Using nl.siegmann.epublib I have taken a resource from a book which I try to actually display on the screen.

The api docs can be found [here](http://www.siegmann.nl/static/epublib/apidocs/)

The code I used are:
Book.getCoverImage() and Book.getCoverPage().

Actual Code looks more like this:

```
Book book = null;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        ImageView iv = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image_test);

        try{
            Resource res = bookLoaded().getCoverImage();
            Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(res.getInputStream());
            iv.setImageBitmap(bm);
        }catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
               }
public Book bookLoaded(){
        AssetManager am = getAssets();
        try{
            InputStream is = am.open("Ada Madison - [Sophie Knowles Mystery 01] - The Square Root of Murder (epub).epub");
            book = (new EpubReader()).readEpub(is);
        }catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return book;
    }

```

Now the problem I occurred was res was always null using .getCoverImage(). and I had an exception error when I tried .getCoverPage();

My question is "Is using BitmapFactory the proper way to do this?, am I doing something wrong?, or am I missing something?".

To continue of what I researched so far:
You can get the .epub path. using book.GetHref(). However, the question is more of how can an .epub file(Similar to a zip file) get data inside of it. Then now I have to look for an extractor, and then I can find the image file.

```
try{
            byte[] newData = bookLoaded().getCoverImage().getData();
            Bitmap bmp =BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(newData, 0, newData.length);
            image_view.setImageBitmap(bmp);
        }catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
            e.printStackTrace();
         }

```

Somehow bookLoaded().getCoverImage().getData(); caused an exception
