How to set image in ImageView from BASE64 string reciveb dy JSON

Question

I have something like:

JSONArray Icons      = new JSONArray();

In AsyncTask I'm reciving images in BASE64 from Flask server:

Icons      = (JSONArray) result.get("Icons");

Now I need to update ImageView with images that are stored in JSONArray in BASE64. It should be something like:

imageView.setImageBitmap(Icons.get(i)...)

Answer 1

You can decode the base64 image and set in imageView like this:

byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(strBase64, Base64.DEFAULT);
Bitmap decodedByte = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedString, 0, decodedString.length); 
image.setImageBitmap(decodedByte);

Also, check whether you're receiving a valid base64 string before setting it.
