![]() For now, it can only read the Exif of JPEG files or a RAW image file. This has been added with 100+ attributes to read the Exif tags of the images including information about the camera itself, the camera settings, orientation, and GPS coordinates. ![]() Even though this has been existing since 7.1, It made sense from android 9+ with all the capabilities provided to the interface. ExifInterface has been introduced in the android support library since 25.1.0. Let’s see how can we extract Exif data from images in Android. We understood what is Exif and what it contains. Now you may get a fair idea of EXIF files. By looking at this we can get the complete details of the image. If you look at the above image, We have attributes like Image length and width, date and time of the image taken, From which device this image was taken, Orientation code, and some of the images attribute like light, white balance, focal length, if the flash was on or not, GPS information of the image i.e lat long of the image where it was taken. ![]() It is capable of storing such important data as camera exposure, date/time the image was captured, and even GPS location. This is a standard that defines specific information related to an image or other media captured by a camera. The solution for these is Exif files and ExifInterface. Even though when we read, the changes to the images like removing GPS tags or changing the orientation would be challenging tasks. Previously we were struggling to get image info, for which we had to separately extract metadata from different methods and read it to understand the Image properties. There might be needs to know the image details like GPS location, date/time, settings at the time of capture, orientation, etc. But we cannot read the details of the images always directly from the image. For some of the Image Related Applications, all the details of the images are required.
