How can I import an image to my PDF using itext

Question

I already create table and some extra information as a PDF. But I couldn't import image to my PDF whatever I did. I have my_thumb.png file in assets folder.

in my MainActivity class

try { inputStream = MainActivity.this.getAssets().open("my_thumb.png"); Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream); ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream); model.setThumbStream(stream); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); }

in my CreatePDF class

Image thumb = Image.getInstance(Model.getThumbStream().toByteArray()); companyLogo.setAbsolutePosition(document.leftMargin(),121); companyLogo.scalePercent(25); document.add(thumb);

and the problem is

bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);

this line returns with null.

What is the point that I missing?

Thanks in advance.

You first get the png to drawable

Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(getAssets().open("my_thumb.png"), null);

then convert drawable to bitmap and get the byte array :)

Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)d).getBitmap(); ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream); byte[] bitmapdata = stream.toByteArray();
