Handling Image Compression and Orientation Issues in Android 14 Using Glide
I'm working through a tutorial and Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple... I'm currently facing an issue while trying to upload user profile images in my Android app targeting Android 14. When using Glide to load and compress images, I noticed that the images appear rotated incorrectly after being processed. I'm using the following code snippet to handle the image selection and loading: ```kotlin private fun loadImage(uri: Uri) { Glide.with(this) .load(uri) .apply(RequestOptions() .override(500, 500) .centerCrop() .encodeQuality(80)) .into(imageView) } ``` Initially, I tried using `ExifInterface` to adjust the orientation based on the image's EXIF data before uploading, but the resulting images still seem to display rotated after compression. Here's the code for handling the EXIF data: ```kotlin private fun getCorrectOrientation(uri: Uri): Int { val inputStream = contentResolver.openInputStream(uri) val exif = ExifInterface(inputStream) return exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL) } ``` After extracting the orientation, I tried rotating the bitmap accordingly, but it didn't help. I also checked that the `RequestOptions` I used does not inherently change the orientation, yet the images look distorted post upload. When inspecting the uploaded images server side, the properties appear correct, but they render incorrectly in the app. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to ensure the images maintain their correct orientation and resolution after being processed with Glide. Has anyone faced similar issues, or is there a more effective method to properly handle this in Android 14? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking?
