Convert Android Base64 Bitmap and Display on HTML Base64 Image

Question

I develop a custom messenger application which sends message from client(Android) to another client(web). My problem is when I send image file, I encoded it to Base64 string and then send it to another client. When the recipient client is Android, the app successfully decoded the Base64 String to bitmap image. But when the recipient client is web app, the web application failed to decode and display it using :

<img id="img" src="data:image/jpeg;base64,3iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSU...">

My Java encode/decode method

    public static Bitmap base64StringToBitmap(String base64) {
        byte[] bytes = Base64.decode(base64, Base64.URL_SAFE);
        return BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
    }

    public static String bitmapToBase64String(Bitmap bmp, Bitmap.CompressFormat format, int quality) {
        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();  
        bmp.compress(format, quality, baos);
        byte[] bytes = baos.toByteArray();
        return Base64.encodeToString(bytes, Base64.URL_SAFE);
    }

I've tried to change the encoding method to Base64.DEFAULT, but still the Base64 String cannot be displayed in HTML using data:image/jpeg;base64. Is there any differences between Android Base64 string and Base64 string used to display image in HTML? Please suggest me the solution. Thanks

EDIT :

This is the base64 string example generated from my Android application, with padding. I failed to display it on html/web, although it can be displayed fine on Android :

Answer 1

I had a similar issue where I wanted to convert an Android generated BASE64 string to Binary with Javascript and atob function was keep giving me errors. My first guess was like yours to use URL_SAFE instead of DEFAULT, but none of them worked, then I figure it out that I need to use Base64.NO_WRAP method to get it working. I tested Base64.NO_WRAP and displaying inline image and IT WORKED!!!!

Hope this save you some nerves, because I did had some till I figure it out how to do it.

So to give the nice answer, change: return Base64.encodeToString(bytes, Base64.URL_SAFE); to this: return Base64.encodeToString(bytes, Base64.NO_WRAP);
