How to save bitmap in database?

Question

I want to know how to save a bitmap in database. I created table in db as:

@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db)
{
    db.execSQL(\"CREATE TABLE \" +

If you have Bitmap image then you can do following.

Bitmap photo = 
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, bos);
byte[] bArray = bos.toByteArray();

Then you can save data in table using following way.

db = YourDBHelper.getInstance(ctx).getWritableDatabase();    
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();         
values.put("image", bArray);            
db.insert(TABLE_NAME , null, values);
