post bmp declaration... –  Gopal Rao Jun 3 at 6:17
    
Store the bitmap on your device and then add the path to the list. Why do you want bitmap in a list? –  Raghunandan Jun 3 at 6:21
    
@GopalRao sorry its just a mistake about the bitmap array declaration –  Дмитрий Иванович Менделеев Jun 3 at 6:26
    
I figured. The error message is interesting, though. What was the mistake you were making? –  drewmoore Jun 3 at 6:28
    
@drewmore This error is shown if bmp is an array of something other than Bitmap –  Apoorv Jun 3 at 6:38

You can add every single item one by one or you can consider using Collections.addAll.

Hope this can help you.

ArrayList<Bitmap> bmp_images = new ArrayList<Bitmap>();
for(int i = 0; i < bmp.length ;i++ ){
     bmp_images.add(bmp[i]);
}

so whats wrong with ArrayList<Bitmap> bmp_images = new ArrayList<Bitmap>(Arrays.asList(bmp));??? –  Gopal Rao Jun 3 at 6:21
    
-1 Is this really necessary? The code OP posted is good Java. Is there a concrete reason it can't work on Android? If so, that should be part of your answer. If not, I would never recommend using a loop where there is a library function available, and neither should you. –  drewmoore Jun 3 at 6:21
    
@GopalRaonothing wrong with it thankyou –  Дмитрий Иванович Менделеев Jun 3 at 6:27

You can simply use (assuming bmp is Bitmap[])

List<Bitmap> bmp_images = Arrays.asList(bmp);

And there is no need for creating a copy of this collection (depending on your needs)

But it seems you have some problems with declarations of bmp array, so inspect that part.
