I’m trying to convert the byte array image to bitmap, but after conversion it

  • 0

I’m trying to convert the byte array image to bitmap, but after conversion it gives me black image, why? 

// Camera arg conversion to Bitmap
                Bitmap cameraBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(arg0, 0,
                        arg0.length);
                 Bitmap background = Bitmap.createBitmap(cameraBitmap.getWidth(),
                 cameraBitmap.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

I want the camera image converted to bitmap. Any suggestion. Thanks in advance!!

    Unfortunately, the camera’s image format is not ARGB_8888. Most likely it’s something like YUV420p or maybe even the JPEG-compressed data.

    First of all, determine what is your case.

    You have two options: for YUV (which is an interleaved format) use some conversion format and for JPEG create a memorystream for your arg0 array and read the Bitmap from it.

    There are similar questions here: BitmapFactory null issue in android

    And there is even a solution here: Android byte[] to image in Camera.onPreviewFrame

    EDIT: you just have to mangle the bytes in your array a little.

    This wiki article explains how to convert the YUV422/420 to YUY2, required by the Android API.
    Search for the “Y’UV422 can also be expressed in YUY2 FourCC format code” substring there.
