I am new for Android. I want to create an jar file if i call a method of that jar file in another android application it will show an image in imageview of the application. For example
a method in jar file as DisplayImg(URL); i will use this jar as library in another application and here i will create an imageview
ImageView imageView;
imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img);
Then if i call imageView.DisplayImg(URL); then it will display specified url image on the imageview. I spend lot more time to get the solution but not work.plz help with the code thank
You don't need to create a library, in fact, there is a same library available for doing exactly what you want to!
It's called Picasso. You can find it here.
Also note that if you want imageView.DisplayImage(URL); you should create a new instance of ImageView class, because it doesn't contain this method. I recommend using DisplayImage(URL, imageView);.
But in case you REALLY WANT to do this, here you go:
1- For creating a library, create a New Android Application Project, and in the second window, check Mark this project as a library option. Also notice that we don't need Activity.
2- Create a new class, such as ImageUtils.java in the newly-created project. Here you need to put the DisplayImage() method:
public static void DisplayImage(String URL, ImageView imageView) {
new DownloadImageTask(imageView).execute(URL);
}
And this for the DownloadImageTask class :
public static class DownloadImageTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {
ImageView imageView;
public DownloadImageTask(ImageView bmImage) {
this.imageView = bmImage;
}
protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... urls) {
String urldisplay = urls[0];
Bitmap imageBitmap = null;
try {
InputStream in = new java.net.URL(urldisplay).openStream();
imageBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
} catch (IOException e) {
// Probably there's no Internet connection. Warn the user about checking his/her connection.
Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
return imageBitmap;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
if (imageView != null) imageView.setImageBitmap(result);
}
}
3- Execute your project as an android application.
4- There should be a jar file under the bin folder. It's your library. Import it to your other applications and use it. In that applications you can use it with this code:
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img);
ImageUtils.DisplayImage(URL, imageView);
5- Don't forget to add this permission to the apps that use this library:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
Hope it helps :)

I have a problem with the user profile picture update in my android application.
Introduction
In my MainActivity I can switch between two Fragments, the first one is the HomeFragment and the second is the UserProfileFragment.
In the UserProfile, the user can decide to upload a new image, so i let the user pick the image from local storage, then i upload this picture into FirebaseStorage and get the download link.
I use a class called LoadImageTask extending an AsyncTask that download the image from url and then upload the resulting bitmap into an ImageView that i have in my UserProfileFragment.
The problem:
When a user uploads a new profile picture, LoadImageTask does his job correctly. The problem is that, when the user tries to update his profile picture, the ImageView is still showing the old image and the user must go to HomeFragment and then go back to the UserProfileFragment to see the update. So, basically the update works but the Profile Picture change is not showed immediately.
What i tried to do
I tried many things like invalidating the imageView or trying to force the imageView in other ways but it didn't worked.
public class LoadImageTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {
private ImageView image;
public LoadImageTask(ImageView image) {
this. image = image;
}
#Override
protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... urls) {
String downloadUrl = urls[0];
Bitmap bitmap = null;
try {
java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(downloadUrl);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url
.openConnection();
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.connect();
InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bitmap;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
if(result != null) {
image.setImageBitmap(circleTransformation(result));
}
}
}
When you pick image from the local storage you can set image to imageView from the uri in your onActivityResult.
imageView.setImageURI(imgUri);
Need to generate thumbnail from video stored in server, below is my code but "path" variable is giving problem, how to get it resolved. If i remove path parameter with url parameter then i am getting the thumbnails but not in proper order or sometimes same thumbnail is generated for 2 or 3 videos, below is my code -
Video video = mVideos.get(position);
//play video using android api, when video view is clicked.
url = video.getVideoUrl(); // your URL here
Uri videoUri = Uri.parse(url);
new DownloadImage(holder.videothumbView).execute(url);
public class DownloadImage extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {
ImageView bmImage;
public DownloadImage(ImageView bmImage) {
this.bmImage = (ImageView ) bmImage;
}
protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... urls) {
Bitmap myBitmap = null;
MediaMetadataRetriever mMRetriever = null;
try {
mMRetriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14)
mMRetriever.setDataSource(path, new HashMap<String, String>());
else
mMRetriever.setDataSource(path);
myBitmap = mMRetriever.getFrameAtTime();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (mMRetriever != null) {
mMRetriever.release();
}
}
return myBitmap;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
bmImage.setImageBitmap(result);
}
}
All the network related task must be done in a separate thread. You can't do it in main thread. You can use Picasso image library. It is open source and you can show different image for different state like loading, error etc.
Picasso.with(context) // your activity of other context referance
.load(video.getVideoUrl())
.placeholder(R.drawable.user_placeholder) // this will show during image loading from network
.error(R.drawable.user_placeholder_error) // error image to display
.into(holder.videothumbView);
I want to set an Image Source in Android,
XML :
<ImageView
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:id="#+id/main"
android:src="#drawable/malayali"
android:layout_marginTop="100dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="80dp"
/>
Java :
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
public SharedPreferences exactPreferences;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
exactPreferences = getSharedPreferences("details",MODE_PRIVATE);
getSupportActionBar().hide();
new RetriveIcon().execute(); //Api Calling & Storing value in SharedPreference
String value = exactPreferences.getString("main_url",null);
Log.i("from exactpreference",value); // Working fine !!! (http://www.exampple.com/storage/images/filename.jpeg)
ImageView banner = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.main);
banner.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.value));
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
androidStudio showing error in the below line of value as red.
banner.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.value));
ERROR:
Cannot resolve symbol 'value'
How can I solve this Error ?
If you are dealing with the drawable name in your Resources folder, then Your problem is one of those options:-
1)You don't have the drawable value in your Resources.
Make sure it exists in your resources folder.
2)You are importing the wrong R in your activity
Make sure you are importing your application R not the android one.
If your are using a Direct URL for the image. I recommend you to use Universal Lazy Loader third party for that. All you have to do is to pass the image direct URL and the ImageView and it will do the job for you.
In your Gradle file "Module:app"
dependencies {
compile 'com.nostra13.universalimageloader:universal-image-loader:1.9.3'
....
}
Are you trying to load an image from your drawable folder or download one from the Internet?
This:
banner.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.value));
Will work if you have a value.png file in one of your drawable folders. If you are trying to load an image from the net (i.e. something like this: http://www.exampple.com/storage/images/filename.jpeg), you'll need to download it first and set the bitmap as an ImageView source. There are many 3rd party libraries doing this. Take a look at Picasso:
Picasso.with(this).load(value).into(banner);
EDIT:
In order to add Picasso you need to update the build.gradle file (the one which refers to a module not project). You should have a section like this:
dependencies {
...
}
You need to add this line inside it:
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
Try this Simple code
ImageView banner = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.main);
banner.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.value);
But image name must be value and store in your drawable folder.
Try this :
String uri = "#drawable/myresource.png";
int imageResource = getResources().getIdentifier(uri, null, getPackageName());
imageview= (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
Drawable res = getResources().getDrawable(imageResource);
imageView.setImageDrawable(res);
Note : This is sample code.
You want to set your imageview's background with an online image file. You can use this example on your project. Usage of this is very easy.
Also in your codes, you should change some lines after adding classes from the above link:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
exactPreferences = getSharedPreferences("details",MODE_PRIVATE);
getSupportActionBar().hide();
new RetriveIcon().execute(); //Api Calling & Storing value in SharedPreference
String value = exactPreferences.getString("main_url",null);
Log.i("from exactpreference",value); // Working fine !!! (http://www.exampple.com/storage/images/filename.jpeg)
// ImageLoader class instance
ImageLoader imgLoader = new ImageLoader(getApplicationContext());
ImageView banner = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.main);
imgLoader.DisplayImage(value, 0, banner);
}
Good luck.
I have this ImageAdapter for android's listView:
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = null;
RelativeLayout relativeLayout = null;
Offer currentOffer = mOffersList.get(position);
if (convertView == null) { // create a new view if no recycling
// available
// Make up a new view
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.offer_list_item, null);
relativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) view
.findViewById(R.id.offerImage);
} else {
view = (View) convertView;
relativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) view
.findViewById(R.id.offerImage);
setBackgroundDrawable(relativeLayout, null);
}
String imageUrl = "";
imageUrl = currentOffer.getImageUrl().toString();
Bitmap bitmap = imageCache.get(imageUrl);
if (bitmap != null) {
Drawable dr = new BitmapDrawable(mContext.getResources(), bitmap);
setBackgroundDrawable(relativeLayout, dr);
} else {
if (!downloadingImageUrls.contains(imageUrl)) {
downloadingImageUrls.add(imageUrl);
new DownloadImageAsyncTask().execute(imageUrl);
}
}
return view;
}
and this:
class DownloadImageAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(String... params) {
String imageUrl = params[0];
try {
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory
.decodeStream((InputStream) new URL(imageUrl)
.getContent());
imageCache.put(imageUrl, bitmap);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("DownloadImageAsyncTask", "Error reading bitmap" + e);
}
downloadingImageUrls.remove(imageUrl);
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
why do all of the list items loaded together? it's don' asynchronously but yet not one by one. All together.
how can i load it lazily?
and why is this code more efficient?
// better
public class DownloadImageAsyncTask2 extends
AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {
private final ImageView imageView;
public DownloadImageAsyncTask2(ImageView imageView) {
this.imageView = imageView;
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
Log.i("DownloadImageAsyncTask", "Starting image download task...");
}
#Override
protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... params) {
try {
return BitmapFactory.decodeStream((InputStream) new URL(
params[0]).getContent());
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("DownloadImageAsyncTask", "Error reading bitmap" + e);
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap bitmap) {
if (bitmap != null) {
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
}
}
To answer your initial question, any adapter you write is exactly as it's called; it's an adapter. It lets you translate your data into Views displayed in an AdapterView. It would not make sense to force all views to be "loaded lazily" and, quite frankly, should not do that for a few reasons.
Maybe you have prefetched all your images and don't need lazy loading. Maybe they even just come from resources and don't need to be handled in a special way at all.
How would it know from where to lazily load your images (database, memory map, file, network resource, other android service, etc.)? That's your job when writing the adapter.
You might argue it would be nice for Adapter subclasses to have a loadLazily(Uri image, ImageView view) function. If so why not subclass AbsAdapter yourself and add it or submit a patch to the AOSP. I, however, doubt you will find agreement that even a function like that should be included as part of an Adapter. It's really your job to manage your data in an efficient manner, despite how normal it is to lean on the system for data management in Android.
To answer your other questions about the two methods of lazy loading you proposed, the difference is that the first method causes the AdapterView to reload all of its Views whereas in the second method you are simply invalidating the view into which you are loading the image.
I don't actually agree the second method is "better" on a whole because every time your configuration is changed or process dies and Views need to be reloaded you need to make new calls over the network or to the file system to load your images. If you cache them as you do in the first method then you can at least avoid needing to reload all the images through configuration changes. If you wrote a separate image loading service that ran in its own process (not something I'm recommending) you could also avoid the second case (of your :default process getting killed).
Point is, you're responsible for loading your images, not Android. If you want it done for you take a look at these great image loading or otherwise general resource acquisition libraries for android: Local image caching solution for Android: Square Picasso vs Universal Image Loader . I've personally used Universal-Image-Loader before and admit it works as advertised. However, it caches all your images on external storage which might not be an option for you.
The listview can call getView for all items in its onMeasure (cf. measureHeightOfChildren in listView.java).
So, with this getView, it loads all images.
To load lazily, you need to load images elsewhere: let the views ask the image when needed (onDraw) to a manager (which will load them asynchronously).
notifyDataSetChanged() with update all the listview (meaning recycling views, calling getView ...), imageView.setImageBitmap will update only the ImageView so it's a better idea.
use this imageloader it works IMAGELOADER
You can use this library https://github.com/thest1/LazyList. It's very easy to use.
I have a Adobe Air application that intend to take a screenshot with Native Extension on Android device, but the java code returns a black image.
public FREObject call(FREContext context, FREObject[] params) {
View view = context.getActivity().getWindow().getDecorView();
view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
view.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap image = view.getDrawingCache();
}
I don't know much about Adobe Air. My java code runs exactly on Android Java Application, but returns black image on Adobe Air Android Application with Native Extension.
Is there any solution or any way to take a screenshot using Java in NativeExtension?
Thanks much!
Could be that you are not getting the correct view. Try this to get the topmost root view.
public FREObject call(FREContext context, FREObject[] params)
{
View view = findViewById(android.R.id.content).getRootView();
view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap image = view.getDrawingCache();
if(image == null)
{
System.out.println("Image returned was null!");
}
}
I also removed the buildDrawingCache() line; that can sometimes cause issues, and from what I've read it's not completely necessary.
Finally you'll want to check if the bitmap being returned is null. If so that could be why it's all black.
You can take a screenshot like this and save it to the SD card:
View content = findViewById(R.id.layoutroot);
content.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Function to get the rendered view:
private void getScreen()
{
View content = findViewById(R.id.layoutroot);
Bitmap bitmap = content.getDrawingCache();
File file = new File( Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/asdf.png");
try
{
file.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, ostream);
ostream.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
You have to add this permission to your AndroidManifest (if you want to save it):
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
