I\'m new to android. I want to pass bitmap into Bundle. But I can\'t find any solution for it. Actually, I\'m confused. I want to display an image in a Dialog fragment. But I do

Answer 1

If you want to pass image using bundle then i am sure it will help you.

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putParcelable("bitmap", bitmap);
fragment.setArguments(bundle);

Answer 2

No need to convert bitmap to byte array. You can directly put bitmap into bundle. Refer following code to put bitmap into bundle.

bundle.putParcelable("BitmapImage",bitmapname);

Get bitmap from Bundle by following code

Bitmap bitmapimage = getIntent().getExtras().getParcelable("BitmapImage");

Answer 3

I think it is easier to send the path or address of the image as a string and load it on the other side.

If the image is a web address, you can use Glide or Picasso libraries and cache them, so on the other activities or fragments it will not load twice.

Answer 4

if you are using NavigationComponent, you should use safeArgs !

you can put arguments in nav_graph like this :

<argument
        android:name="profileImage"
        app:nullable="true"
        app:argType="android.graphics.Bitmap" />

and send it like it : (First Fragment)

findNavController().navigate(SettingFragmentDirections.actionSettingFragmentToHomeFragment(bitmap))

and give it like this : (Second Fragment)

 val bitmapimage =
            arguments?.getParcelable<Bitmap>("profileImage")


        user_profile_img.setImageBitmap(bitmapimage)

Answer 5

First of all convert it to a Byte array before adding it to intent, send it out, and decode.

//Convertion to byte array

  ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
  bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
  byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();

Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putByteArray("image",byteArray);


  // your fragment code 
fragment.setArguments(b);

get Value via intent

byte[] byteArray = getArgument().getByteArrayExtra("image");
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(byteArray, 0, byteArray.length);
