I am currently working on using asynctask to load image. I have reference to a example class . However, the Bitmap result there is null. Why is that and how can I fix the problem ? thanks. The code are shown below.
package com.example.json;
import java.io.File;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageView;
class ImgAdapter extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, Bitmap> {
    private ImageView imv;
    private String path;
    public ImgAdapter(ImageView imv) {
        this.imv = imv;
        this.path = imv.getTag().toString();
    }
    @Override
    protected Bitmap doInBackground(Object... params) {
        Bitmap bitmap = null;
        File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                .getAbsolutePath() + path);
        if (file.exists()) {
            bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
        }
        return bitmap;
    }
    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
        if (!imv.getTag().toString().equals(path)) {
            /*
             * The path is not same. This means that this image view is handled
             * by some other async task. We don't do anything and return.
             */
            return;
        }
        if (result != null && imv != null) {
            Log.i("test","success");
            imv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            imv.setImageBitmap(result);
        } else {
            Log.i("test","result=" + String.valueOf(result == null)); //result is null here
            Log.i("test","imv=" + String.valueOf(imv == null));
            Log.i("test","fail");
            imv.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
    }
}
How to call in ListView adapter:
public View getView(int arg0, View arg1, ViewGroup arg2) {
ImageView thumbnail = (ImageView) arg1.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
ShopEntry entry = getItem(arg0);
thumbnail.setTag(entry.image_url);
new ImgAdapter(thumbnail).execute();
return arg1;
}
