Android: Display Image from SD CARD

Question

This is driving me insane! Here\'s my code (I know this file exists):

File imageFile = new File(\"/sdcard/gallery_photo_4.jpg\");
ImageView jpgView = (Image         


        

Answer 1

I would rather use a BitmapFactory to decode the Image from the file-path:

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFile.getAbsolutePath());
jpgView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

The Docs say:

If the specified file name is null, or cannot be decoded into a bitmap, the function returns null.

Can you check if the code works with another image and if you can open your image on your PC thought. Maybe the file is corrupt.
