Answer 1

For me I was getting image from locally saved URL something like "file:///storage/emulated/0/...." (I have used Phonegap plugin to capture image. Plugin was giving me image path, which I need to use in native code)

Here is the code snippet which worked for me.

String captured_image_info = "file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.testapp/cache/1493809796526.jpg"
Uri uri=Uri.parse(captured_image_info);
largeLog("uri", "" + uri);

InputStream imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);

Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos); //bm is the bitmap object

byte[] decodedBytes = baos.toByteArray();

Bitmap img_captured_image = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedBytes, 0, decodedBytes.length);
