Android: Bitmaps loaded from gallery are rotated in ImageView

by

So, as an example…

First you need to create an ExifInterface:

ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(filename);

You can then grab the orientation of the image:

orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1);

Here’s what the orientation values mean:

So, the most important values are 3, 6 and 8.
If the orientation is ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90 (which is 6), for example, you can rotate the image like this:

Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
rotatedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(sourceBitmap, 0, 0, sourceBitmap.getWidth(), sourceBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);

That’s just a quick example, though. I’m sure there are other ways of performing the actual rotation. But you will find those on StackOverflow as well.
