Base64 decode for image/jpeg;base64 in android

Question

I am trying to decode base64 encoded string into bitmap in android. The encoded string will start with "image/jpeg;base64,"

I use the following method:

public static Bitmap decodeBase64(String input)
{
    byte[] decodedByte = Base64.decode(input, Base64.DEFAULT); 
    // also tried using Base64.URL_SAFE , Base64.NO_PADDING

    return BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedByte, 0, decodedByte.length);
}

Assume that I am calling the above method as

ImageView get_img=(ImageView)fundViewByID(R.id.getImg);  
get_img.setImageBitmap(ImageCache.decodeBase64(url))

When I run the code it either throws

--- SkImageDecoder::Factory returned null

or

bad base-64 with IllegalArgumentException

The below is base64 string

Could you add the actual function call please(where you call decodeBase64). – Ansel

@Duncan question updated.. – Heligoland

I suspect your Base64 data is not valid based on your second error. Is data passed into the function the string you provided? – Ansel

@Duncan That throws when i use the flag Base64.URL_SAFE – Heligoland

What is contained in the url variable you are passing into decodeBase64? If you are looking for a solution you should make sure your questions contain as much data as possible. – Ansel

It's valid data, I decoded it online and its an image of a beach scene – Otho

@Otho thats what the problem is.. it works on browser but when i use base64.DEFAULT flag and run the code it fails to decode and says -- SkImageDecoder::Factory returned null – Heligoland

Answer 1

The string "data:image/jpeg;base64," is not a valid base64 Encoded string. So it must be removed before decoding.

here you go.

String encodedDataString =

Grumble

Use this if you're not dealing with just jpeg files but also other image types like png, gif etc: data = data.substring(url.indexOf(",")); – Robertson

Answer 2

You don't need the data:image/jpeg;base64, at the start of the string, that is actually not part of Base64 encoding per se but a Base64 Data URI for a web browser. Just pass the string from /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABA... onwards and it will decode properly.
