Android: Bitmaps Loaded from Gallery Are Rotated in Imageview

Android getting an image from gallery comes rotated

You could use ExifInterface to modify the orientation:

public static Bitmap modifyOrientation(Bitmap bitmap, String image_absolute_path) throws IOException {
    ExifInterface ei = new ExifInterface(image_absolute_path);
    int orientation = ei.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);

    switch (orientation) {
    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
        return rotate(bitmap, 90);

    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
        return rotate(bitmap, 180);

    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
        return rotate(bitmap, 270);

    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_FLIP_HORIZONTAL:
        return flip(bitmap, true, false);

    case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_FLIP_VERTICAL:
        return flip(bitmap, false, true);

    default:
        return bitmap;
    }
}

public static Bitmap rotate(Bitmap bitmap, float degrees) {
    Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
    matrix.postRotate(degrees);
    return Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}

public static Bitmap flip(Bitmap bitmap, boolean horizontal, boolean vertical) {
    Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
    matrix.preScale(horizontal ? -1 : 1, vertical ? -1 : 1);
    return Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}

In order to get absolute path of your images from their uri, check this answer

Have you looked at the EXIF data of the images? It may know the orientation of the camera when the picture was taken.
