Answer 1

Try this, it might work:

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inDither = false;
options.inPurgeable = true;
options.inInputShareable = true;
options.inTempStorage = new byte[1024 *32];

Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageAsBytes, 0, imageAsBytes.length, options);
alert_photo.setImageBitmap(bm);
