decodeStream zwraca wartość null

Próbuję adoptowaćzmiana rozmiaru bitmapy tutorial - jedyna różnica polega na tym, że używam decodeStream zamiast decodeResource. To dziwne, ale decodeStream, bez żadnych manipulacji, daje mi bitmapę, ale kiedy przechodzę przez decodeSampledBitmapFromStream, z jakiegoś powodu zwraca null. Jak to naprawić?

Oto kod, którego używam:

protected Handler _onPromoBlocksLoad = new Handler() {
        @Override
        public void dispatchMessage(Message msg) {
            PromoBlocksContainer c = (PromoBlocksContainer) _promoBlocksFactory.getResponse();
            HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest(c.getPromoBlocks().get(0).getSmallThumbnail());

            BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
            options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
            InputStream stream;
            ImageView v = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.banner);
            try {
                stream = request.getStream();

                //v.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeStream(stream)); Works fine
                Bitmap img = decodeSampledBitmapFromStream(stream, v.getWidth(), v.getHeight());
                v.setImageBitmap(img);
            } catch (IOException e1) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    };

    public static int calculateInSampleSize(BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
        final int height = options.outHeight;
        final int width = options.outWidth;
        int inSampleSize = 1;

        if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {
            if (width > height) {
                inSampleSize = Math.round((float)height / (float)reqHeight);
            } else {
                inSampleSize = Math.round((float)width / (float)reqWidth);
            }
        }
        return inSampleSize;
    }

    public static Bitmap decodeSampledBitmapFromStream(InputStream res, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
        BitmapFactory.decodeStream(res, null, options);
        options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, reqWidth, reqHeight);
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
        Bitmap img =  BitmapFactory.decodeStream(res, null, options); // Gives  null 
        return img;
    }
