That's what i'm doing with my app as well. And i have the same issue. As soon as your re-read a JPEG and save it again (modified or not), you will get loss of quality. There is no other way around it.
In my app, i don't save over the original image. I do a 'save-as', more or less. At least the original image is preserved. In other words; i find the same problems that you find. As soon as i find out a way to solve these, i'll let you know :-) Updating gallery and thumbnails: Take a look at the MediaScannerConnection. (note that i have had mixed results with this class. rebooting or re- mounting your sd-card usually does the trick better) On Aug 25, 11:50 am, karthikr <[email protected]> wrote: > My application reads existing images from the mobile, and allows the > user to edit it and save it, if the image is in a jpeg format there is > a loss in quality when the image is edited and saved.
