BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream) always return null when some bytes are wrong

Question

I\'m building an android app and I\'m currently having trouble retrieving a bitmap from an URL. Here is the code I\'m using :

public static Bitmap bmpFromURL         


        

Answer 1

This is a known bug fixed in a future version of Android. You can work around it by first copying the content of the InputStream into a byte[] array and then decoding the byte array itself.
