Read an Image/file from External storage Android

Question

I\'m trying to load an image from external storage. I set the permissions, I tried different ways, but none of them works.

BitmapFactory.Options options =          


        

Answer 1

File sdCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();

File directory = new File (sdCard.getAbsolutePath() + "/Pictures");

File file = new File(directory, "image_name.jpg"); //or any other format supported

FileInputStream streamIn = new FileInputStream(file);

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(streamIn); //This gets the image

streamIn.close();
