Following are the steps that will show you how to retrieve image from MS-SQL database in Android Studio.
(1) Step – 1 : Add following code in your layout resource file activity_get_image.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".GetImageActivity">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/imageSql"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_50sdp"
/>
</LinearLayout>
(2) Step – 2 : Now add the following code to your java file GetImageActivity.java
public class GetImageActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
ImageView imageView;
Connection con;
Statement stmt;
ResultSet rs;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_get_image);
imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageSql);
try{
con = connectionClass(ConnectionClass.un.toString(),ConnectionClass.pass.toString(),ConnectionClass.db.toString(),ConnectionClass.ip.toString());
String query = "SELECT * FROM Image";
stmt = con.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
if(rs.next()){
String image = rs.getString("image");
byte[] bytes = Base64.decode(image,Base64.DEFAULT);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public Connection connectionClass(String user, String password, String database, String server){
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
Connection connection = null;
String connectionURL = null;
try{
Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
connectionURL = "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://" + server+"/" + database + ";user=" + user + ";password=" + password + ";";
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL);
}catch (Exception e){
Log.e("SQL Connection Error : ", e.getMessage());
}
return connection;
}
}
