Deprecated “getBitmap” with API 29. Any alternative codes?

Question

My onActivityResult is not working because getBitmap is deprecated, any alternative codes to achieve this?

here are the codes that needs to

Answer 1

ImageDecoder.createSource(this.getContentResolver(), pictureUri)

works fine, but to be able to use this code, mindSdkVersion should be at least 28.

Answer 2

You can use:

    private fun getCapturedImage(selectedPhotoUri: Uri): Bitmap {
        val bitmap = when {
            Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 28 -> MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(
                this.contentResolver,
                selectedPhotoUri
            )
            else -> {
                val source = ImageDecoder.createSource(this.contentResolver, selectedPhotoUri)
                ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap(source)
            }
        }

Answer 3

Check the official doc:

This method was deprecated in API level 29. loading of images should be performed through ImageDecoder#createSource(ContentResolver, Uri), which offers modern features like PostProcessor.

Answer 4

This worked well for me in java

ImageDecoder.Source source = ImageDecoder.createSource(this.getContentResolver(), pictureUri);
Bitmap bitmap = ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap(source);

Answer 5

I have created a class for loading a Bitmap from uri:

public class BitmapResolver {
    private final static String TAG = "BitmapResolver";

    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    private static Bitmap getBitmapLegacy(@NonNull ContentResolver contentResolver, @NonNull Uri fileUri){
        Bitmap bitmap = null;

        try {
            bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(contentResolver, fileUri);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return bitmap;
    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.P)
    private static Bitmap getBitmapImageDecoder(@NonNull ContentResolver contentResolver, @NonNull Uri fileUri){
        Bitmap bitmap = null;

        try {
            bitmap = ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap(ImageDecoder.createSource(contentResolver, fileUri));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return bitmap;
    }

    public static Bitmap getBitmap(@NonNull ContentResolver contentResolver, Uri fileUri){
        if (fileUri == null){
            Log.i(TAG, "returning null because URI was null");
            return null;
        }

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P){
            return getBitmapImageDecoder(contentResolver, fileUri);
        } else{
            return getBitmapLegacy(contentResolver, fileUri);
        }
    }
   }

Just to save you some time ...

Answer 6

This worked for me,

override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)

        if(requestCode == 1 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && data != null) {

            val selectedPhotoUri = data.data
            try {
                selectedPhotoUri?.let {
                    if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 28) {
                        val bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(
                            this.contentResolver,
                            selectedPhotoUri
                        )
                        imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
                    } else {
                        val source = ImageDecoder.createSource(this.contentResolver, selectedPhotoUri)
                        val bitmap = ImageDecoder.decodeBitmap(source)
                        imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
                    }
                }
            } catch (e: Exception) {
                e.printStackTrace()
            }
        }
    }
