How to convert an image to bitmap-CodePudding

I want to select a picture/image from gallery and then perform some operation on the pixels of the selected image. The image would be displayed on an image view. I learned that in order to operate on the pixels of an image, the image should be converted to bitmap. I can select an image, but my I keep getting an exception at runtime when the image is about to be converted to bitmap. Here's my code:

resultLauncher = registerForActivityResult(new ActivityResultContracts.GetContent(), new ActivityResultCallback<Uri>() {
            @Override
            public void onActivityResult(Uri result) {
                imageView.setImageURI(result);
                String path = result.getPath();
                bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path);
                int pixel = bitmap.getPixel(0, 2);
                String cPixel = String.valueOf(pixel);
                textView.setText(cPixel); // just to check if it works

And my exception stack trace:

CodePudding user response：

Try:

InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(result);
        
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);

CodePudding user response：

I edited your code, so your final code should look like this:

resultLauncher = registerForActivityResult(new ActivityResultContracts.GetContent(), new ActivityResultCallback<Uri>() {
          @Override
            public void onActivityResult(Uri result) {
               imageView.setImageURI(result);
                String path = result.getPath();
              bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path);
             if (bitmap != null) {
                    int pixel = bitmap.getPixel(0, 2);
                   String cPixel = String.valueOf(pixel);
                   textView.setText(cPixel); // just to check if it works
                }

Please try it and comment if it worked or not, and accept this answer if it worked so more people can find it.
