Answer 1

Although part of the internal API, the com.android.camera.action.CROP seems like it is well-supported on most Android devices. This might get you started:

final Intent intent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
intent.setData(uriOfImageToCrop);
intent.putExtra("outputX", 400);
intent.putExtra("outputY", 400);
intent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
intent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
intent.putExtra("scale", true);
intent.putExtra("noFaceDetection", true);
intent.putExtra("output", Uri.fromFile(someOutputFile));
startActivityForResult(intent, SOME_RANDOM_REQUEST_CODE);

Then handle what you need to do in the onActivityResult() method of your Activity. Your output file should be the cropped image.

Since this Intent action is part of the internal API, however, I would strongly advise that you have some sort of fallback behavior if some device does not support the Intent. Some manufacturers provide their own Gallery apps and so there is no way of knowing whether or not the user's device will recognize the Intent. PLEASE DON'T FORGET THIS!! :)

I solved this problem this way

private void pickUserImage() { 

if (doHavePermission()) { 
    Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
            android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
    photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
    photoPickerIntent.putExtra("crop", "true");
    photoPickerIntent.putExtra("scale", true);
    photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputX", 256);
    photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputY", 256);
    photoPickerIntent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
    photoPickerIntent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
    photoPickerIntent.putExtra("outputFormat", Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.toString());
    photoPickerIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, getTempUri());
    startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, PICK_FROM_GALLERY);
    } 
}

Yes it's possible to crop image in android by using com.android.camera.action.CROP. after picking image url from gallery.you will start Crop Editor as:

Intent intent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");  
intent.setClassName("com.android.camera", "com.android.camera.CropImage");  
File file = new File(filePath);  
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);  
intent.setData(uri);  
intent.putExtra("crop", "true");  
intent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);  
intent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);  
intent.putExtra("outputX", 96);  
intent.putExtra("outputY", 96);  
intent.putExtra("noFaceDetection", true);  
intent.putExtra("return-data", true);                                  
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CROP_ICON);

When the picture select Activity return will be selected to save the contents.in onActivityResult:

Bundle extras = data.getExtras();  
if(extras != null ) {  
    Bitmap photo = extras.getParcelable("data");  
    ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();  
    photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 75, stream);  
        // The stream to write to a file or directly using the photo
}

and see this post which is also help you for cropping image in android

Nobody will tell you which extra is needed unless you try it:

   val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK)
   intent.apply {
       type = "image/*"
       putExtra("crop", "true") // NOTE: should be string
       putExtra("outputX", 300) // This is needed, editor can't close without these two
       putExtra("outputY", 300) // This is needed

       putExtra("scale", true)
       putExtra("aspectX", 1)
       putExtra("aspectY", 1)
       putExtra("return-data", true)
   }
   startActivityForResult(intent, YOUR_INT_CODE)

Answer 6

You can already tell the Camera/Gallery-Intent to start the crop-editor after the image is selected/taken:

Pick Image from Gallery:

Intent pickImageIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);

pickImageIntent.setType("image/*");
pickImageIntent.putExtra("crop", "true");
pickImageIntent.putExtra("outputX", 200);
pickImageIntent.putExtra("outputY", 200);
pickImageIntent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
pickImageIntent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
pickImageIntent.putExtra("scale", true);
pickImageIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriWhereToStore);
pickImageIntent.putExtra("outputFormat",

Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.toString());
startActivityForResult(pickImageIntent, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);

Take Photo:

Intent takePicIntent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");

takePicIntent .putExtra("crop", "true");
takePicIntent .putExtra("outputX", 200);
takePicIntent .putExtra("outputY", 200);
takePicIntent .putExtra("aspectX", 1);
takePicIntent .putExtra("aspectY", 1);
takePicIntent .putExtra("scale", true);
takePicIntent .putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriWhereToStore);
takePicIntent .putExtra("outputFormat",

Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.toString());
startActivityForResult(takePicIntent , RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
