Question

I have a BMP image and I wish to convert it into a Bitmap object in Android. Can anyone explain me how this can be done ?

Answer 1

1) Read the .bmp file

2) Done 🙂

EXAMPLE:

  InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
  Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);

Here’s a link to supported bitmap formats:
