Android Gallery view with images saved in sqlite as blob


i need to show images from sqlite database into gridview or gallery view.





this is the code for displaying on a single view:




mMain = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ivMain);
byte[] blob = imgs.getBytes(); //there is a method that will return the bytes from the database
ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(blob);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
mMain.setImageBitmap(bitmap);



i have the android tutorial for grid view but it gets the image from file




// references to our images
private Integer[] mThumbIds = {
R.drawable.sample_2, R.drawable.sample_3
... }



is there a way to populate the gridview from the sqlite database?

  1. private void getDataAndPopulate() {

    image = new ArrayList<byte[]>();
    caption = new ArrayList<String>();

    cursor=db.rawQuery("select * from NAME",null);


    while (cursor.moveToNext()) {

    byte[] temp_image = cursor.getBlob(2);
    String temp_caption = cursor.getString(1);
    String temp_id= cursor.getString(0);
    image.add(temp_image);
    caption.add(temp_caption);
    id.add(temp_id);
    }
    String[] captionArray = (String[]) caption.toArray(
    new String[caption.size()]);

    ItemsAdapter itemsAdapter = new ItemsAdapter(Item_show_grid.this, R.layout.item_grid,captionArray);
    gv.setAdapter(itemsAdapter);

    }
