BitmapFactory.decodeFile returns null with inJustDecodeBounds set to false

Question

In my android app I am trying to create a Bitmap file from path.

Here is the path

localImagePath = "/storage/emulated/0/Hootout/HootImages/Profilepic/user_profile_photo.jpg"

Here is code for creating bitmap.

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 2;
options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(localImagePath, options);

The bitmap file always turns out to be null.

What other things can I try?

Answer 1

First, create a bitmap from file path

File imgFile = new  File("/storage/emulated/0/Hootout/HootImages/Profilepic/user_profile_photo.jpg");
if(imgFile.exists()){
    BitmapFactory.Options bmOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath(),bmOptions);
    bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap,parent.getWidth(),parent.getHeight(),true);
    imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
        

I think you are giving the wrong file path. Let me know if any error again.
