I know android does not support TIFF format but I'm getting a Base64 image string from a web service and i need to display it. 

   byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(serverResponse, Base64.DEFAULT);
   Bitmap imgMap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedString, 0, decodedString.length);

I tried decoding it with BitmapFactory, but since it doesn't recognize it as a picture it returns null

Is there any external jar or something i can add to display/convert the picture?

Thanks in advance for your help!!

If you are willing to add some C++ to your project via the Android NDK, then libtiff should do what you want.
