I have a simple function to get an image file from a remote server and return it as a bitmap, here:
public static Bitmap getRemoteImage(final URL aURL) { try { final URLConnection conn = aURL.openConnection(); conn.connect(); InputStream is = conn.getInputStream(); BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is, (512*1024)); ByteArrayBuffer baf = new ByteArrayBuffer(50); int current = 0; while ((current = bis.read()) != -1) { baf.append((byte)current); } byte[] imageData = baf.toByteArray(); Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageData, 0, imageData.length); bis.close(); is.close(); // Just to give me a break point after everything else in the function is done Bitmap b = bm; return b; } catch (Exception e) { Exception xcp = e; xcp = null; }catch(Error e){ Error xcp = e; xcp = null; } return null; } Everything in this function executes exactly as you would expect, the byte array is full with the right amount of data, the decodeByteArray method returns a Bitmap, both close functions work, and then instead of returning the bitmap, it simply bails out of the try block and returns null. No errors, no warnings, nothing. I've had the issues with OOM errors before and this is not throwing one. LogCat is not showing an allocation error as you would expect if it were a memory issue. The bitmap that is returned has properties that I can see, but not the correct ones. The bitmap object ("bm") looks like this: bm Bitmap (id=830063098568) mDensity 160 mHeight -1 mIsMutable false mNativeBitmap 1348080 mNinePatchChunk null mRecycled false mSrcName null mWidth -1 The byte array has a length of 73462, so I know it got the image. The image is a png, but I've tried several different formats. If I could get an error I would at least know what to fix, but it simply skips the return statement inside the try block and returns null every time. Anyone have any insight? ryanm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
