Base64 image conversion in android resulting in corrupted image

Question

I need to upload JSON to server so I tried to encode it using base64 and then sending it through JSON but while decoding the image at the server end, the image appears corru

Answer 1

Okay its working for me. i have got the right image after i have decoded in the second activity. Just for checking i have an ImageView in Act1 and here i convert it into Base64String pass it as a string to Act2 and in Act2(in second activity i have a Android bot in the image view) i decode base 64 image and set the bitmap that i got decoding it.

Code of first activity:

public class ActivityImageBase64 extends Activity {

    ImageView ivOriginal;
    String imageInBase64;
    private Bitmap mBitmap;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_image_base64);

    ivOriginal = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ivAct1);
    ivOriginal.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);


}


public void start(View v){


    mBitmap = ivOriginal.getDrawingCache(); 

    ByteArrayOutputStream byteArray = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    mBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, byteArray);
    byte[] byteArr = byteArray.toByteArray();  
    imageInBase64 = Base64.encodeToString(byteArr, Base64.DEFAULT);

    System.out.println(imageInBase64);

    Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityImageBase64.this, ActivityImageBase64_2.class);
    intent.putExtra("image", imageInBase64);
    startActivity(intent);

}

}

Code in Second Activity(decode the string to bitmap)

public class ActivityImageBase64_2 extends Activity {


ImageView ivBase64Image;
private String base64Image;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_activity_image_base64_2);

    ivBase64Image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ivAndroidBot);
    base64Image = getIntent().getStringExtra("image");


    byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(base64Image, Base64.DEFAULT);
    Bitmap base64Bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedString, 0,
            decodedString.length);

    ivBase64Image.setImageBitmap(base64Bitmap);
}

}
