How to Compress the captured image file size before sending to server using retrofit

Question

I am Using Retrofit retrofit:2.1.0' to upload file image to server

If I take image using front camera image get uploaded successfully but if take back side camera its not uploaded i think because of large file size image not uploaded is there any option to compress the file size before sending to server in retrofit?

File Sending Coding

  map.put("complaint_category", RequestBody.create(parse("text"), caty_id_str.getBytes()));

    // Map is used to multipart the file using okhttp3.RequestBody
    File file = new File(Config.uriImage);
    // Parsing any Media type file
    RequestBody requestBody = RequestBody.create(parse("*/*"), file);
    MultipartBody.Part fileToUpload = MultipartBody.Part.createFormData("photo", file.getName(), requestBody);
    RequestBody filename = RequestBody.create(parse("text/plain"), file.getName());

    Call<PostComplaint> call3 = apiInterface.postComplaint(fileToUpload, filename, map);
    call3.enqueue(new Callback<PostComplaint>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call<PostComplaint> call, Response<PostComplaint> response) {

            progressDoalog.dismiss();

            PostComplaint respon = response.body();

            PostComplaint.Response respo = respon.getResponse();

            String result = respo.getResult();
            String data = respo.getData();
            if (result.equalsIgnoreCase("Success")) {

                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), data, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                Intent intent = new Intent(Activity_Post_Complaint.this, MainActivity.class);

            } else {

                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), data, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            Log.d("Error", "" + t.getMessage());
            call.cancel();

Try

int compressionRatio = 2; //1 == originalImage, 2 = 50% compression, 4=25% compress
File file = new File (imageUrl);
try {
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile (file.getPath ());
    bitmap.compress (Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, compressionRatio, new FileOutputStream (file));
}
catch (Throwable t) {
    Log.e("ERROR", "Error compressing file." + t.toString ());
    t.printStackTrace ();
}

Thank you so much it worked but image quality very poor. – Artificer

What value of compressionRatio you used? – Deity

Accept answer if it was helpful. – Deity

now i used ratio 25 its working fine thank you so much you saved my time. – Artificer

@Pehlaj I'm using retrofit as well, your code final result is Bitmap how to use it with RequestBody ? ( RequestBody don't accept Bitmap ) – Paff

@AliAdil You have to convert bitmap to base64 string and then use that string with Request body. #9224556 – Deity

pls check with the ratio – Granlund

Answer 2

If you are looking for image compression, you may use this library https://github.com/zetbaitsu/Compressor . It is pretty much simple and awesome. The link explains it all.

Answer 3

you can using from ImageZipper for image compression, you can change its size and quality

Add this to your root build.gradle file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Add this to your app module's build.gradle file:

implementation 'com.github.amanjeetsingh150:ImageZipper:1.3'

Custom Compressor :

 File imageZipperFile=new ImageZipper(MainActivity.this)
                    .setQuality(50)
                    .setMaxWidth(300)
                    .setMaxHeight(300)
                    .compressToFile(actualFile);

   RequestBody requestBody = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("*/*"), imageZipperFile);
                MultipartBody.Part fileToUpload = MultipartBody.Part.createFormData("file", URLEncoder.encode(imageZipperFile.getName(), "utf-8"), requestBody);
                RequestBody filename = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("text/plain"), Hawk.get("auth_email").toString());
                Call<ResponseModel> call = service.fileUpload(filename,fileToUpload);

OK Now Get Bitmap!!

 Bitmap b=new ImageZipper(MainActivity.this).compressToBitmap(actualFile);

Answer 4

try following code:

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file);
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bmp.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, bos);
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(bos.toByteArray());
ContentBody foto = new InputStreamBody(in, "image/jpeg", "filename");

Sending compressed capture image to server with text

Capture Image:

public void captureImage() {

    Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

    try {

        path = createImageFile();

        file = FileProvider.getUriForFile(MainActivity.this,
                BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider", path);

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    List<ResolveInfo> resInfoList = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
    for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : resInfoList) {
        String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
        context.grantUriPermission(packageName, file, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION | Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
    }

    intent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, file);
    startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO);
}

onActivityResult:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

            Config.uriImage = String.valueOf(path);

            Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Activity_Category.class);
            startActivity(intent);

            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), Config.uriImage, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }
}

Create Path:

private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
    // Create an image file name
    String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
    String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
    File storageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
            Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM), "Camera");
    File image = File.createTempFile(
            imageFileName,  /* prefix */
            ".jpg",         /* suffix */
            storageDir      /* directory */
    );

    // Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
    mCurrentPhotoPath = "file:" + image.getAbsolutePath();
    return image;
}
