How to get Bitmap from an Uri?

Question

How to get a Bitmap object from an Uri (if I succeed to store it in /data/data/MYFOLDER/myimage.png or file///data/data/MYFOLDER/myimage.png) to u

Answer 1

(KOTLIN) So, as of April 7th, 2020 none of the above mentioned options worked, but here's what worked for me:

1. If you want to store the bitmap in a val and set an imageView with it, use this:

   val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(currentPhotoPath).also { bitmap -> imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) }

2. If you just want to set the bitmap to and imageView, use this:

   BitmapFactory.decodeFile(currentPhotoPath).also { bitmap -> imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) }
