Show Image View from file path?

Question

I need to show an image by using the file name only, not from the resource id.

ImageView imgView = new ImageView(this);
imgView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.img1);

I have the image img1 in the drawable folder. I wish to show that image from the file.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Labeeb is right about why you need to set image using path if your resources are already laying inside the resource folder ,

This kind of path is needed only when your images are stored in SD-Card .

And try the below code to set Bitmap images from a file stored inside a SD-Card .

File imgFile = new  File("/sdcard/Images/test_image.jpg");

if(imgFile.exists()){

    Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());

    ImageView myImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageviewTest);

    myImage.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);

}

And include this permission in the manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Almost: ´decodeFile´ takes a String and not a ´java.io.File´. – Incase

Martin the method being called on the java.io.File getAbsolutePath() is returning the string. – Evelyn

While this works and its correct, its never recommended to "hit" the disk on the main thread. BitmapFactory related methods should be called in a bg thread. Picasso will handle that for you automatically. – Mannes

So you almost never want to copy paste this code because you are essentially loading the entire raw image into memory. The image should be resized and loaded into memory in the background. Then the image should be set to the ImageView. – Breve

Assuming the file is resized properly and you have the filepath, I'd recommend the following method: #3005213. i.e. ImageView.setImageURI(Uri.fromFile(new File("/sdcard/cats.jpg"))); – Heal

Geting a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError on low end phones . – Jonme

It's important to know that this method has the potential of causing OutOfMemory exceptions! – Dactylic

Answer 2

I think you can use this

Bitmap bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("path of your img1");
imageView.setImageBitmap(bmImg);

Proclaim

Bitmap bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("res\\drawable-hdpi\\img1.png"); I set path like the above But i am not able to show the image – Esdras

Ho you cannot use that path of your res here. that can only be used to store image form sd card or other memory. I wondered, why u need to set image using path if your resource is there in resource folder – Proclaim

Answer 3

You can also use:

    File imgFile = new  File(“filepath”);
    if(imgFile.exists())
    {
        ImageView myImage = new ImageView(this);
        myImage.setImageURI(Uri.fromFile(imgFile));

    }

This does the bitmap decoding implicit for you.

Answer 4

All the answers are outdated. It is best to use picasso for such purposes. It has a lot of features including background image processing.

Did I mention it is super easy to use:

Picasso.with(context).load(new File(...)).into(imageView);

Ululate

And it doesn't require permissions if working with file from gallery or camera. – Dilate

Update: Picasso.get().load(new File(...)).into(imageView); – Debbiedebbra

Answer 5

String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+ "/Images/test.jpg";

File imgFile = new File(path);
if(imgFile.exists())
{
   Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());
   ImageView imageView=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
  imageView.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
}

From the official site: http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/load-bitmap.html

ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imagePreview);           
try {
    image.setImageBitmap(decodeSampledBitmap(picFilename));
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Here the methods:

    private int calculateInSampleSize(
            BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
        // Raw height and width of image
        final int height = options.outHeight;
        final int width = options.outWidth;
        int inSampleSize = 1;

        if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {

            final int halfHeight = height / 2;
            final int halfWidth = width / 2;

            // Calculate the largest inSampleSize value that is a power of 2 and keeps both
            // height and width larger than the requested height and width.
            while ((halfHeight / inSampleSize) > reqHeight
                    && (halfWidth / inSampleSize) > reqWidth) {
                inSampleSize *= 2;
            }
        }

        return inSampleSize;
    }

    private Bitmap decodeSampledBitmap(String pathName,
            int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {

        // First decode with inJustDecodeBounds=true to check dimensions
        final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
        BitmapFactory.decodeFile(pathName, options);

        // Calculate inSampleSize
        options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, reqWidth, reqHeight);

        // Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
        return BitmapFactory.decodeFile(pathName, options);
    }

//I added this to have a good approximation of the screen size: 
    private Bitmap decodeSampledBitmap(String pathName) {
        Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
        Point size = new Point();
        display.getSize(size);
        int width = size.x;
        int height = size.y;
        return decodeSampledBitmap(pathName, width, height);
    }

How To Show Images From Folder path in Android

Very First: Make Sure You Have Add Permissions into Mainfest file:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

:Make a Class MyGallery

public class MyGallery extends Activity {


    private GridView gridView;
    private String _location;

    private String newFolder = "/IslamicGif/";
    private String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();

Add your own Drawable to Selector class,and create it res>drawable>selector_shareimage.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<item android:drawable="@drawable/result_bt_mail" android:state_enabled="true" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/result_bt_mail" android:state_enabled="true" android:state_focused="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/result_bt_mail" android:state_enabled="true" android:state_selected="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/result_bt_mail_s"/>

Dont forget to add in application tag for sdk version 29 and 30 to add this line

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

 <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

This question is JUST about "Show Image View from file path" ! – Zakaria

The great example that less is more! You overcomplicated your answer. – Lepine

Answer 8

You can use:

ImageView imgView = new ImageView(this);
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/drawable/" + fileName);
imgView.setImageDrawable(Drawable.createFromStream(is, ""));

Answer 9

You may use this to access a specific folder and get particular image

 public void Retrieve(String path, String Name)
   {
    File imageFile = new File(path+Name);

    if(imageFile.exists()){

        Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path+Name);
        myImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.savedImage);
        myImage.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
        Toast.makeText(SaveImage.this, myBitmap.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    }
}

And then you can call it by

Retrieve(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+"/Aqeel/Images/","Image2.PNG");
Toast.makeText(SaveImage.this, "Saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

       public static Bitmap decodeFile(String path) {
    Bitmap b = null;
    File f = new File(path);

    o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;

    FileInputStream fis = null;
    try {

        int scale = 1;
        if (o.outHeight > IMAGE_MAX_SIZE || o.outWidth > IMAGE_MAX_SIZE) {

        BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        o2.inSampleSize = scale;

        fis = new FileInputStream(f);
        b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis, null, o2);
        fis.close();

    } catch (Exception e) {

    } catch (Exception e) {
        MyLog.e("Exception showBitmapFromFile");

}   

if you are using image loading in List view then use Aquery concept .

https://github.com/AshishPsaini/AqueryExample

     AQuery  aq= new AQuery((Activity) activity, convertView);
            //load image from file, down sample to target width of 250 pixels .gi 
    File file=new File("//pic/path/here/aaaa.jpg");
    if(aq!=null)
    aq.id(holder.pic_imageview).image(file, 250);

Answer 12

Most of the answers are working but no one mentioned that the high resolution image will slow down the app , In my case i used images RecyclerView which was taking 0.9 GB of device memory In Just 30 Images.

I/Choreographer: Skipped 73 frames! The application may be doing too much work on its main thread.

The solution is Sipmle you can degrade the quality like here : Reduce resolution of Bitmap

But I use Simple way , Glide handles the rest of work

fanContext?.let {
            Glide.with(it)
                .load(Uri.fromFile(File(item.filePath)))
                .into(viewHolder.imagePreview)
        }

You can easily do this using bitmap. You can find the code below :

ImageView imageView=findViewById(R.id.imageView);

Bitmap bitMapImage= BitmapFactory.decodeFile("write path of your image");

imageView.setImageBitmap(bitMapImage);
