Android: Displaying .jpg image from sdcard using ImageView

Question

I am trying to display a .jpg from my sd card into an imageview in my layout. I dont get any errors, but nothing gets displayed. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Answer 1

do NOT access the SD card directly, try accessing it trough Environment. Like this:

String imageDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/apple.jpg";

and then you can call BitmapFactory:

Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageDir);
