Same here. Sounds like a JPEG and not JPG encoded.

I have the same problem. Any solutions?

[Sandrichka22]

I did a little research and it seems that the BitmapRegionDecoder that this library uses to decode the cropped region has a number of problems which are caused because of the Skia library that BitmapRegionDecoder uses. The Skia library seems to has a number of unfixed bugs and although it displays the vast majority of images properly, there are numerous problems while displaying CMYK JPGs, and/or grayscale PNGs.

One possible solution, according to the creator of another library which is experiencing similar problems because of BitmapRegionDecoder, is to use a custom decoder. It would be great if this problem is solved in the future releases of this library, but frankly I don't know the complexity behind the custom decoder implementation.

Here are some useful links:

Hope this helps

This lib is definitely not production ready. You should point this out on the main page.

I have managed to get around this problem. BitmapFactory has no problem decoding the image, however BitmapRegionDecoder fails.

When BitmapRegionDecoder fails, I decode the full image using BitmapFactory and then compress to a temp file. Reassign the Uri and then start again.
