Display byte[] to ImageView in Android

Question

Is it possible to do this? I'm reading an XML file that has the Base64 string of an image. I'm planning to use Base64.decode to have the byte array of the image string. I'm stuck though on how to use it in an ImageView. Do i have to create a 'drawable' class first then set it to ImageView's src property?

Thanks!

In case anyone else stumbles across this question, here is the code

import android.graphics.Bitmap; import android.graphics.BitmapFactory; import android.widget.ImageView;  public class ModelAssistant {      public static void setImageViewWithByteArray(ImageView view, byte[] data) {         Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);         view.setImageBitmap(bitmap);     } }

You can use BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray() to perform the decoding.
