BitmapFactory returning null

I am trying to make an app where I need to store and retrieve a image in and from a SQLite Database. I am getting the program to store the image as a byte array using BLOB and I am also able to retrieve the byte array, but while decoding the array into a bitmap, BitmapFactory returns null. Please help. Here is the code I am using to decode the array.

Cursor c=db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM student WHERE name='"+"1"+"'", null);
                if(c.moveToFirst())
                {
                    byte[] outImage=c.getBlob(1);
                    Log.d("The out image is", String.valueOf(outImage));
                    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(outImage , 0, outImage .length);
                    iv.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
                }

The logcat reads something like this
