How Do I Decode A Jpeg Image Encoded In Base64 In Android And See It On An ImageView?

My server sends a encoded Base64 string to my android device. After that, I decode the Base64 string in this method to make a drawable of it. I can't see the image when I add it in

Solution 1:

Convert your binary file to Base64 then use the following code to retrieve it:

public static void base64ToFile(String path, String strBase64)
            throws IOException {
        byte[] bytes = Base64.decode(strBase64);
        byteArrayTofile(path, bytes);
    }

public static void byteArrayTofile(String path, byte[] bytes)
        throws IOException {
    File imagefile = new File(path);
    File dir = new File(imagefile.getParent());
    if (!dir.exists()) {
        dir.mkdirs();
    }
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(imagefile);
    fos.write(bytes);
    fos.close();
}

converting binary file to Base64:

public static String fileToBase64(String path) throws IOException {
    byte[] bytes = fileToByteArray(path);
    return Base64.encodeBytes(bytes);
}

public static byte[] fileToByteArray(String path) throws IOException {
    File imagefile = new File(path);
    byte[] data = new byte[(int) imagefile.length()];
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(imagefile);
    fis.read(data);
    fis.close();
    return data;
}
