how do you pass images (bitmaps) between android activities using bundles?

Question

Suppose I have an activity to select an image from the gallery, and retrieve it as a BitMap, just like the example: here

Now, I want to pass this BitMap to be used i

Answer 1

As suggested by @EboMike I saved the bitmap in a file named myImage in the internal storage of my application not accessible my other apps. Here's the code of that part:

public String createImageFromBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
    String fileName = "myImage";//no .png or .jpg needed
    try {
        ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
        FileOutputStream fo = openFileOutput(fileName, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
        // remember close file output
        fo.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        fileName = null;
    }
    return fileName;
}

Then in the next activity you can decode this file myImage to a bitmap using following code:

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(context
                    .openFileInput("myImage"));//here context can be anything like getActivity() for fragment, this or MainActivity.this

Note A lot of checking for null and scaling bitmap's is ommited.
