After fiddling around for many hours, I tried this approach: - Download the image - Byte64-encode the downloaded bitmap - Use the resulting string as the image source
String thumbData = Base64.encodeBytes(data); String thumb = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + thumbData; (Base64 is an open-source Base64-encoder I found) Sadly, this produced the same result as before. No image, just [OBJ]. :( -Zarah. On Oct 27, 6:23 pm, Zarah Dominguez <[email protected]> wrote: > Uh-oh, that sounds ominous.
