DecodeByteArray with WebService image always null

Question

Hi guys,

There what I am trying to do :

I am calling a WebService that send me back an image. I get it from the entity.getContent() method.

Further in my code I try to use de BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(myImage, 0, myImage.lenght) but the Bitmap that it returns me is always null

Does someone have an idea ?

Answer 1

decodeByteArray returns null when the image cannot be decoded from that array, you are probably getting the image in a format that BitmapFactory doesnt understand.
