Como exibir imagem (matriz de bytes) de JSON em imageView… Factory retorna null

Eu estou lutando com esse problema dois dias já ... Estava postando antes, mas não das respostas estavam certas.

Meu problema é: estou tentando converter byte [] em imagem. O byte [] vem do JSON e está neste formato:

"4oCwUE5HDQoaCgAAAA1JSERSAAAAfwAAAFAIBgAAADBHwrdsAAAAAlwSFlzAAAAJwAAACcBKgnigJhPAAAgAElEQVR4xZPCrMK9ecWSZcOZfcOfw7c5w5vCvW / CqXp ..." vai para outras 100 linhas.

Classe para exibir as imagens:

public class PlayersListActivity extends Activity {

// URL to make request
private static String URL = "url goes here";
private static int userID;
ArrayList<HashMap<String, Object>> playersList;
ListView playerView;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.list_view);

    Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    userID = extras.getInt("id");
    initLayout();
}

private void initLayout() {

    playerView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
    playersList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, Object>>();

    playerView.setAdapter(new SimpleAdapter(PlayersListActivity.this, playersList, R.layout.activity_players_list, null, null));


    playerView.setDividerHeight(0);

}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    if (!ConnectivityStatus.isNetworkAvailable(getApplicationContext())) {
        Toast.makeText(PlayersListActivity.this, R.string.network_failed,
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } else {
        playerView.setAdapter(null);
        new PlayersLoadTask().execute();
    }

    super.onResume();
}

ProgressDialog pDialog;

class PlayersLoadTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
        pDialog = new ProgressDialog(PlayersListActivity.this);
        pDialog.setMessage("Reading data");
        pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
        pDialog.setCancelable(true);
        pDialog.show();
        playersList.clear();
    }
    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
        try {

        ArrayList<BasicNameValuePair> parameters = new ArrayList<BasicNameValuePair>();
        parameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("request", "getPlayers"));
        parameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("clubid", Integer.toString(userID))); // TODO: you'll need to change this to the Id from the user

        DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(PlayersListActivity.URL);
        httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(parameters, "UTF-8"));
        HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
        HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();

        // if this is null the web service returned an empty page
        if(httpEntity == null) // response is empty so exit out
            return null;

        String jsonString = EntityUtils.toString(httpEntity);

        // again some simple validation around the returned string
        if(jsonString != null && jsonString.length() != 0) // checking string returned from service to grab id
        {
            JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(jsonString);
            for(int i=0; i< jsonArray.length(); i++)
            {   
                HashMap<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();

                JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) jsonArray.get(i);
                int id = jsonObject.getInt("id");
                String name = jsonObject.getString("name");
                byte[] image = jsonObject.getString("image").getBytes();
                String base64 = jsonObject.getString("image");
                try {
                    BitmapFactory.Options op=new BitmapFactory.Options();
                    op.inSampleSize=8;
                    Bitmap yourSelectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(image,0,image.length);
                    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); 

                    yourSelectedImage.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, baos);
                    //this will convert image to byte[] 
                    byte[] byteArrayImage = baos.toByteArray(); 
                    // this will convert byte[] to string
                    String encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(byteArrayImage, Base64.DEFAULT);
                    if (encodedImage != null) {

                       ImageView imgView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
                       imgView.setImageBitmap(yourSelectedImage);
                    }

                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.d("Exception", e.toString());
                }
                //map.put("id", id);
                map.put("image", base64.toString());
                map.put("name", name);

                //Log.d("JSON OBJECTS:", jsonObject.toString());
                //Log.d("WHATS IN MAP:", map.toString());

                playersList.add(map);
            }

        }
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("ERROR SOMEWHERE!!!! " , e.toString());
    }
    return null;

    }

    protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
        if(playersList.size() == 0 ) {
            Toast.makeText(PlayersListActivity.this, "No players in a list" , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        } else {
            playerView.setAdapter(new PlayerListAdapter (PlayersListActivity.this, playersList, R.layout.activity_players_list, new String[] {"id", "image", "name"}, new int[] {R.id.player_list_id, R.id.image, R.id.name, }));
        }

        pDialog.dismiss();
    } 
}

}

E o LogCat:

 D/skia(3513): --- SkImageDecoder::Factory returned null
 D/skia(3513): --- SkImageDecoder::Factory returned null
 E/BitmapFactory(4399): Unable to decode stream: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /4oCwUE5HDQoaCgAAAA1JSERSAAAAfwAAAFAIBgAAADBHwqrDsAAAAAlwSFlzAAAAJwAAACcBKgnigJhPAAAgAElEQVR4xZPCrMK9ecWSZcOZfcOfw7c5w5vCvW/CqXpLV...

Não tenho ideia de porque meu bitmap retorna null. Eu tentei muitas maneiras diferentes, mas nada funciona.

É por isso que preciso de ajuda mal! Obrigado!!!
