I'm getting a null pointer exception when trying to compress a bitmap so I can send it to a ByteArrayOutputStream to get a byte array. I need this byte array so I can upload the image to my Parse database as a ParseFile. The log error is shown below.

You're getting a null pointer exception because bitmap
is null. Replace the line that goes
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.id.imgPreview);
with this
bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) imgPreview.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
