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 do it this way:

public void browseClick(View view) {
    view.startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getApplicationContext(), R.anim.button_animation));
    Intent i = new Intent(
            Intent.ACTION_PICK,
            android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);

    startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
}

And the result where the orientation is checked will interest you most:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
        Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
        String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };

        Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,
                filePathColumn, null, null, null);
        cursor.moveToFirst();

        int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
        String picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
        cursor.close();

        Bitmap loadedBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath);

        Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
        Bitmap scaledBitmap;
        if (loadedBitmap.getWidth() >= loadedBitmap.getHeight()){
            matrix.setRectToRect(new RectF(0, 0, loadedBitmap.getWidth(), loadedBitmap.getHeight()), new RectF(0, 0, 400, 300), Matrix.ScaleToFit.CENTER);
            scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(loadedBitmap, 0, 0, loadedBitmap.getWidth(), loadedBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
        } else{
            matrix.setRectToRect(new RectF(0, 0, loadedBitmap.getWidth(), loadedBitmap.getHeight()), new RectF(0, 0, 300, 400), Matrix.ScaleToFit.CENTER);
            scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(loadedBitmap, 0, 0, loadedBitmap.getWidth(), loadedBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
        }

        File file = new File(getExternalCacheDir(), "image.jpg");
        try {
            FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
            scaledBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
            out.flush();
            out.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("Image", "Convert");
        }

        imageView.setImageBitmap(scaledBitmap);
    }
}
