How to read a file into a Java Bitmap?

Question

I know how to read a bitmap file into a byte array. How is the byte array then converted to a Java Bitmap?

Answer 1

Skip the byte array if you want: Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filename);

Answer 2

Use BitmapFactory if you already have your byte array:

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(yourByteArray, offset, length);
