRatio = ((float) rotatedHeight) / ((float) maxWidth);
                float maxRatio = Math.max(widthRatio, heightRatio);
                Log.d("ImageUtil", String.format("Shrinking. maxRatio=%s",
                        maxRatio));

                // Create the bitmap from file
                BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
                options.inSampleSize = (int) maxRatio;
                srcBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, options);
            } else {
                Log.d("ImageUtil", String.format("No need for Shrinking. maxRatio=%s",
                        1));

                srcBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
                Log.d("ImageUtil", String.format("Decoded bitmap successful"));
            }
            is.close();

        /*
         * if the orientation is not 0 (or -1, which means we don't know), we
         * have to do a rotation.
         */
            if (orientation > 0) {
                Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
                matrix.postRotate(orientation);

                srcBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(srcBitmap, 0, 0, srcBitmap.getWidth(),
                        srcBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
            }

            return srcBitmap;
        }
