Either use API level 8 or copy the base 64 class, which you can find here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Base64.html

base64String is a String representing the picture in a base64 format. ImageView is your imageview which you want the picture to be shown in. The String you posted earlier.

Then you just can use this snippet:

    byte[] buf = Base64.decode(base64String,0);

    BitmapFactory factory = new BitmapFactory();
    Bitmap bitmap = factory.decodeByteArray(buf, 0, buf.length);
    ImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
