I would like to know if it is possible to use BitmapFactory.decodeFile method to decode a image from http location?
For eg.
ImageView imageview = new ImageView(context);
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("http://<my IP>/test/abc.jpg");
imageview.setImageBitmap(bmp);
But bmp is always returning null.
Is there any other way to achieve this scenario, where i have a set of images in my server PC, and i am loading the images to my gallery application via an xml?
Thanks,
Sen
Use decodeStream and pass the URL's inputstream instead.
Here is an example:
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new java.net.URL(url).openStream())
@Amir & @Sankar : Thanks for your valuable suggestions.
I solved the above problem by doing the following code snippet :
ImageView iv = new ImageView(context);
try{
String url1 = "http://<my IP>/test/abc.jpg";
URL ulrn = new URL(url1);
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)ulrn.openConnection();
InputStream is = con.getInputStream();
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
if (null != bmp)
iv.setImageBitmap(bmp);
else
System.out.println("The Bitmap is NULL");
} catch(Exception e) {
}

String urldisplay="http://www.google.com/";//sample url
Log.d("url_dispaly",urldisplay);
try{
InputStream in = new java.net.URL(urldisplay).openStream();
Bitmap mIcon11 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new SanInputStream(in));
}
catch(Exception e){}
Create class name SanInputStream
public class SanInputStream extends FilterInputStream {
public SanInputStream(InputStream in) {
super(in);
}
public long skip(long n) throws IOException {
long m = 0L;
while (m < n) {
long _m = in.skip(n-m);
if (_m == 0L) break;
m += _m;
}
return m;
}
}
If I'm not mistaken, @Sen code snippet should return null in case of .BMP file and logcat should log:
skia decoder->decode returned false
If something like this is happening, try using this code (works also in case of bitmap input):
HttpGet httpRequest = null;
try {
httpRequest = new HttpGet(url.toURI());
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response = (HttpResponse) httpclient.execute(httpRequest);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
BufferedHttpEntity bufHttpEntity = new BufferedHttpEntity(entity);
InputStream instream = bufHttpEntity.getContent();
bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(instream);
