Why does BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray return null?

Question

It\'s the simple code and instead of getting result to set the Bitmap, I get null. Can anyone tell me where I am making a mistake?

String test = \"test\";

In such case you need to convert the string to Base64 first.

String strImage = geTImageAsHexString();
byte[] x = Base64.decode(strImage, Base64.DEFAULT);  //convert from base64 to byte array
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(x,0,x.length);
