How to read an image file in internal storage in android?
This example demonstrates How to read an image file in internal storage in android.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools = "http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "match_parent" tools:context = ".MainActivity" android:orientation = "vertical"> <Button android:id = "@+id/read" android:text = "read" android:layout_width = "wrap_content" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" /> <ImageView android:id = "@+id/imageView" android:layout_width = "300dp" android:layout_height = "300dp" /> </LinearLayout>
In the above code, we have taken a button and image view. When user click on button, it will take an image from internal storage and append to image view.
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
package com.example.andy.myapplication;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.ContextWrapper;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import java.io.File;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button read;
ImageView imageView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle readdInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(readdInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView);
read = findViewById(R.id.read);
read.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
ContextWrapper cw = new ContextWrapper(getApplicationContext());
File directory = cw.getDir("imageDir", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
File file = new File(directory, "mario" + ".png");
imageView.setImageDrawable(Drawable.createFromPath(file.toString()));
}
});
