Android: Bug with ThreadSafeClientConnManager downloading images

Question

For my current application I collect images from different \"event providers\" in Spain.

  Bitmap bmp=null;
  HttpGet httpRequest = new HttpGet(strURL);

Answer 1

My solution is not to use BitmapFactory.decodeStream() cause the way I look at it, it uses the SKIA decoder and it seems kind of erratic sometimes. You can try something like this.

    Bitmap bitmap = null;
    InputStream in = null;
    BufferedOutputStream out = null;
    try {
            in = new BufferedInputStream(new URL(url).openStream(),
                     IO_BUFFER_SIZE);

            final ByteArrayOutputStream dataStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            out = new BufferedOutputStream(dataStream, IO_BUFFER_SIZE);
            copy(in, out);
            out.flush();

            final byte[] data = dataStream.toByteArray();
            bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);


   } catch (......){

   }        

and for the copy() function

private static void copy(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
    byte[] b = new byte[IO_BUFFER_SIZE];
    int read;
    while ((read = in.read(b)) != -1) {
        out.write(b, 0, read);
    }
}

and IO_BUFFER_SIZE is a constant integer with the value of 4 * 1024.
