Retrofit response body not parsing properly in android app

Question

I am receiving this response in postman in Android, my response.body() is not null but still, there is no image showing in the image view.

if (response.isSuccessful()) {
    if (response.body()!=null) { 
        Glide.with(getApplicationContext()).load(response.body()).into(iv_userimage_header);
        Toast.makeText(SubtitutesDashboard.this, "Image Set", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

This is the response of postman

Your way is wrong. Because, you can't use `response.body()` method. You can use `response.body().byteStream()` method. Try this. — Mustafa Yanık, Feb 25 '20 at 13:21
@MustafaYanık Glide.with(getApplicationContext()).load(response.body().byteStream()).into(iv_userimage_header); Still no image is set — Taimoor Bhatti, Feb 25 '20 at 13:25
Ok. You can convert bytestream to Glide supported formats(uri, byte array etc.). Could you try this? — Mustafa Yanık, Feb 25 '20 at 13:32
@MustafaYanık can you help a little more by telling me how? — Taimoor Bhatti, Feb 25 '20 at 13:33
Is there a reason why you can't use glide to load the url directly? — Ivan Wooll, Feb 25 '20 at 13:53
@IvanWooll I am not recieving url of image response is just a picture. You can see picture in question — Taimoor Bhatti, Feb 25 '20 at 13:54
So it is not about load image or Glide. You should focus to your response for this issue. — Murat Çakır, Feb 25 '20 at 14:56

Try this out, make sure you get the callback for response using okhttp3.ResponseBody. So something like

...
call.enqueue(new Callback<ResponseBody>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call<ResponseBody> call, Response<ResponseBody> response) { 
...

And then get your image as a bitmap using

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(response.body().byteStream());

You can set this bitmap directly to you ImageView

iv_userimage_header.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

Or using Glide with .asBitmap
