Android Question File Rotation... Can't Get It Done!

[Shadow&Max]

This is weird.

I can rotate the bitmap ok, but the actual container doesn't change.

I want to rotate a bitmap that's in portrait mode, to landscape, and save it as that landscape size. It appears that when I rotate the bitmap, and save it, it's saved as the horizontal picture, inside a portrait container, much of which is black above and below the rotated pic. So, in what's saved, I end up with the rotated image the width of which is the width of the portrait container and the height is only a small portion of the portrait picture, but the rotated picture is in the correct proportions.

I've tried several of the things I found on the site, but still come up with the same result. Here's where I am now:

Sub RotateView(v As View, bmp As Bitmap, degrees As Float)
    Dim c As Canvas
    Dim R As Rect
    'Dim imgratio As Long
    Dim hh2,hw2 As Int
    hh2 = v.Height
    hw2 = v.Width

    c.Initialize(v)
    R.Initialize(0,0,v.Height,v.Width)
    c.DrawRect(R,Colors.transparent,True,0)
    c.DrawBitmapRotated(bmp,Null,R,degrees)
   
    v.SetBackgroundImage(c.Bitmap)

    v.Invalidate
   
    Dim out As OutputStream
    Dim rfile As String
   
    rfile = "rotatetemp.jpg"
    out = File.OpenOutput(File.DirInternal, rfile, False)
    c.Bitmap.WriteToStream(out, 100, "JPEG")
    out.Close
    ResizePreviewPhoto(File.DirInternal,rfile)
    SetPreviewLayout

End Sub

Sub SetPreviewLayout  '(bwidth As Int, bheight As Int)

    'ivPreview.Height = bwidth
    'ivPreview.Width = bheight
   
    ivPreview.Top = (btnShoot.Top / 2) - (ivPreview.Height / 2)
    ivPreview.Left = iv.Left + ((iv.Width / 2) - (ivPreview.Width / 2) )
    DoEvents
    btnRotateLeft.Top = (ivPreview.Top + ivPreview.Height / 2) - btnRotateLeft.Height / 2
    btnRotateRight.Top = btnRotateLeft.Top
    btnRotateLeft.Left = ivPreview.Left - btnRotateLeft.Width - 20dip
    btnRotateRight.Left = ivPreview.Left + ivPreview.Width +  20dip   
End Sub

Sub ResizePreviewPhoto (Dir As String, FileName As String)
    Dim bm2 As Bitmap
    bm2.InitializeSample(Dir, FileName, 100dip, 100dip)
    hip = bm2.Height
    wip = bm2.Width
    ivPreview.Bitmap = bm2
        If hip = wip Then 'It's Square
            ivPreview.Height = 100dip
            ivPreview.Width = 100dip
        Else If hip > wip Then 'It's Portrait
            imageratio = (wip / hip)
            ivPreview.Height = 100dip
            ivPreview.Width = ivPreview.Height  * imageratio  '- 20dip
        Else 'It's Landscape
            imageratio = (hip / wip)
            ivPreview.Width = 100dip 'pnl.Width '- 40dip
            ivPreview.Height = ivPreview.Width * imageratio
        End If
End Sub

I don't know what to do next. This SHOULD work, shouldn't it? If not, where'd I go wrong here?

 

[Erel]

What is the size of v?

 

[strat]

This works but causes some blur effects after rotation. I couldn't find why it occurs.

v is a imageview... ivPreview... 200h, 112 w originally...

What I'm doing here is this:

I have a pic on the original screen. I bring up a panel with a small preview pic, that gets rotated. When the user's happy with that, I'll take the temp file I'm creating during the rotation, and copy it over the original file on the original screen.

I'm not sure what the original dimensions of the picture are on the main screen. But I reload the picture into that ivPreview, manipulate it there, and then will go back. The problem is that the preview image is out of whack...

FYI, I wasn't saving the preview image at first, but I added the code because the preview pane would shrink in weird ways each time. The proportions never stayed the same, becoming thinner and thinner.

The original picture...

The original preview pic:

Rotated once:

Rotated again:

 

[Erel]

Can you upload this image file?

 

[Shadow&Max]

Sure... it happens with ALL pictures though...

 

[Shadow&Max]

Let me make sure I'm clear about what I'm trying to do...

The picture attached is on the main screen. When they click the edit button, the second shot comes up. In it is a preview made by calling ResizePreviewPhoto wit the dir and file name of the file that's in the main screen. ResizePreviewPhoto shrinks it down to the preview size.

I rotate the picture, as many times as the user wants, and then, when they're satisfied, I rotate the existing image and copy it to a temp file, and if they stay with it, delete the first, original file, and rename the temp file to a new name, then store it in the database...

When the preview opens, it's correct, as shown, on the first rotate, it shrinks, but the aspect is completely wrong.. Then, on the second rotate, it's smaller, but the aspect is correct as it's upside down portrait, but the smaller size. Then it rotates again and gets smaller once more... But at that smaller size it stays, but constantly degrades the background of the ivPreview ImageView to some pixilated mess.

Based on this solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...esults-in-squashed-image-need-a-true-rotate-b

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Dim NewImage As Bitmap = RotateImage(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "MVC-748F.jpg"), 180)
   Dim iv As ImageView
   iv.Initialize("")
   Activity.AddView(iv, 0, 0, NewImage.Width, NewImage.Height)
   iv.SetBackgroundImage(NewImage)
   iv.Gravity = Gravity.FILL
End Sub

Sub RotateImage(original As Bitmap, degree As Float) As Bitmap
   Dim matrix As JavaObject
   matrix.InitializeNewInstance("android.graphics.Matrix", Null)
   matrix.RunMethod("postRotate", Array(degree))
   Dim bmp As JavaObject
   bmp.InitializeStatic("android.graphics.Bitmap")
   Dim NewImage As Bitmap = bmp.RunMethod("createBitmap", Array(original, 0, 0, original.Width, original.Height, _
     matrix, True))
   Return NewImage
End Sub

 

[Shadow&Max]

Thanks Erel... I'll try this out and see how it goes... Really appreciate the feedback...

 

[Shadow&Max]

Thanks Erel... Took a while to get it right, but you put me on the right track. I had a lot of fudging to do with the two panels and multiple ImageViews... Got it though... Thanks!

 

[squaremation]

matrix.RunMethod("postRotate", Array(degree))

In this line I get the error, 'as' expected ?

 

[Shadow&Max]

Post some of your code so we can see what you're doing. I'm using that call without issue...

 

[squaremation]

Post some of your code so we can see what you're doing. I'm using that call without issue...

Sub RotateImage(minHand As Bitmap, degree As Float) As Bitmap
  Dim matrix As JavaObject
  Dim bmp As JavaObject
  matrix.InitializeNewInstance("android.graphics.Matrix", Null)
  matrix.RunMethod("postRotate", Array(degree)) 
  bmp.InitializeStatic("android.graphics.Bitmap")
  Dim NewImage As Bitmap = bmp.RunMethod("createBitmap", Array(minHand, 0, 0, minHand.Width, minHand.Height, _
    matrix, True))
  Return NewImage
End Sub

 

[Shadow&Max]

Are you passing the degrees to rotate when you call this and is that number passed a variable?

 

[squaremation]

Are you passing the degrees to rotate when you call this and is that number passed a variable?

Dim NewImage As Bitmap = RotateImage(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "min.png"), 6)

 

[Shadow&Max]

Just as a test... call it something other than newimage in the call.

Also, I found that breaking the lines u helped me for some reason... maybe it was just visual, but I recall that I broke it up for a reason...

May be a shot in the dark because that same code is working fine for me, but try:

Dim TestImage as Bitmap
TestImage = LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "min.png")
TestImage = RotateImage(TestImage, 6)

 

[squaremation]

Tried it no go

For some reason i can't get any methods to rotate a image to work.
I must be doing something wrong it seems straight forward, idk

 

[Shadow&Max]

When you tried that other code, did you get the same error or did it just not rotate?

[aggelos]

For the next guy who comes across the rotateimage

if you get the error, 'as' expected
Try changing the lines

matrix.RunMethod ("postRotate", Array(degree))
to
matrix.RunMethod ("postRotate", Array as Object(degree))

and

Dim TestImage AsBitmap = bmp.RunMethod("createBitmap", Array(minHand, 0, 0, minHand.Width, minHand.Height, _matrix, True))
to
Dim TestImage AsBitmap = bmp.RunMethod("createBitmap", Array as Object(minHand, 0, 0, minHand.Width, minHand.Height, _matrix, True))
