obey the file extension rules. You can try to parse the file by BitmapFactory as following: 1 = 2? A Non-Math Riddle
43
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, options);
if (options.outWidth != -1 && options.outHeight != -1) {
// This is an image file.
}
else {
// This is not an image file.
}

1 But you would need a try catch right?.. – Doomsknight Dec 7 '12 at 9:45

You can just check the return value of BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, options); – zsxwing Dec 7 '12 at 9:48

3 options.inJustDecodeBounds = true decrease the parsing time cost since decodeFile will parse only the width
and height of the image. – zsxwing Dec 7 '12 at 9:57

@zsxwing if are get system file and witch have no permission to decode then get the null pointer excepetion u
can t read this file and create bitmap.and another thing is when u check the multiple
file every time to decode and check it s increase to generate the outofMemory problem.Just think
and then reply. – Zala Janaksinh Dec 7 '12 at 10:29

3 @zsxwing decodeFile(String, Options) will always return null if you set inJustDecodeBounds =
true . Use this check to see if it was decoded successfully: if (options.outWidth != -1 &&
options.outHeight != -1) – Baz May 10 '13 at 8:37
