How to crop image with known path based on user selection

in my app I capture a photo using intent MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE and I save image into external storage that is private to my app. I also save the path to taken picture. In next step I would like to crop 3 pictures from this photo but I cannot figure out how to do it. I found this article Crop an Image by passing the image file path in Android but the answer uses com.android.camera.action.CROP, which is often not supported. I would like to crop it like this

Bitmap bmp=BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.xyz);
resizedbitmap1=Bitmap.createBitmap(bmp, 0,0,yourwidth, yourheight);

but I need to crop picture according to user selection. Can anyone help me with this? I am pretty stuck here.

Solution

  • So I ended up using some third party library for cropping pictures. I recommend you to do the same. You will find plenty of them on github, choose according to your preferences.
