Create a Bitmap/Drawable from file path

Question

I'm trying to create a Bitmap or Drawable from existing file path.

String path = intent.getStringExtra("FilePath"); BitmapFactory.Options option = new BitmapFactory.Options(); option.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;  mImg.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path)); // mImg.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, option)); // mImg.setImageDrawable(Drawable.createFromPath(path)); mImg.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); mText.setText(path); 

But setImageBitmap(), setImageDrawable() doesn't show an image from the path. I've printed path with mText and it looks like : /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/100LGDSC/CAM00001.jpg

What am i doing wrong? Anyone can help me?

Create bitmap from file path:

File sd = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); File image = new File(sd+filePath, imageName); BitmapFactory.Options bmOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options(); Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(image.getAbsolutePath(),bmOptions); bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap,parent.getWidth(),parent.getHeight(),true); imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap); 

If you want to scale the bitmap to the parent's height and width then use Bitmap.createScaledBitmap function.

I think you are giving the wrong file path. :) Hope this helps.
