Hi.

I want to send an Image (.png or .jpg, I tried both) with an Socket Connection from a server to an Android phone.
I convert the Buffered Image to a byte array via:


The server has no problems with decoding it again. I suspected that the following would be enough to convert the Byte Array back to an image on the phone:


But unfortunately the BitmapFactory returns null, indicading that the byte array could not be decoded.

I'm clueless here, I suspect the decoding to be the problem here, but of course it could also be the socket connection.

That's why I wanted to ask, if someone can confirm that a byte array produced by ImageIO/ByteArrayOutputStream can be decoded with BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray or if someone knows a better way of doing this.

Thx in advance

I have the same problem
That's mean a byte[] representative of my image but the BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray answers null
Please some help if you know why

I figured out the problem but I don't know if that could help Deathball
In fact, I gave to my parsing function this next inputStream : entity.getContent
I had to consume completely it before parsing the stream and it works

Bye
