Why the Bitmap is always null, from image byte array?



I have a problem and can not solve in my application. The application performs operations on images like PNG, the image is convert in a byte array , then a piece from this array of bytes is performed on bitwise operations , the problem is the new series of new bitmap format byte is always null. I just do not understand why the new bitmap, from new array byte, is always null and not know how to fix it this bug.







// GetByte method from Image



private byte[] getByteImageData(String filePath) {

/*

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);

Bitmap mutable = bitmap.copy(Bitmap.Config.RGB_565, true);

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

mutable.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, baos);



return baos.toByteArray();

*/





byte[] _imagebytedata = new byte[1024];

InputStream _input = null;



try {

if (filePath != null && (filePath.length() > 0)) {



// Create a file for image

File _fileimage = new File(filePath);



if (_fileimage.exists()) {



// Get the byte from file image

_input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(

_fileimage));

_imagebytedata = new byte[(int) _fileimage.length()];

_input.read(_imagebytedata, 0, (int) _fileimage.length());

_input.close();

}

}

} catch (Exception e) {



}



// Bitwise operations



private byte[] Text(byte[] imagedata, byte[] textmess, int offset) {





for (int i = 0; i < textmess.length; ++i) {

int add = textmess[i];



for (int bit = 7; bit >= 0; --bit, ++offset) {

int b = (add >>> bit) & 1;

imagedata[offset] = (byte) ((imagedata[offset] & 0xFE) |b);

}

}

return imagedata;

}



//Save image from new byte array



private boolean saveImage(String pathFile,byte[] encodedimage) {



OutputStream _output = null;

File _newFileImage = new File(pathFile);

byte[] _encodedimage = encodedimage;

//Bitmap _imagebitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(encodedimage, 0, encodedimage.length);



if (_newFileImage.exists()) {

try {



_output = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(

_newFileImage));

_output.write(_encodedimage, 0, _encodedimage.length);

_output.flush();

_output.close();

return true;



} catch (Exception e) {

}

;



}// _newFileImage.exists()

return false;

}





public boolean encodeTextInFile(String filepath, String text) {



byte[] _newimagebytedata;

byte[] _imagebytedata = getByteImageData(filepath);

byte[] _textbytedata = text.getBytes();

byte[] _lengthbytedata = byteConversion(text.length());



Bitmap _bitmapunu = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(_imagebytedata, 0, _imagebytedata.length);

_newimagebytedata = Text(_imagebytedata, _lengthbytedata, 33);

Bitmap _bitmapdoi = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(_newimagebytedata, 0, _newimagebytedata.length);

// The value of variable _bitmapdoi is null

_newimagebytedata = Text(_imagebytedata, _textbytedata, 65);



return saveImage(filepath, _newimagebytedata);

}

  1. It looks as if you are trying to encode a text message in the lower bits of the image (if I understand your code correctly). I actually used this as a christmas card for fellow geeks this year.

    However, when you create Text you encode the text into the byte[] of the image file thus probably destroying the image (unless you are very lucky). You probably want your addition of the text bytes to be on the decoded image (Bitmap _bitmapunu).

    The javadoc for Bitmap.decodeByteArray says that it will return null if the image can not be decoded.

    This is what you need to do:


    Read the image bytes from the file, say fileArray.
    Decode the fileArray into actual pixels, imageArray
    Manipulate the pixels in imageArray
    Encode the pixels into a image format again (such as png), say newFileArray.
    Store the newFileArray to a file.


    What you seem to be doing is trying to manipulate the bytes in fileArray directly, thus breaking the file format and making it impossible to decode the bytes into pixels.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
