Get Bitmap from universal image loader library

Question

I am trying to get bitmap from a given URL for this I am using UIL Library. For some reason I am not able to fetch the Bitmap. Here is what I am trying out.

Initialized the variables:

  private ImageLoader imageLoader;
  private ImageLoaderConfiguration config;

And then have the config initialized with imageloader:

    config = new ImageLoaderConfiguration.Builder(this)
    .threadPriority(Thread.NORM_PRIORITY - 2)
    .denyCacheImageMultipleSizesInMemory()
    .diskCacheFileNameGenerator(new Md5FileNameGenerator())
    .diskCacheSize(50 * 1024 * 1024) // 50 Mb
    .tasksProcessingOrder(QueueProcessingType.LIFO)
    .writeDebugLogs() // Remove for release app
    .build();

    ImageLoader.getInstance().init(config);

And then trying to get the image URL provided:

   Bitmap bmp = imageLoader.loadImageSync(ImageUrl); 

storing the bmp data into an array for further usage.

I am getting the following error:

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.graphics.Bitmap com.nostra13.universalimageloader.core.ImageLoader.loadImageSync(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

I am not sure what could be wrong here? Can somebody help me fix this up?

Answer 1

Your imageLoader is null because you didn't set it:

Try this:

imageLoader =  ImageLoader.getInstance();
imageLoader.init(config);
