Save image in the gallery

I got a question how to save a bitmap from my App into the android gallery within a Button? I just want that my bitmap is placed in the gallery that the user can use it to set it as maybe his background. So how is it going?

You can save image in gallery like this.

MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), yourBitmap, yourTitle , yourDescription);

Try like this

The images are displayed in the gallery which are stored on the media store provider

public static void addImageToGallery(final String filePath, final Context context) {

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();

values.put(Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN, System.currentTimeMillis());
values.put(Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, filePath);

context.getContentResolver().insert(Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);

}

You modify the following function to suite your needs

 private void takeSnapShot(Bitmap bitmap) {
    OutputStream outStream = null;
    String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
    String appName = mContext.getString(R.string.app_name);

    if (state.equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) {
        String sdroot = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
        String path = sdroot + "/" + appName;
        File dir = new File(path);
        if (!dir.exists() && !dir.mkdirs()) {
            return;
        }

        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss", Locale.US);
        String dstr = sdf.format(new Date());
        String filename = path + "/" + dstr + ".jpg";

        try {
            outStream = new FileOutputStream(filename);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            LogUtils.println("Exception while writing image");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outStream);

        try {
            if (outStream != null)
                outStream.close();
            mMediaScanner.scanMediaByName(filename, R.string.snapshot_save);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


    } else {
        //  Add some parameters to the image that will be stored in the Image ContentProvider
        int UNIQUE_BUCKET_ID = 111;
        String disp = "anything";

        ContentValues values = new ContentValues(7);
        values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, disp);
        values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, disp);
        values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, appName + disp);
        values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME, appName + " snapshot");
        values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.BUCKET_ID, UNIQUE_BUCKET_ID);
        values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN, System.currentTimeMillis());
        values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
        // Inserting the image meta data inside the content provider
        Uri uri = mContext.getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);

        try {
            if (uri != null) {
                outStream = mContext.getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri);
                if (outStream != null) {
                    outStream.close();
                }
            }
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            LogUtils.println("Exception while writing image");
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
