PARSE JSON (Encode base 64) STRING in Android - php

Question

**$sql = 'select * from dish_category';
$results =$conn->query($sql);
$spots = array(); //array to parse jason from
while($spot = $results->fetch_assoc()){
$spots[] = $spot;
}
foreach($spots as $key=>$value){
$newArrData[$key] = $spots[$key];
$newArrData[$key]['Cat_Image'] = base64_encode($spots[$key]['Cat_Image']);
}
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode($newArrData);**
Above is the PHP code, it works perfectly fine and return JSON string, now i am confused how to parse image(decode base64) in android?

Answer 1

byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(encodedImage, Base64.DEFAULT);
Bitmap decodedByte = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedString, 0,
decodedString.length);

Answer 2

You should do it one by one:
Get the JSON response as string in android.
Parse the JSON and get the base64 string only.
Convert the base64 string to byte array by decoding it.
Create a new ByteArrayInputStream using the byte array.
Use the input stream to create a Bitmap: BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream)
