Cursor For An Image Always Returns Null

I'm storing a picture from my Camera like this: String newName = new BigInteger(130, new SecureRandom()) .toString(24); File mydir = new File(Environment.getExt

Solution 1:

Instead of using a cursor, since you only need to find the orienataion of one image you could do this :

ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(selectedImage);
exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, -1);
if(orientation == 3 || orientation == 6 || orientation == 8 ){ 
   Matrix matrix = new Matrix(); 
   if (orientation == 6)
      matrix.postRotate(90); 
   else if (orientation == 3)
      matrix.postRotate(180);  
   else if (orientation == 8)
      matrix.postRotate(270);
   result = Bitmap.createBitmap(result, 0, 0, result.getWidth(), result.getHeight(), matrix, true); // rotating bitmap 
}
