Multiple Images from Gallery convert to PDF

Hi can someone help me how can I add to pdf the selected images from gallery? I already have working code but it can only convert one bitmap.
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)

this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
float hight = displaymetrics.heightPixels ;
float width = displaymetrics.widthPixels ;
int convertHighet = (int) hight, convertWidth = (int) width;
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
PdfDocument.PageInfo pageInfo = new PdfDocument.PageInfo.Builder(bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), 1).create();
PdfDocument.Page page = document.startPage(pageInfo);
Canvas canvas = page.getCanvas();
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));
canvas.drawPaint(paint);
bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), true);
paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0 , null);
document.finishPage(page);
// write the document content

boolean_save=true;
} catch (IOException e) {

Android Studio Camera App Saving to Internal Storage

Currently looking for help on saving images from a camera app to internal storage do to Nexus not having an SD card, our current code saves the photos taken to an SD card folder and the quality is not good.
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private ImageView imageHolder;
private final int requestCode = 20;
public final static String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.test1.cam.camapp.MESSAGE";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
imageHolder = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.captured_photo);
Button capturedImageButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.photo_button);
capturedImageButton.setOnClickListener( new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent photoCaptureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(photoCaptureIntent, requestCode);
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(this.requestCode == requestCode && resultCode == RESULT_OK){
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)data.getExtras().get("data");
String partFilename = currentDateFormat();
storeCameraPhotoInSDCard(bitmap, partFilename);
// display the image from SD Card to ImageView Control
String storeFilename = "photo_" + partFilename + ".jpg";
Bitmap mBitmap = getImageFileFromSDCard(storeFilename);
imageHolder.setImageBitmap(mBitmap);
}
}

}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

To improve the image quality you should change compression to PNG, or change the second parameters to 100 (PNG is lossless and will ignore second params).
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out);
To change external into internal just change
File outputFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "photo_" + currentDate + ".jpg");
into
File outputFile = new File(context.getFilesDir(), "photo_" + currentDate + ".jpg");

The image you are trying to save returns you jest the thumbnail of the actual image that is why you are getting low quality image. You should pass the image name to the intent to save the high quality image when it is captured
Following Helper class that I use for image capture may be of some help to you

How to select more than one photo from the gallery?

I'm building a GIF Creator for my graduation project. What it is, when I try to select from the gallery a photo it just gets it to the view, I want to select more than one photo simultaneously not to go to select photo to get another picture. As well as that I've created a button so if the user changes their mind they can delete and start from scratch not having to restart the application however I don't know what the code is for that.
The main activity:

You can use custom library for multiple image pick like
1) MultiSelectRecyclerGalleryGridView
2) MultipleImagePick

like Kyle Shank answered
https://stackoverflow.com/a/19848052/5090511
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
Or you can use something like that:

Efficient way to send data onActivityResult to another activity

So I want to load an image from gallery with overriding onActivityResult . What is an efficient way to send intent data to another activity?
Currently using this code to to get image path before sending it to the other activity:
protected void onActivityResult(final int requestCode, final int resultCode, final Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK && null != data) {
Uri selected_image = data.getData();
if (selected_image.toString().substring(0, 21).equals("content://com.android")) {
String[] photo_split = selected_image.toString().split("%3A");
String imageUriBasePath = "content://media/external/images/media/" + photo_split[1];
selected_image = Uri.parse(imageUriBasePath);
}
String[] file_path_column = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selected_image, file_path_column, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndex(file_path_column[0]);
image_path = cursor.getString(column_index);
cursor.close();
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ImageActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("imagePath", image_path);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
The problem is that this code does not seem to work in a good way, since after selecting an image from gallery app, the gallery lags for few seconds before loading the image into the other activity.

Try this, following is for getting image from both camera and gallery:
ImageView photo;
Bitmap bmp;
static int GET_PICTURE = 1, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST = 2;
static String selectedImagePath = "";
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST) {
// deleteDialog.dismiss();
bmp = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
} else if (requestCode == GET_PICTURE) {
if (bmp != null) {
bmp.recycle();
}
// deleteDialog.dismiss();
Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
selectedImagePath = getRealPathFromURI(selectedImageUri);

options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeFile(selectedImagePath, options);
options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, 200,
200);
options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(selectedImagePath, options);
}

bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
Bitmap outputs = getRoundedBitmap(bmp,10);
last = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(outputs, 200, 200, false);
if (last != null) {
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
last.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, baos);
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();
String temp = Base64.encodeToString(b, Base64.DEFAULT);
photo.setImageBitmap(last);
// userimage.setBackgroundResource(android.R.color.transparent);
}
} else {

}

Saving an image with its thumb and showing on imageView android

I am trying to save an image taken from camera and then storing it on sdCard along with its Thumb also showing this thumb on an imageView.
However it gives error at Null pointer
imageBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(imageBitmap, 40, 40, false);
What is wrong?

{

}
else
{
Integer val = myMisc.miscId ;
String fileName = "image" + "_" + title.getText().toString()+"_" + val.toString();
photo = this.createFile(fileName, ".jpg");
myMisc.filename = photo.getAbsolutePath();
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photo));
startActivityForResult(intent, RESULT_CAMERA_SELECT);
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.v("Error", "Can't create file to take picture!");
displayAlert("Can't create file to take picture!","SDCard Error!");

It's probably because of the decodeStream method.
Bitmap imageBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is2, null, options);
You parsed null at the when it asks for a Rectangle and when you tried to create a scaled bitmap it was not valid.

i found my error Bitmap imageBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is2, null, options); decoding twice
