Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException

[Gjoshi3107]

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean android.graphics.Bitmap.compress(android.graphics.Bitmap$CompressFormat, int, java.io.OutputStream)' on a null object reference com.emekalites.react.compress.image.ImageUtil.compressImage

Device Brand: LGE Model: LG K10 LTE Orientation: Portrait RAM free: 179.56 MB Disk free: 6.02 GB Operating System Version: 6.0 Orientation: Portrait Rooted: No

Other devices are Tecno Spark, Tecno Camen I, Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy J2, Xiomi Redmi 5. Mostly Seen in Android 5, Android 6, and Android 7.

The error is seen multiple times in the above device. It is coming in the compressImage method present in the ImageUtil.java file. When the decodeSampledBitmapFromFile returns a null from the catch section to the compressImage method, the decodeSampledBitmapFromFile(imageFile, reqWidth, reqHeight).compress(compressFormat, quality, fileOutputStream); ends up as null.compress(compressFormat, quality, fileOutputStream);

Please Help. Thanks.
