When I load an image frome the media gallery into a Bitmap, everything works fine, except that pictures that were shot with the camera while holding the phone vertically, are rotated so that I always get a horizontal picture even though it appears vertical in the gallery. Why is that and how can I load it correctly?

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

You're right, that was of course the solution. I'm gonna post my code as an example in a separate answer, later, but I mark this one as accepted because it got me on the right track.
