How to load base64 images from database and show them in Glide?-CodePudding

Could you please help me? I got a list of images from the database that come in base64 format. I need to show those images using Glide. How can I convert base64 format so that Glide could understand them? Thank you.

To show an image in Glide that is in base64 format, you will first need to decode the base64 string and convert it into a byte array. You can then use the byte array to create a Bitmap object, which can be displayed in an ImageView using Glide.

// Load the base64 string from the database
String base64String = "base64ImageReponse";

// Decode the base64 string into a byte array
byte[] imageBytes = Base64.decode(base64String, Base64.DEFAULT);

// Convert the byte array into a Bitmap object
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.length);

// Load the Bitmap object into an ImageView using Glide
ImageView imageView = findViewById(R.id.image_view);
Glide.with(this).load(bitmap).into(imageView);

Please remember that base64 strings can be quite long, so decoding and converting them into a Bitmap object can be resource-intensive. Therefore it's recommended to decode the base64 strings in a background thread to avoid slowing down the main UI thread.
