Bitmap Is Returning Null from Bitmapfactory.Decodefile(Filename)

Bitmap is returning null from BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filename)

Hi it is null because may be the image size is big and getting exception please check your log and see is there any error of outofmemory bitmap if yes then use options for that:

BitmapFactory.Options options;

try {
  String imageInSD = "/sdcard/UserImages/" + userImageName;
  Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageInSD);
  return bitmap;
} catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
  try {
    options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    options.inSampleSize = 2;
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageInSD, null, options);
    return bitmap;
  } catch(Exception excepetion) {
    Log.e(excepetion);
  }
}

android 10 BitmapFactory.decodeFile(ImageFilePath) return null

InputStream is = getContentResolver().openInputStream(data.getData());

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);

Use this for all Android versions.

Stop with trying to get a path for an uri.

BitmapFactory.decodeFile() returning null for existing image

Try adding bmOptions.inMutable = true after you have created it or try this
answer.

BitmapFactory.decodeFile return null

You should load the image first, then open the output stream, as this erases the existing content.

  Log.d("startedfromthebottom", file.getAbsolutePath()); //show the same path as in the activityresult above
  Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath()); //bitmap is always null
  OutputStream os = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
  bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,100,os);

This is a bit dangerous because if something goes wrong the image is lost. It could be a good idea to use an AtomicFile.

Edit (based on your updated code) :

    String imgPath = rep.getImgList().get(0);
    File file = new File(imgPath);
    AtomicFile atomicFile =  new AtomicFile(file);
    FileOutputStream fos = null;
    try {
        // read the current image
        Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
        // open the stream (backup the current content)
        // from now on (and until finishWrite/failWrite) we cannot read the file directly
        fos = atomicFile.startWrite();
        Log.d("showmethebitmap", bitmap.toString()); //Error: bitmap is null !
        OutputStream oos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,0,oos);
        // flush but do not close the stream (@see AtomicFile doc)
        oos.flush();
        // close the stream, remove the backup
        atomicFile.finishWrite(fos);
        ...
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // recover the content from the backup
        atomicFile.failWrite(fos);
        throw e;
    }

Why Bitmap.decodeFile() method is returning null?

Create/Save filePath : mCurrentPhotoPath like this in your createImageFile() Method.

File imageFile = new File(image.getAbsolutePath()); 

mCurrentPhotoPath = imageFile.toString();

BitmapFactory.decodeFile returns null with inJustDecodeBounds set to false

First, create a bitmap from file path

File imgFile = new  File("/storage/emulated/0/Hootout/HootImages/Profilepic/user_profile_photo.jpg");
if(imgFile.exists()){
    BitmapFactory.Options bmOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath(),bmOptions);
    bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap,parent.getWidth(),parent.getHeight(),true);
    imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
        

I think you are giving the wrong file path.
Let me know if any error again.

Android: decodeFile always returns null for file in internal storage

This question has been answered before such as here:
BitmapFactory.decodeFile returns null even image exists

This was exactly what I needed:

String fname=new File(getFilesDir(), "test.png").getAbsolutePath();
