Convert image to base64 String and vice versa

Image to base64 String

To convert image to base64 String use the code given below.
1. Define a new ByteArrayOutputStream.
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream();

2. Convert image in ImageView to Bitmap.
Bitmap bm = ((android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable) imageview1.getDrawable()).getBitmap();

Or convert image in drawable folder to Bitmap.
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.image);

3. Convert bitmap image to byte array and encode it to String.
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
byte[] imageBytes = baos.toByteArray();
String imageString = android.util.Base64.encodeToString(imageBytes, android.util.Base64.DEFAULT);

Base64 String to image

1. Decode String to Byte array
byte[] imageBytes = android.util.Base64.decode(imageString, android.util.Base64.DEFAULT);

2. Convert Byte array to Bitmap
Bitmap decodedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.length);

3. Set the Bitmap as image of ImageView.
imageview1.setImageBitmap(decodedImage);

 Here imageString is a base64 String.

    I have figured out how to send and retrieve images to Firebase but it's showing the same image what am I missing? I'm trying to create a shopping application for a friend and this is a main part of the application, as it is sending a huge string of random numbers and integers.

    Thanks

      If you are Creating a shopping Application, you should use Android Studio or AIDE, and instead of converting image to String you should use Firebase Storage. You can get the codes for uploading image to Firebase Storage if you search google.

    If you want a simple audio-to-text conversion for brief notes, transcribear Converter has a decent option. If you want to convert video to text, then you should visit their website.

    Before upload any image, we should compress the image ​first..
