Question

I am having a folder structure and files on SDCard.When i’m trying to view images using ACTION_VIEW,images in folders are viewed by imgeviewer.The problem is when i’m to opening an image from a folder with special characters i’m unable to view the images.

The exception is got exception decoding bitmap java.lang.NullPointerException.

When i’m checking the folder exists or not,the answer is yes.ImageViewer is not able to view the files in folders with specialcharacters.

Note: When I tried to create folder with encoded special characters and tried to view image,the problem persists.

Thanks & Regards,
Sha

Answer 1

Encode the Url to parse before passing to Intent.

      `Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
       Uri data = Uri.parse(UrlEncoder.encode(ParentFolderPath)+"/test.jpg");
       intent.setDataAndType(data, "image/*");
       startActivity(intent);`
