Hi All,
My problem is: i'm trying to convert byte[] into image. The byte[] comes from JSON and it's in this format:
"4oCwUE5HDQoaCgAAAA1JSERSAAAAfwAAAFAIBgAAADBHwqrDsAAAAAlwSFlzAAAAJwAAACcBKgnigJhPAAAgAElEQVR4xZPCrMK9ecWSZcOZfcOfw7c5w5vCvW/CqXp..."
it goes for another 100 lines.
The code where the problem occurs:
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(PlayersListActivity.URL);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(parameters, "UTF-8"));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
BufferedHttpEntity bufferedEntity = new BufferedHttpEntity(httpEntity);
// if this is null the web service returned an empty page
if(httpEntity == null) // response is empty so exit out
return null;
String jsonString = EntityUtils.toString(bufferedEntity);
// again some simple validation around the returned string
if(jsonString != null && jsonString.length() != 0) // checking string returned from service to grab id
{
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonString);
for(int i=0; i< jsonArray.length(); i++)
{
HashMap<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) jsonArray.get(i);
int id = jsonObject.getInt("id");
String name = jsonObject.getString("name");
byte[] images = jsonObject.getString("image").getBytes();
String base64 = jsonObject.getString("image");
byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(base64, Base64.DEFAULT);
Bitmap decodedByte = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedString, 0, decodedString.length);
ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
image.setImageBitmap(decodedByte);
map.put("name", name.toString());
map.put("image", images.toString());
Log.d("JSON OBJECTS:", jsonObject.toString());
Log.d("WHATS IN MAP:", map.toString());
playersList.add(map);
And ofcourse error that I'm getting in LogCat:
SkImageDecoder:: Factory returned null.
java.lang.NullPointerException
and it points out on this line:
Bitmap decodedByte = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedString, 0, decodedString.length);
I have done reseach but nothing really points on what I'm missing. Any ideas??
Thanks!!
