How to load image through byte array using Glide?

Question

I have an image contents byte[] form. But when i load them through Glide then broken images are shown. what I'm doing is shown below.

Glide.with(context)     .load(imageByteArray)     .asBitmap()     .placeholder(R.drawable.ic_broken)     .into(rowImageView); 

imageByteArray successfully converts to bitmap without using glide. So there is no wrong with image byte array.

Please guide me what I'm missing?

Also I'm using Glide library com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.6.1 And Android support library com.android.support:support-v13:23.0.1

Edited

Ok, This is what I'm doing.

String imageBytes = "HVao14fpmtHSev3OgsrQNsawkFzXNcY3BsfQla6..." 

This string above defined is bytes of actual image which I'm receiving from web API.

I'm converting this String into byte array like this

public static byte[] hexStringToByteArray(String s) {         int len = s.length();         byte[] data = new byte[len / 2];         for (int i = 0; i < len; i += 2) {             data[i / 2] = (byte) ((Character.digit(s.charAt(i), 16) << 4)                     + Character.digit(s.charAt(i+1), 16));         }         return data; } 

Than I'm applying resultant byte array "imageByteArray" to Glide code defined above.

Answer 1

Lets say your base64 string is

String imageBytes = "HVao14fpmtHSev3OgsrQNsawkFzXNcY3BsfQla6..." 

You should convert imageBytes String to array of bytes through

byte[] imageByteArray = Base64.decode(imageBytes, Base64.DEFAULT); 

afterwards pass this imageByteArray to Glide.

Glide.with(context)     .load(imageByteArray)     .asBitmap()     .placeholder(R.drawable.ic_broken)     .into(rowImageView); 

Answer 2

You can convert Base64 String to image using the following

Glide.with(context)     .load(Base64.decode(base64ImageString, Base64.DEFAULT))     .asBitmap()     .placeholder(R.drawable.ic_broken)     .into(rowImageView);
