As an experiment to develop a more advanced application, I was trying to make an application that consisted of a button and a imageView
component, so that when I pressed the button a% bitmap that I have stored on my phone.
However after running my application, what happens is that when I press the button nothing appears, or rather, imageView
appears a completely blank image. I think this might be related to the imageView
method or even to the code structure for defining the image directory.
I can do this for the case where I use a JPEG image for example, and this image is stored in the folder setImageBitmap()
of the package of my application. In this case I use drawable-mdpi
to make the image display. But what I really wanted was to present an image that was stored somewhere on my mobile phone.
MainActivity.java file:
package com.example.showimages;
import java.io.File;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.*;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
File imgFile;
ImageView myImage;
Bitmap myBitmap;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
String sd_path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
imgFile = new File(sd_path, "foto1.jpg");
myImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());
button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
myImage.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
}
});
}
}
