Reading image from private storage android

Question

I have stored some image in the device private storage like:

    InputStream inputStream = response.getEntity().getContent();
    FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = openFileOutput("someImage.jpeg", cont.MODE_PRIVATE);
    int read = 0;
    byte[] buffer = new byte[32768];
    while((read = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
        fileOutputStream.write(buffer, 0, read);
    }
    fileOutputStream.close();
    inputStream.close();

Then I want to read that image and store it as bitmap to show it to the user, I don't know what to do to accomplish this! I want to read the image again from the private storage, then convert it to bitmap. any experience?

Answer 1

What you need here is BitmapFactory.decodeStream(String name).

First, get an inputstream:

InputStream input = openFileInput("someImage.jpeg");

Next, use that to get a bitmap:

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);

Don't forget to close your inputstream afterwards!
