I’m developing an app which downloads a json objects into database,this is done so that the users can interact with the data without the knowladge of the data source.
I have managed to download the required fields from the json API into my database as string and I can display all fileds using textfields however I have 100 images which I want to present as images and not as string.
I have tried to implement several methods so that I can display the images.And followed several tutorails to see if I could find a solution to my problem.
1,2 and more.

Below is my DBHelper.

    @Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
    String sql = String.format( "create table %s ( %s int primary key, %s 
            TEXT, %s TEXT, %s TEXT, %S TEXT, %S TEXT, %S TEXT)",
            TABLE,C_ID 
             ,C_IDENTIFIER,C_PRICE,C_BEDROOMS,C_ADDRESS,C_PROPERTYTYPE,C_PHOTOS);

    Log.d(TAG, "OnCreate sql :"+sql);

    db.execSQL(sql);
    }

@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
    db.execSQL("drop table if exists "+TABLE);
    Log.d(TAG, "onUpdate dropped table" + TABLE);
    this.onCreate(db);
}

Here is the class which gets the fields from the database,which works fine other than the image.

    private SQLiteDatabase database;
private CursorAdapter dataSource;
private static final String fields[] = { "identifier", "price", "bedrooms",
        "ADDRESS", "PROPERTYTYPE", "PHOTOTHUMBNAILURL", BaseColumns._ID };

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.database);
    DBHelper helper = new DBHelper(this);
    database = helper.getReadableDatabase();
    database = helper.getWritableDatabase();
    Cursor data = database.query(DBHelper.TABLE, fields, null, null, null,
            null, null);

    dataSource = new SimpleCursorAdapter(
            this,
            R.layout.list,
            data,
            fields,
            new int[] { R.id.identifier2, R.id.price2, R.id.bedrooms2,
                    R.id.address2, R.id.propertytype2, R.id.propertyPhoto2 });

    setListAdapter(dataSource);


    // selecting single ListView item
    ListView lv = getListView();

    // Launching new screen on Selecting Single ListItem
    lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {


            // getting values from selected ListItem
            String identifier = ((TextView) view
                    .findViewById(R.id.identifier2)).getText().toString();

            String price = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.price2))
                    .getText().toString();
            String bedrooms = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.bedrooms2))
                    .getText().toString();
            String address = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.address2))
                    .getText().toString();
            String propertyType = ((TextView) view
                    .findViewById(R.id.propertytype2)).getText().toString();

  String photoThumbnailUrl = ((TextView)  
   view.findViewById(R.id.propertyPhoto2)).getText()
                    .toString();





        }
    });
    database.close();
    helper.close();

}

When I try this( String photoThumbnailUrl = ((TextView)
view.findViewById(R.id.propertyPhoto2)).getText()
.toString();)It works and displays the images as string however when I try to use this
(ImageView image =(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image1);
ByteArrayInputStream imageStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageByteArray);
Bitmap Image = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);) it does not work.

Any solution or advice, thanks in advance.
