Android Question Funny behaivor with fotos from contenchooser

[TrisectDevelopment]

In my App I can choose an image from the content chooser and put the image in my ImagevIew.

When the foto app is open all images is correct rotated. The images I took myself and the ones who came with the phone.

If I choose one of the images who came with the phone it is shown correct in my ImageView.
But if I choose the one I took my self it is rotated in my ImageView, like 90 degres.

Is there any way to fix this?
Is there a way to check if it is a image I took myself?

I think there is some metadata in the photo, i am not sure where it is stored, but it does show up as rotated correctly in the gallery.
In the media store this is probably stored as Orientation: http://developer.android.com/refere...diaStore.Images.ImageColumns.html#ORIENTATION
I know the mediabrowser library can (or atleast can be modified) to fetch it.

I'm not sure I follow you. Can you be more specific?

 

[thedesolatesoul]

Once you receive a URI from the ContentChooser, you can use the ContentResolver library to read the 'orientation' field of the image. For e.g. if it is set to 90 you will have to rotate it yourself.

Okay, thanks I'll try that.

I found another solution.

I copy the image from the ContentChooser_Result FileName to a temp image.
The I use the exif.getAttribute(exif.TAG_ORIENTATION) to check if the temp image is rotated.
If it is rotated then I put the ContentChooser_Result FileName into my ImageView, but rotating it first with RSImageProcessing.

Dim rbmp AsRSImageProcessing
Dim finalBitmap AsBitmap
Try
If Success Then
  File.Copy(Dir ,FileName, File.DirRootExternal ,"tempFile.jpg")
  '** Initialize exif
  exif.Initialize(File.DirRootExternal ,"tempFile.jpg")
  Dim temp AsString
  temp = exif.getAttribute(exif.TAG_ORIENTATION)
  '** Image is rotated
  If temp = "6"Then
    rbmp.Initialize
    finalBitmap = LoadBitmap(Dir, FileName)
    finalBitmap = rbmp.rotateBitmap(finalBitmap, 90)
    ivBillede.Bitmap = finalBitmap
  Else
    finalBitmap = LoadBitmap(Dir, FileName)
    ivBillede.Bitmap = finalBitmap
  EndIf
  '** Slet temp billede fil
  File.Delete(File.DirRootExternal ,"tempFile.jpg")
EndIf
Catch
  Dim errorMessage AsString
  errorMessage = LastException.Message
  Msgbox(errorMessage, "ERROR!")
EndTry
