Android Question BitmapAsync - what about rotated pictures

[Alexander Stolte]

Hello,

i have a problem, i see images from my native camera app are rotatet, how can i load the images with BitmapAsync with the right orientation?

It is not related to BitmapAsync.

It is related to the bitmaps storing the orientation setting in the EXIF attributes.
See this example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-b4xpages-intent-based-camera.120721/#content

The Problem is i need to load the image from the location to ini. the exif. Or is not the image loaded, but only the exif data, if i ini. the exif?

It doesn't load the image. It only reads the metadata.

Best option if worried about performance is to rotate the ImageView instead of the bitmap.

I'll check it. Thanks.

without knowing if the image is distorted?

Rotate the ImageView instead of rotating the bitmap. While I haven't tested it myself, I expect it to be faster. This is only relevant if you are loading many images.
