How to use images in Android SQLite that are larger than the limitations of a CursorWindow?

by

Note This is not recommended as it would still likely be quite inefficient in comparison to storing the path to an image file.

Reading an image file into bitmap from sdcard, why am I getting a NullPointerException?
