How can I take Screenshots using Arcore?

I am trying to take a screenshot of my Augmented Reality Screen and pass it as a bitmap to another activity.
This is the code that I am using to take the screenshot:
Function to take screen shot
public static void tmpScreenshot(Bitmap bmp, Context context){
try {
//Write file
String filename = "bitmap.png";
FileOutputStream stream = context.openFileOutput(filename, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
//Cleanup
stream.close();
bmp.recycle();
//Pop intent
Intent in1 = new Intent(context, CostActivity.class);
in1.putExtra("image", filename);
context.startActivity(in1);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Function to receive screenshot
private void loadTmpBitmap() {
Bitmap bmp = null;
String filename = getIntent().getStringExtra("image");
try {
FileInputStream is = this.openFileInput(filename);
bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
ImageView imageView = findViewById(R.id.test);
imageView.setImageBitmap(Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmp, 120, 120, false));
is.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Even though the Screenshot was taken, it was black when it is passed to another activity.
In addition, the Screenshot only appeared after I pressed the back button
Can anyone help me with the code to take a screenshot with ARCore? Or what am I doing wrong?

It is not possible to take a screenshot of a SurfaceView using your method. If you do then the screenshot will be black, as it only works for regular views.
What you need to use is pixelcopy.
private void takePhoto() {
ArSceneView view = arFragment.getArSceneView();
// Create a bitmap the size of the scene view.
final Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getWidth(), view.getHeight(),
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
// Create a handler thread to offload the processing of the image.
final HandlerThread handlerThread = new HandlerThread("PixelCopier");
handlerThread.start();
// Make the request to copy.
PixelCopy.request(view, bitmap, (copyResult) -> {
if (copyResult == PixelCopy.SUCCESS) {
try {
saveBitmapToDisk(bitmap);
} catch (IOException e) {
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(VisualizerActivity.this, e.toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
return;
}
SnackbarUtility.showSnackbarTypeLong(settingsButton, "Screenshot saved in /Pictures/Screenshots");
} else {
SnackbarUtility.showSnackbarTypeLong(settingsButton, "Failed to take screenshot");
}
handlerThread.quitSafely();
}, new Handler(handlerThread.getLooper()));
}
public void saveBitmapToDisk(Bitmap bitmap) throws IOException {
// String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/Pictures/Screenshots/";
if (videoDirectory == null) {
videoDirectory =
new File(
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)
+ "/Screenshots");
}
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH.mm.ss");
String formattedDate = df.format(c.getTime());
File mediaFile = new File(videoDirectory, "FieldVisualizer"+formattedDate+".jpeg");
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(mediaFile);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, fileOutputStream);
fileOutputStream.flush();
fileOutputStream.close();
}

Android CAMERA 2 API captures 0kb images & gives a full white preview. Shows no errors or warnings on logcat

I use Android CAMERA 2 API for the camera2 supporting phones on my app. Works great, but some times it captures 0kb images & gives a full white preview. Shows no errors or warnings on logcat. Below is my camera image capture & save code:

Could any one help on this?
NOTE: The camera, captures and stores an image file as intended, but the file size is 0kb. When the image file is opened on phone or pc, it says "Unsupported format"

It looks like you're taking your final JPEG capture as the very first frame.
This means the camera's auto-exposure routines have not had any time to work (since you're grabbing the first frame), so the image will be captured with the initial settings hardcoded into the camera driver. This may work for some scenes, but in others, the image will be far too bright or far too dark.
For best results, you should first let the camera meter for a while, until auto-exposure and auto-focus are converged.
Generally, this can be done by setting up a low-resolution preview output (use a SurfaceTexture for example), and running it for a second or two (or wait until a CaptureResult has an AE_STATE of CONVERGED). Then issue the JPEG capture.

The right way to load a PDF into an ImageView

I'm looking for the proper way to load a PDF File into an ImageView.
I use the BitmapWorkerTask class from Android.
I have a button which allow me to choose the File I want to upload into the ImageView. When I click on this file, the process begin.
My issue is that my PDF is perfectly load 3 time 5. And I don't understand why it's not working the other time.
ImageView map;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
map = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.pdf);
}
/**

#Nullable
public static Bitmap renderToBitmap(Context context, String filePath) {
Bitmap bi = null;
InputStream inStream = null;
try {
inStream = new FileInputStream(filePath);
bi = renderToBitmap(context, inStream);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
inStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// do nothing because the stream has already been closed
}
}
return bi;
}

And my BitmapWorkerTask.java

private RelativeLayout loadingPanel;

imageViewReference = new WeakReference<ImageView>(imageView);
}
// Decode image in background.
#Override

data = params[0];
Bitmap bm = MainActivity.renderToBitmap(context , mapFilePath1);
return bm;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
loadingPanel = (RelativeLayout)((Activity) context).findViewById(R.id.loadingPanel);
loadingPanel.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
// Once complete, see if ImageView is still around and set bitmap.
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(final Bitmap bitmap) {
if (imageViewReference != null && bitmap != null) {
final ImageView imageView = imageViewReference.get();
if (imageView != null) {
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

}
}
}
public void loadBitmap(int resId, ImageView imageView, String mapFilePath1) {
BitmapWorkerTask task = new BitmapWorkerTask(imageView, mapFilePath1, context);
task.execute(resId);
}
}

Decoding qr code from image stored on the phone with Zxing (on Android phone)

I have an app that receives qr code from the server. I want to decode it (not with intent and camera) and display the text it contains in my app. I have alredy done this in Java SE with jars from zxing with this code:
private class QRCodeDecoder {
public String decode(File imageFile) {
BufferedImage image;
try {
image = ImageIO.read(imageFile);
} catch (IOException e1) {
return "io outch";
}
// creating luminance source
LuminanceSource lumSource = new BufferedImageLuminanceSource(image);
BinaryBitmap bitmap = new BinaryBitmap(new HybridBinarizer(lumSource));
// barcode decoding
QRCodeReader reader = new QRCodeReader();
Result result = null;
try {
result = reader.decode(bitmap);
} catch (ReaderException e) {
return "reader error";
}
return result.getText();
}
}
But on Android, BufferedImage is not found.
Has anyone decoded qr code on android from image stored on the phone?
Tnx.

In android,you can do it this way:
#Override
protected Result doInBackground(Void... params)
{
try
{
InputStream inputStream = activity.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
if (bitmap == null)
{
Log.e(TAG, "uri is not a bitmap," + uri.toString());
return null;
}
int width = bitmap.getWidth(), height = bitmap.getHeight();
int[] pixels = new int[width * height];
bitmap.getPixels(pixels, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);
bitmap.recycle();
bitmap = null;
RGBLuminanceSource source = new RGBLuminanceSource(width, height, pixels);
BinaryBitmap bBitmap = new BinaryBitmap(new HybridBinarizer(source));
MultiFormatReader reader = new MultiFormatReader();
try
{
Result result = reader.decode(bBitmap);
return result;
}
catch (NotFoundException e)
{
Log.e(TAG, "decode exception", e);
return null;
}
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
Log.e(TAG, "can not open file" + uri.toString(), e);
return null;
}
}

Download ZXing from google code, and this class file: ZXing-1.6/zxing-1.6/androidtest/src/com/google/zxing/client/androidtest/RGBLuminanceSource.java can help you.

Quickmark and qr droid actually reads out what the code says, and you can decode barcodes saved on your phone. Hit the menu button when your load the image and select share, find decode qr droid or decode quickmark, and the'll do the magic. I prefer quickmark for reading codes, because it tells me what is typed in the code.
