you can try:

image.setImageBitmap(null);
// Check if image is a landscape image
if (bmp.getWidth() > bmp.getHeight()) {
    // Rotate it to show as a landscape
    Matrix m = image.getImageMatrix();
    m.postRotate(90);
    bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(bmp, 0, 0, bmp.getWidth(), bmp.getHeight(), m, true);
}
BitmapDrawable bd = new BitmapDrawable(mContext.getResources(), bmp);
bmp.recycle();
bmp = null;
setImageDrawable(bd);
bd = null;
