How do I save an image that I receive in a url in the internal storage of android so that it can be seen in the smartphone gallery?
Example, my app receives an image type " link " and when a button is pressed, it is saved in the memory.
Thanks for the help
you could try these 2 methods, first convert the url into a Bitmap and then that Bitmap you keep it in local, I hope it serves you
fun getBitmapFromURL(src: String): Bitmap? {
try {
val url = URL(src)
val connection = url.openConnection() as HttpURLConnection
connection.setDoInput(true)
connection.connect()
val input = connection.getInputStream()
return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input)
} catch (e: IOException) {
// Log exception
return null
}
}
private fun saveToInternalStorage(name : String, bitmapImage: Bitmap, context: Context): String {
val cw = ContextWrapper(context.applicationContext)
// path to /data/data/yourapp/app_data/imageDir
val directory = cw.getDir("imageDir", Context.MODE_PRIVATE)
// Create imageDir
Log.d("PATH", directory.path)
val mypath = File(directory, name+".jpg")
var fos: FileOutputStream? = null
try {
fos = FileOutputStream(mypath)
// Use the compress method on the BitMap object to write image to the OutputStream
bitmapImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos)
} catch (e: Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
} finally {
try {
fos!!.close()
} catch (e: IOException) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
}
return directory.absolutePath
}
