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

This code worked for me finally:

    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    ImageView jpgView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("/sdcard/sample-1.jpg");
    jpgView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

Crash was happening because setContentView() was not performed before attaching the jpgview:

code that was crashing:

    ImageView jpgView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("/sdcard/sample-1.jpg");
    jpgView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
