POStoring a Bitmap into a ContentProvider from a BroadcastReciever
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm working on an app that, upon instillation of certain apps will send a message to them to register with a content provider. It all works fine, the strings are stored, but I can't get the byte[] blob (a bitmap .png file) to convert properly from within onRecieve() in the broadcastreciever.</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.v("xxxxxxxxxxxxx", "onReceive, from within RegisterApp"); this.context = context; ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put("app_name", getAppName()); values.put("app_description", getAppDescription()); ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); Bitmap b = getAppIcon(); b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 0, stream); byte[] blob = stream.toByteArray(); values.put("icon", blob); context.getContentResolver().insert( Uri.parse("content://blahblahblahblah"), values); } </code></pre> <p>I hijack the context so that I can get a hold on the image from the getAppIcon() call (You extend this class which is an abstract class extending BroadcastReceiver)</p> <p>i.e.</p> <pre><code>@Override protected Bitmap getAppIcon() { Log.v(TAG, "putting icon"); return BitmapFactory.decodeResource(this.context.getResources(), R.drawable.icon); } </code></pre> <p>But my understanding of the context is limited and I think this is what is causing it to be stored incorrectly. </p> <p>I've also tried getting the bitmap from the resources when onRecieve() is called and that doesn't work either. </p> <p>I'm at a loss, any assistance would be appreciated.</p>
