I have an application that can take a snapshot using the full code below. My question is how to either access the thumbnail stored in jpeg or create a new sketch. Either put the code in this class, or a separate class that checks the folder based on an event or schedule and generates thumbnails in order.
In particular, I installed a thumbnail for it, but in any case I can’t access it. I tried to implement ExifInterface, and also tried to manually resize the photo. I was able to put other parameters in Jpeg Exif (put some random numbers for latitude and longitude). Viewing the file confirmed that the numbers were written. Many thanks.
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder,int format, int width, int height) {
Camera.Parameters parameters=camera.getParameters();
parameters.setPreviewSize(width, height);
parameters.setPictureFormat(PixelFormat.JPEG);
parameters.setJpegThumbnailQuality(50);
parameters.setJpegThumbnailSize(192, 256);
camera.setParameters(parameters);
camera.startPreview();
}
This is what I tried and failed using the Exif interface:
ExifInterface myEI = new ExifInterface(photo.getPath());
byte[] thumbArray = myEI.getThumbnail();
File thumbFolder = new File(appFolder.getPath(), "thumbnails");
if (!thumbFolder.exists())
{
thumbFolder.mkdirs();
}
File thumbnail=new File(thumbFolder, picFile.getName());
if (thumbnail.exists()) {
thumbnail.delete();
}
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(thumbArray, 0, thumbArray.length);
FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(thumbnail.getPath(), MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 50, fos);
fos.close();
.
