Camera base64 image cannot be converted to Bitmap

I have been having trouble converting the base64 String Image that is being sent to me by the backend.
So this is how the backend sends the data.
final ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
ImageIO.write(img, formatName, Base64.getEncoder().wrap(os));
return os.toString(StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1.name());
} catch (final IOException ioe) {
throw new UncheckedIOException(ioe);
}
And this is how we convert it.
final byte[] data = Base64.decode(base64, Base64.DEFAULT);
return BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
The result is always null. Any help is highly appreciated.
EDIT:
These are the back end codes.
#Override
public BufferedImage base64ToImage(String base64Image) throws IOException {
byte[] imageBytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(base64Image);
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(imageBytes));
return img;
}
public static String imgToBase64String(final RenderedImage img, final String formatName) {
final ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
ImageIO.write(img, formatName, Base64.getEncoder().wrap(os));
return os.toString();
} catch (final IOException ioe) {
throw new UncheckedIOException(ioe);
}
}
And this is our converting tool before sending the Base64 Image String to the back end.
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, baos);
return Base64.encodeToString(baos.toByteArray(), Base64.NO_WRAP);

Check that ur base64 encoded string does not start with data:image/jpg;base64,. If it does then remove it. The Base64.decode won't be able to decode it in this case. u can remove it by using encodedString.substring(encodedString.indexOf(",") + 1);. Let me know if this solves ur problem.

Try this,
ImageView driverImage = (ImageView) driverReportView.findViewById(R.id.imgViewDriverImage);
try {
byte [] encodeByte = Base64.decode(driverImageString.replace("\'/", "/"), Base64.DEFAULT);
Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(encodeByte, 0, encodeByte.length);
if (bitmap != null)
driverImage.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}catch (Exception ex){
Log.e(TAG,"Error to display driver info "+ex.toString());
}
Where
driverImageString is your image string

Creating base64 encoded JPG string from image from camera for upload

I am building an Android app that takes photos, then uploads them to a Rails API.
The api expects the base64 encoded raw file bytes, to be stored as a temp file representing the image in JPG format.
However, the API is rejecting the uploaded file with this error message:
<Paperclip::Errors::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError:
This seems to be due to a failure of encoding on the part of the Android app.
The base64 image bytes that I'm sending up look like this:
Which appears invalid just by looking at it.
The image is created in android by taking a pic with the Camera API and base64 encoding the resulting byteArray:
String encoded = Base64.encodeToString(byteArray, Base64.DEFAULT);
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

On button click for capturing an image from a camera use this
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File f = new File(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "temp.jpg");
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(f));
((Activity) context).startActivityForResult(intent, Constants.REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
and on activityResult of the activity implement the following code:
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
final ImageView uploadArea = (ImageView) attachmentDialog.findViewById(R.id.uploadArea);
Bitmap bitmap;
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == 1) {
File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString());
for (File temp : f.listFiles()) {
if (temp.getName().equals("temp.jpg")) {
f = temp;
break;
}
}
try {
BitmapFactory.Options bitmapOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(f.getAbsolutePath(),
bitmapOptions);
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(-90);
Bitmap rotatedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
rotatedBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, byteArrayOutputStream);
byte[] attachmentBytes = byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray();
String attachmentData = Base64.encodeToString(attachmentBytes, Base64.DEFAULT);
uploadArea.setImageBitmap(rotatedBitmap);
String path = android.os.Environment
.getExternalStorageDirectory()
+ File.separator
+ "CTSTemp" + File.separator + "default";
f.delete();
OutputStream outFile = null;
File file = new File(path, String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg");
try {
outFile = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 85, outFile);
outFile.flush();
outFile.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I hope this will help you, and for any farther info, please ask

Converting Image to bytearray in order to upload image to server Android

I have image's sd card path. Now what are the next steps to convert image into byte array because I want to upload the image to server?
Thanks in advance.

public static byte[] toByteArray (Bitmap raw) {
byte[] byteArray = null;
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream ();
raw.compress (Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
byteArray = stream.toByteArray ();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace ();
}
return byteArray;
}

Unable to convert bitmap image into byte[]

I want convert my captured image into byte[]. When I capture image using camera it gets captured and preview is also shown and images saves on my external storage as well successfully.But when I try to convert my preview image it doesn't stores anything in the byte array.
Following is my method which is called when I press preview image button on my phone.
public static void previewCapturedImage() {
try {
static ByteArrayOutputStream stream = null;
imgPreview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 8;
final Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(fileUri.getPath(),options);
imgPreview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

convert image to string & byte array, use following short of code.
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
yourbitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
//this will convert image to byte[]
byte[] byteArrayImage = baos.toByteArray();
// this will convert byte[] to string
String encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(byteArrayImage, Base64.DEFAULT);

Check the below working code. This includes quality adjustment also
/**
* #param bitmap
* #param quality 1 ~ 100
* #return
*/
public static byte[] compressBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int quality)
{
try
{
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, quality, baos);
return baos.toByteArray();
} catch (Exception e)
{
PrintLog.print(TAG, e.toString(), e);
}
return null;
}

android decode string base 64 to bitmap

Hi guys I wanted to ask you one thing, I have a chat that transfers strings and I can even attach of JPEG images before sending them to convert it into a string and then decode in BITMAP just that when I decode it crashes the app. I wanted to know if it is the right code to decode it.
NOME = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.comment);
NOME.setText(coment.comment);
String a = NOME.getText().toString();
if(a.length() > 1024 )
{
byte[] image = Base64.decode(a, 0);
int lung = a.length();
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(image, 0, lung);
Image = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.image);
Image.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}

The code looks fine, if I had to guess I would say you're getting the Out of Memory error, which is very common when loading images. Check out
http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/load-bitmap.html
for some best practices when loading images.

The method for Encoding an Image to String Base64 :
public static String encodeToString() {
String imageString = null;
try {
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, baos); //bm is the bitmap object
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();
imageString = Base64.encodeToString(b, Base64.DEFAULT);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return imageString;
}
The method for Decoding String Base64 to Image :
public static void decodeToImage(String imageString) {
try {
byte[] imageByte = Base64.decode(imageString, Base64.DEFAULT);
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageByte, 0, imageByte.length);
image_view.setImageBitmap(bm);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
