Renaming selected image from gallery










0















I'm trying to make an app where user selects an Image from gallery and can rename it to desired name,
The code to get the Image from gallery is



Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, RESULT_LOAD_IMG);

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
try
upload.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
Image.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
final Uri imageUri = data.getData();
final InputStream imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(imageUri);
final Bitmap selectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);

Image.setImageBitmap(selectedImage);
Log.i("FileName is", fileName);
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Error Loading Image",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

else
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Please select an image",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();




I've seen some posts which use from and to to rename Images but I'm not able to understand how it works and how to set a desired name(which will be entered by user via an editText).



Any help would be appreciated

Here is the code which may help you



 File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File from = new File(sdcard, "from.txt");
File to = new File(sdcard, "to.txt");
if (updateFileName(context, from, to))
Log.d("File Rename", "Successfully renamed");
else Log.d("File Rename", "Rename filed");

public static boolean updateFileName(Context mContext, File from, File to)
if (from.renameTo(to))
removeMedia(mContext, from);
updateMediaInGallery(mContext, to);
return true;
else
return false;



public static void updateMediaInGallery(Context c, File f)
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);
intent.setData(Uri.fromFile(f));
c.sendBroadcast(intent);


private static void removeMedia(Context c, File f)
ContentResolver resolver = c.getContentResolver();
resolver.delete(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA + "=?", new Stringf.getAbsolutePath());

    Here you can find your relevant solution of @Davewebb and you are confused in from to



    File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    File from = new File(sdcard,"from.txt");
    File to = new File(sdcard,"to.txt");
    from.renameTo(to);


    from.txt is your old name and new name will be here is to.txt



    for internal Storage, you can read a file like this and will do the same above process



    private String readFileFromInternalStorage()
    ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
    ContextWrapper cw = new ContextWrapper(context);

    //path to /data/data/yourapp/app_data/dirName
    File directory = cw.getDir("dirName", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    File mypath=new File(directory,"imagename.jpg");

    ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
    imageView.setImageDrawable(Drawable.createFromPath(mypath.toString()));

    • no, I think you don't need to set getExternalStorageDirectory.

    • Then instead of 'sdcard' what we have to pass in? 'imageUri'?
