Exception in Drawable.createFromResourceStream() — HTC ONLY?

Question

I\'ve released an IME (soft keyboard) app and I am getting crash reports from HTC phones only. Here is the stack trace:

java.lang.NullPointe         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried supplying Drawable.createFromResourceStream with a full set of valid params? I've looked at the Android code, and you saftely pass both a dummy TypedValue and a dummy Options objects and still maintain the default behaviour.

So:

    Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    TypedValue dummy = new TypedValue(); 

    Drawable d = Drawable.createFromResourceStream( mContext.getResources(), dummy, in, assetPath, opts);

Can anyone verify this on an HTC device?

Answer 2

You can just use Drawable.createFromStream () instead of Drawable.createFromResourceStream()

Answer 3

Found a solution for this problem, you can replace the call to Drawable.createFromResourceStream with:

// set options to resize the image
Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options();
opts.inDensity = 160;

Drawable drawable  = null;
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath(), opts);
if (bm != null) {
  drawable = new BitmapDrawable(context.getResources(), bm);
}

This only works with files.
