Not an Android guru or sure of your real needs but, is it not possible to store the file location in your database and just store the image in the filesystem (or, just store the image in a well-known location in your filesystem [or on the classpath])? — wmorrison365, Feb 25 '13 at 10:23

Use Base64 Class to convert it into String and then store in Database. You can convert it back into image whenever it is required.

bad idea ... common solution is to store only path in db and files in (surprise!) file system – Selvin Feb 25 '13 at 10:32
why convert to base64 ? what good is that ? what's wrong with storing bytes ? – njzk2 Feb 25 '13 at 10:42
