It is shorter and I don't know why. Could someone please explain to me how to get the long version? Thankyou so much. Below is the code I am using to get the short version. I have obviously spent a long time Googling to figure this out and no one seems interested in this long thing.
String file1 = "C:\\Users\\J\\Desktop\\test5.jpg";
System.out.println("HERE");
FileInputStream imageInFile = new FileInputStream(file1);
byte imageData[] = new byte[(int) file1.length()];
imageInFile.read(imageData);
byte[] encodedBytes = Base64.encodeBase64(imageData);
System.out.println("encodedBytes " + new String(encodedBytes));
String convertedImageData = Base64.encodeBase64URLSafeString(imageData);
System.out.println(convertedImageData);
Below is the output of both of those:
HERE
encodedBytes /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEASABIAAD/2wBDAAYEBQ==
_9j_4AAQSkZJRgABAQEASABIAAD_2wBDAAYEBQ
Thanks for reading. I have tried MANY different things and come here now to ask.

imageInFile.read(imageData);
does not read the whole file into the array.
It reads some bytes length matching its internal buffer and returns as the result the number actually read.
You need to repeat the process in a loop till read no longer returns the data.
Check the javadoc.

Try these methods:
public static String imgToBase64String(final RenderedImage img, final String formatName) {
final ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
ImageIO.write(img, formatName, Base64.getEncoder().wrap(os));
return os.toString(StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1.name());
} catch (final IOException ioe) {
throw new UncheckedIOException(ioe);
}
}
public static BufferedImage base64StringToImg(final String base64String) {
try {
return ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(Base64.getDecoder().decode(base64String)));
} catch (final IOException ioe) {
throw new UncheckedIOException(ioe);
}
}
Taken from: Java BufferedImage to PNG format Base64 String

The years have passed...
Nowadays, I think the solution can be fount here: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/url-encoding-decoding-using-base64-in-java/
So this worked for me:
Base64.getUrlEncoder().encodeToString(bytes);
To get the byte[] bytes (completely) filled as another topic...
I tested adding an html inline image when sending an email...
<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,_9j_4AAQSkZ...

I want to use Gravatar but I don't want to publish users MD5 hashes of their e-mail addresses. And there is more potential problems. So I decided to download them and store them in my database.
But I have a problem with such a simple task as my profile picture (Earlybird) looks bad after downloading:
This is the code I used.
try (ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream()) {
final URL url = new URL("http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/" + account.getGravatarHash() + "?d=identicon");
final BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(url);
ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", baos);
pic = baos.toByteArray();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Value in pic is then directly stored to the database. Other pictures in my database are stored fine so problem must be in these lines.
EDIT:
I just partially fix the problem by changing "jpg" for a "png" even thought Gravatar tutorial is mentioning "jpg". Also I don't want to specify image format (unless all Gravatars are png). Can I avoid that? I want just save the bytes I get.

Browsers in most cases work with raw bytes. However it is highly appreciated to send "Content-Type: image/..." header for each image.
When you save bytes in DB you also have to
either save image content type, provided by Gravatar for this image or
convert image into your default format, so you can to hardcode content type for all images from your DB
To get headers, provided by Gravatar, you can use Apache HTTP Client.
To convert image into your preferred format, you can use ImageIO.

I found one similar problem with working solution:
try (ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream()){
final URL url = new URL("http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/" + account.getGravatarHash() + "?d=identicon");
InputStream inputStream = url.openStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int n;
while (-1 != (n = inputStream.read(buffer))) {
baos.write(buffer, 0, n);
}
inputStream.close();
pic = baos.toByteArray();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Looks like this works with png and jpg Gravatars.

I have to convert a string to an image, the string looks like this:

... and so on.
I converted it to a byte array and then tried to convert it to an BufferedImage but I always get a null pointer exception. I did some research and found out that the reason is, that I have no inputstreamreader registered but I have no solution. my code looks like this so far:
public static BufferedImage decodeToImage(String imageString) {
BufferedImage image = null;
byte[] imageByte;
try {
BASE64Decoder decoder = new BASE64Decoder();
imageByte = decoder.decodeBuffer(imageString);
image = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(imageByte));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return image;
}
If somebody could help me, I would be really glad.
Edit:
The data comes from a server its for an university project is send a command to the server and thats the answer of the server when using readline on the inputstream.

how to convert gif to base64?
here's what i try so far
public static String convertImageToBase64(String urlString, String type ){
String imageString = null;
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
URL url = new URL(urlString);
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read( url );
ImageIO.write(img, type, bos);
byte[] imageBytes = bos.toByteArray();
BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();
imageString = encoder.encode(imageBytes);
bos.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return imageString;
}
code above is working, but it lost the animation

Most likely the class BufferedImage does not support images with animation. So the code opens and parses the image only to the first frame.
Instead try directly getting the bytes with URL.openStream and then just convert the downloaded bytes to base64.
Notice that this way you can't be sure that the downloaded file is actually an image since you are not opening it at all. This may or may not be needed.

You have to use
public String encodeToString(byte[] src)
of class BASE64.Encoder (from java 8)

I'm assuming what you want is a Base64 representation of the GIF file itself, not the ImageIO representation. If you have an older version of Java without built-in Base64 support, Apache Commons Codec will do the job. Read the file into a byte array using URL.openStream(), not with ImageIO, then call Base64.encodeBase64String. If you want the result URL encoded, call Base64.encodeBase64URLSafe instead.
If you actually want the ImageIO representation, then you're stuck with losing the animation.

I am trying to load a .swf file in my page, i would like to make this load faster by converting it to Base64, rather providing a src. This is working great with image formats by using the below code
Java code
BufferedImage buffImg = ImageIO.read(new File(imagePath));
ImageIO.write(buffImg, imgExtension, bos);
byte[] imageBytes = bos.toByteArray();
BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();
imageString = encoder.encode(imageBytes);
but this is not working for swf file. is there any possible way to achieve this.
Html
<object width="10" height="10" data="data:application/x-shockwave-flash;base64, RldTCSEAAABIAZAAZAAADAEARBEIAAAAQwIAAP9AAAAA"></object>
thanks in advance.

Trying to get the file in base64 will not speed up the file transfer, it's just the opposite as it will convert the file which is stored in bytes (base256 if it can be said that way) to base64 (64 printable characters), so the final amount of data you will be transfering is more.
The only "win" is that you might be able to load it as part of the page instead of the browser making another call for the swf file, which should be no issue on http 1.1.
Unless you have some other good reason to do this, I would not suggest this kind of practice.
If you have your swf file(s) in a database as a blob, you could just make a servlet which sets the proper contenttype and write the whole file with the ServletOutputStream, without any tags. In your html code, you would have to reference to the servlet instead of a fixed file.
If you still want to convert the file to base64, you shouldn't use some image API, but get the file in a standard way for binary files, here's a sample that should do the job:
http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=245
You can still do the encoding as you did it once you have a byte array:
File file = new File(imagePath);
log("File size: " + file.length());
byte[] result = null;
try {
InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
result = readAndClose(input);
}
catch (FileNotFoundException ex){
log(ex);
}
BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();
imageString = encoder.encode(result);
And the readAndClose method:
byte[] readAndClose(InputStream aInput){
byte[] bucket = new byte[32*1024];
ByteArrayOutputStream result = null;
try {
try {
result = new ByteArrayOutputStream(bucket.length);
int bytesRead = 0;
while(bytesRead != -1){
bytesRead = aInput.read(bucket);
if(bytesRead > 0){
result.write(bucket, 0, bytesRead);
}
}
}
finally {
aInput.close();
}
}
catch (IOException ex){
log(ex);
}
return result.toByteArray();
}
This should do the trick, maybe some fine tunings to adapt the code to your specific situation, optimize it and better error handling...

On server (C++), binary data is compressed using ZLib function:
compress2()
and it's sent over to client (Java).
On client side (Java), data should be decompressed using the following code snippet:
public static String unpack(byte[] packedBuffer) {
InflaterInputStream inStream = new InflaterInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream( packedBuffer);
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int readByte;
try {
while((readByte = inStream.read()) != -1) {
outStream.write(readByte);
}
} catch(Exception e) {
JMDCLog.logError(" unpacking buffer of size: " + packedBuffer.length);
e.printStackTrace();
// ... the rest of the code follows
}
Problem is that when it tries to read in while loop it always throws:
java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid stored block lengths
Before I check for other possible causes can someone please tell me can I compress on one side with compress2 and decompress it on the other side using above code, so I can eliminate this as a problem? Also if someone has a possible clue about what might be wrong here (I know I didn't provide too much of of the code in here but projects are rather big.
Thanks.

I think the problem is not with unpack method but in packedBuffer content. Unpack works fine
public static byte[] pack(String s) throws IOException {
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DeflaterOutputStream dout = new DeflaterOutputStream(out);
dout.write(s.getBytes());
dout.close();
return out.toByteArray();
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
byte[] a = pack("123");
String s = unpack(a); // calls your unpack
System.out.println(s);
}
output
123

public static String unpack(byte[] packedBuffer) {
try (GZipInputStream inStream = new GZipInputStream(
new ByteArrayInputStream(packedBuffer));
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream()) {
inStream.transferTo(outStream);
//...
return outStream.toString(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
} catch(Exception e) {
JMDCLog.logError(" unpacking buffer of size: " + packedBuffer.length);
e.printStackTrace();
throw new IllegalArgumentException(e);
}
}
ZLib is the zip format, hence a GZipInputStream is fine.
A you seem to expect the bytes to represent text, hence be in some encoding, add that encoding, Charset, to the conversion to String (which always holds Unicode).
Note, UTF-8 is the encoding of the bytes. In your case it might be an other encoding.
The ugly try-with-resources syntax closes the streams even on exception or here the return.
I rethrowed a RuntimeException as it seems dangerous to do something with no result.
