image decoding problem in android
- by achie
Some of the images are not being displayed in the web browser in android while they work fine on all other machines and mobile devices.
this is an example of one of those images

So I tried to pull the image to see it if it works from code. This is what I did
URL url = new URL(address);
InputStream is = (InputStream) url.getContent();
Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, "src");
It works for most images but for some images including this images it gives this error
D/skia (28314): --- decoder-decode returned false
Why is this happening and how can I prevent this. I saw an example on the developers forum but thats when we are accessing the image directly. But what I want is the browser to handle it. So how do I encode my images on my server for the android devices to recognise them correctly?
