Creating a scaled bitmap with createScaledBitmap in Android

Question

I want to create a scaled bitmap, but I seemingly get a dis-proportional image. It looks like a square while I want to be rectangular.

My code:

Bitma         


        

Answer 1

Your image is square because you are setting width = 960 and height = 960.

You need to create a method where you pass the size of the image you want like this: http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/load-bitmap.html

In code this looks like:

public static Bitmap lessResolution (String filePath, int width, int height) {
    int reqHeight = height;
    int reqWidth = width;
    BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();    

    // First decode with inJustDecodeBounds=true to check dimensions
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath, options);

    // Calculate inSampleSize
    options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, reqWidth, reqHeight);

    // Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;        

    return BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath, options); 
}

private static int calculateInSampleSize(BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {

    final int height = options.outHeight;
    final int width = options.outWidth;
    int inSampleSize = 1;

    if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {
        // Calculate ratios of height and width to requested height and width
        final int heightRatio = Math.round((float) height / (float) reqHeight);
        final int widthRatio = Math.round((float) width / (float) reqWidth);

        // Choose the smallest ratio as inSampleSize value, this will guarantee
        // a final image with both dimensions larger than or equal to the
        // requested height and width.
        inSampleSize = heightRatio < widthRatio ? heightRatio : widthRatio;
    }
    return inSampleSize;
}
