Displaying image from gallery in Oncreate method without opening gallery intent

Question

I know how to open gallery intent and to display in the imageview.

But I am facing problem in selecting image automatically in oncreate method and display in the imageview.

I have an image in gallery folder with name "myfile.jpg"

Can anyone guide me how to do it without openting gallery intent.

Thank you in advance

Here is solution :

ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.myImage);

File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
String path = root.getAbsolutePath();
path = path + File.separator + "myfile.jpg"; //where you image file located

Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path);

image.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);

Don't use bitmaps. Since you had image path with you, use `image.setImageURI(uri);` instead of bitmap. – Eswar Jan 30 '17 at 06:48
`BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path);` causes memory issues. Instead use any Imageloader like `Glide`, `Picasso` etc. – Paresh P. Jan 30 '17 at 06:49
Eswar and Wizard , basically if i had imagepath then i use picasso. this is just an example. – Deepak Kumar Jan 30 '17 at 06:52
