Image Compression like WhatsApp in android

How to compress the image without loosing the quality.
You can compress the image just like whatsapp like quality.

File externalFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), 
                                                       "ProfilePic/helloimg.jpg");
Uri externaluri = Uri.parse(externalFile.getPath());
compressImage(externaluri.toString(), "helloimg");

// Method to compress Image Compress image
public String compressImage(String imageUri, String imagenameName) {

    String filePath = getRealPathFromURI(imageUri);
    String fileName = imagenameName;
    Bitmap scaledBitmap = null;
    BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    //by setting this field as true, the actual bitmap pixels are not loaded in the memory. 
      Just the bounds are loaded. If
    //you try the use the bitmap here, you will get null.
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath, options);
    int actualHeight = options.outHeight;
    int actualWidth = options.outWidth;
    //max Height and width values of the compressed image is taken as 816x612
    float maxHeight = 816.0f;    
    float maxWidth = 612.0f;    
    float imgRatio = actualWidth / actualHeight;    
    float maxRatio = maxWidth / maxHeight;
    //width and height values are set maintaining the aspect ratio of the image
    if (actualHeight > maxHeight || actualWidth > maxWidth) {
        if (imgRatio < maxRatio) {
            imgRatio = maxHeight / actualHeight;            
            actualWidth = (int) (imgRatio * actualWidth);            
            actualHeight = (int) maxHeight;

  1. Sorry I'd like to ask with your tutorial on github about compression image.
    What method do you use in that compression and what algorithm do you use?
    I am interested to learn it.
    Thank you ;)

  2. Hello,
    I have created my own online image compressor.
    can you please give me suggestions to improve it.

Vertical AutoScrolling TextView in Android

In android by default we can scroll the text in horizontal using marquee in layout, but if we want to scroll the text in vertical its not possible by default. So here we will learn to create a custom TextView which will auto-scroll in vertical direction. Source Code:  VerticalScrollingTextView-Android Create a AutoScrollingTextView.class which extends TextView: @SuppressLint ( "AppCompatCustomView" ) public class AutoScrollingTextView extends TextView { private static final float DEFAULT_SPEED = 65.0f ; public Scroller scroller ; public float speed = DEFAULT_SPEED ; public boolean continuousScrolling = true; public AutoScrollingTextView (Context context) { super (context) ; init( null, 0 ) ; scrollerInstance(context) ; } public AutoScrollingTextView (Context context , AttributeSet attrs) { super (context , attrs) ; init(attrs , 0 ) ; scr...

Flexbox inside the RecyclerView as a LayoutManager (FlexboxLayoutManager).

Currently google has release the Flexbox which can be used for building flexible layouts using FlexboxLayout, it can be interpreted as an advanced LinearLayout because both layouts align their child views sequentially. For more detail on this flexbox-layout But here we are gonna work on Flexbox with RecyclerView. Flexbox with a large number of items in a scrollable container! Let's first see what are the Supported attributes / features comparison Due to some characteristics of the RecyclerView, some Flexbox attributes are not available/not implemented to the FlexboxLayoutManager. Here is a quick overview of the attributes/features comparison between the two containers. Attribute / Feature FlexboxLayout                FlexboxLayoutManager (RecyclerView) flexDirection flexWrap (except wrap_reverse ) justifyContent alignItems alignContent - layout_order - layout_fle...

Android Customized-FloatSeekBar

A SeekBar is an extension of ProgressBar that adds a draggable thumb. The user can touch the thumb and drag left or right to set the current progress level or use the arrow keys. Placing focusable widgets to the left or right of a SeekBar is discouraged. SeekBar support only int values for progress: void setMax(int max) Set the upper range of the progress bar max. void setMin(int min) Set the lower range of the progress bar to min. void setProgress(int progress) Sets the current progress to the specified value. int getMax() Return the upper limit of this progress bar's range. int getMin() Return the lower limit of this progress bar's range. int getProgress() Get the progress bar's current level of progress. In some scenario we would need floating point seekbar progress, which is not supported by default in android. Here the floating seekbar which supports floating point value: You can download the full sample and library from https://github.com/yuvaraj119/Cus...
