Convert a File Object to Bitmap

Question

I am using Universal-Image-Loader and there is this functionality that access the file cache of the image from sd card. But I don't know how to convert the returned file cache into bitmap. Basically I just wanted to assign the bitmap to an ImageView.

File mSaveBit = imageLoader.getDiscCache().get(easyPuzzle);

Log.d("#ImageValue: ", ""+mSaveBit.toString());
mImageView.setImageBitmap(mSaveBit);

Error: "The method setImageBitmap(Bitmap) in the type ImageView is not applicable for the arguments (File)"

Answer 1

You should be able to use BitmapFactory:

File mSaveBit; // Your image file
String filePath = mSaveBit.getPath();  
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
mImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

Answer 2

1. Define File

   String fileName = "/myImage.jpg";
   File file = new File(fileName); 
   

2. get Bitmap of Image

   Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
   

3. Set Bitmap to ImageView

   myImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
