First, image has not even been initialized, so you could not read from it in any case. Second, you can't cast from Bitmap to byte[], for the same reason you cannot cast from Integer to int, or Double to double, or Boolean to boolean. You cannot cast from an Object to a primitive. Use BitmapFactory.decodeStream(). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
