Android - Convert String To Byte[]

I want to convert the string of 'icon' to byte array and than to convert it to Bitmap. The problem is the image in the emulator is not displaying. I suppose I'm not doing right but

Solution 1:

From the string icon it seems you have converted your image to string by using Base64. So you have to convert it back to bytes using Base64 itself

// Receiving sidebyte[] data = Base64.decode(iconString, Base64.DEFAULT);

Hope this helps...

Solution 2:

To decode your base64string to byte[]:

byte[] imgBytes = Base64.decode(strBase64.getBytes());

To convert your byte[] to Bitmap:

Bitmapbitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imgBytes, 0, imgBytes.length)

Now use your bitmap with your images's setImageBitmap method to show the output. For example:

icon.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

Solution 3:

Your icon is Base64 encoded, use Base64 class to decode it.
