Qt Java - Get image from gallery

guidupas

I am trying to get an image from Android gallery using Qt. I have already called the intent from Java using a Java file, but I don't know how to return it to Qt.

I have a Qt class that calls a method from a Java file that opens the Android Image Picker. How can I return the selected image or the selected URI to Qt?

the .h file

#ifndef CAMINHOIMAGENS_H
#define CAMINHOIMAGENS_H

#include <QObject>

#include <QDebug>

class caminhoImagens : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

    Q_PROPERTY(QString imagemCaminho READ imagemCaminho NOTIFY imagemCaminhoChanged)

slots:
    void atualizaImagem();

public:
    QString imagemCaminho();

private:
    QString m_imagemCaminho = "";

signals:
    void imagemCaminhoChanged();
};

#endif // CAMINHOIMAGENS_H

The .cpp file

#include "caminhoimagens.h"

#include <QtAndroidExtras>

caminhoImagens::caminhoImagens()
{
    
}

void caminhoImagens::atualizaImagem()
{
    //org.qtproject.example.acessargaleriatest
    QAndroidJniObject intent = QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod (
"org/qtproject/example/AcessarGaleriaTest/ImagePickerAndroid",
 "imagePicker",
 "()Landroid/content/Intent;");

    QtAndroid::startActivity(intent, 192837465, 0);
}

QString caminhoImagens::imagemCaminho()
{
    return m_imagemCaminho;
}

The .java file

package org.qtproject.example.AcessarGaleriaTest;

import org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.app.Activity;

public class ImagePickerAndroid extends QtActivity
{
    public static Intent imagePicker()
    {
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
        i.setType( "image/*");
        return Intent.createChooser(i, "Select Image");
    }
}

Hello,

In your ImagePickerAndroid you should override the onActivityResult function. With this you get the path name.

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    if (requestCode == "YourCode") {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            String path;

            Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(data.getData(), null, null, null, null);
            if (cursor == null) { // Source is Dropbox or other similar local file path
                path = data.getData().getPath();
            } else {
                cursor.moveToFirst();
                int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA);
                path = cursor.getString(idx);
                cursor.close();
            }

            MyNative. notifyExtra(path);
        }
    }
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

Then to send this path to Qt side, you need to create a native function like this :
MyNative.java

public class MyNative {
    public static native void notifyExtra(String path);
}

Then in Qt side :
mynative.h

#include <QtAndroidExtras/QAndroidJniObject>
#include <QtAndroidExtras/QAndroidJniEnvironment>
#include <QtAndroid>

static void notifyExtra(JNIEnv *env, jobject thiz, jstring path) {
    Q_UNUSED(env)
    Q_UNUSED(thiz)
    // emit a signal to your listener
}

// call this function in your main.cpp
void registerNativeMethods() {
    JNINativeMethod methods[] {
        {"notifyExtra", "(Ljava/lang/String;)V", reinterpret_cast<void *>(notifyExtra)}
    };

    QAndroidJniObject javaClass("path/to/your/MyNative");
    QAndroidJniEnvironment env;
    jclass objectClass = env->GetObjectClass(javaClass.object<jobject>());
    env->RegisterNatives(objectClass, methods, sizeof(methods) / sizeof(methods[0]));
    env->DeleteLocalRef(objectClass);
}

An alternative way is to use existing library. e.g ImagePicker from QuickAndroid project.

quickandroid/ImagePicker.java at master · benlau/quickandroid

Thanks for the help @Vi67

I have done my code in Qt using QAndroidJniObject to write a equivalent java code.

Register the caminhoimages.h as a QML type in the main.cpp and call the method buscaImagem()

caminhoimagens.h

#ifndef CAMINHOIMAGENS_H
#define CAMINHOIMAGENS_H

#include <QObject>

#include "imagepickerandroid.h"

#include <QDebug>

class caminhoImagens : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

    Q_PROPERTY(QString imagemCaminho READ imagemCaminho NOTIFY imagemCaminhoChanged)

public slots:
    void buscaImagem();
    void retornaImagem(QString path);

public:
    caminhoImagens();

    QString imagemCaminho();

private:
    QString m_imagemCaminho = "";

signals:
    void imagemCaminhoChanged();
};

#endif //CAMINHOIMAGENS_H

caminhoimagens.cpp

#include "caminhoimagens.h"

caminhoImagens::caminhoImagens()
{

}

void caminhoImagens::buscaImagem()
{
    imagePickerAndroid *imagePicker = new imagePickerAndroid();
    connect(imagePicker, SIGNAL(imagemCaminhoSignal(QString)), this, SLOT(retornaImagem(QString)));

    imagePicker->buscaImagem();
}

void caminhoImagens::retornaImagem(QString path)
{
    qDebug() << path;

    m_imagemCaminho = path;

    emit imagemCaminhoChanged();
}

QString caminhoImagens::imagemCaminho()
{
    return m_imagemCaminho;
}

imagepickerandroid.h

#ifndef IMAGEPICKERANDROID_H
#define IMAGEPICKERANDROID_H


#include <QObject>
#include <QtAndroidExtras>

#include <QDebug>

class imagePickerAndroid : public QObject, public QAndroidActivityResultReceiver
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    imagePickerAndroid();

    void buscaImagem();

    virtual void handleActivityResult(int receiverRequestCode, int resultCode, const QAndroidJniObject & data);

signals:
    void imagemCaminhoSignal(QString);
};

#endif // IMAGEPICKERANDROID_H

imagepickerandroid.cpp

#include "imagepickerandroid.h"

imagePickerAndroid::imagePickerAndroid()
{

}

void imagePickerAndroid::buscaImagem()
{
    QAndroidJniObject ACTION_PICK = QAndroidJniObject::fromString("android.intent.action.GET_CONTENT");
    QAndroidJniObject intent("android/content/Intent");
    if (ACTION_PICK.isValid() && intent.isValid())
    {
        intent.callObjectMethod("setAction", "(Ljava/lang/String;)Landroid/content/Intent;", ACTION_PICK.object<jstring>());
        intent.callObjectMethod("setType", "(Ljava/lang/String;)Landroid/content/Intent;", QAndroidJniObject::fromString("image/*").object<jstring>());
        QtAndroid::startActivity(intent.object<jobject>(), 101, this);
        qDebug() << "OK";
    }
    else
    {
        qDebug() << "ERRO";
    }
}

void imagePickerAndroid::handleActivityResult(int receiverRequestCode, int resultCode, const QAndroidJniObject &data)
{
    qDebug() << "Trabalha com os dados";

    jint RESULT_OK = QAndroidJniObject::getStaticField<jint>("android/app/Activity", "RESULT_OK");
    if (receiverRequestCode == 101 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        QString imagemCaminho = data.callObjectMethod("getData", "()Landroid/net/Uri;").callObjectMethod("getPath", "()Ljava/lang/String;").toString();
        emit imagemCaminhoSignal(imagemCaminho);

        qDebug() << imagemCaminho;
    }
    else
    {
        qDebug() << "Caminho errado";
    }
}
