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

Answer 1

Try this one out..It worked for me. hope it helps.

result = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new PatchInputStream(input));

public class PatchInputStream extends FilterInputStream {
   public PatchInputStream(InputStream input) {
       super(input);
   }
   public long skip(long n) throws IOException {
       long m = 0L;
       while (m < n) {
           long _m = in.skip(n-m);
           if (_m == 0L) break;
           m += _m;
       }
       return m;
   }
}

Answer 2

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.
