EXIF Data for Resized Images about wordpress-android HOT 3 CLOSED

It's not trivial. Android library includes ExifInterface that only works on JPEG files. createThumbail method takes a byte[] and return a byte[]

Workaround:

• In createThumbail we could try to write input byte[] a tmp file, copy exif data into that file, read the tmp file and return byte[] (actually, i'm not sure this will work, EXIF attributes could be ignored by BitmapFactory)
• Have a look at Sanselan Android library to read/write EXIF informations- https://code.google.com/p/sanselanandroid/

I would like to point out, as per the original forum post, that is for all resized images, not just thumbnails.

Some googling turned up a good post, including the suggestion above -- using the Sanselan library. It also says:

Here is a blog post that shows how to use Sanselan for copying image data: http://bricolsoftconsulting.com/copying-exif-metadata-using-sanselan/

Option B, and one that doesn't help with downsizing images before upload to save on bandwidth, is to at least allow for (eventual) server-side downsizing of images, whereby the EXIF data is kept (I just tested this).

Closing issue and migrating to new repo.
