BitmapFactory - (decode Returned False) For Internal Image Files Extracted From Zip

Need to display images downloaded and extracted from a zip into the "/files" directory of the app. the images are getting in there properly as far as i can tell - i am able to extract them from the emulator and view/open them from my desktop. but every attempt, every variation of code i have found and tried so far has failed (Tag: skia / Text: --- decoder->decode returned false).

My latest construct, which does work for image files downloaded separately and uncompressed :

Code:

String imgFile = new File(getFilesDir(), "myImage.jpg").getAbsolutePath();
ImageView myImageView = new ImageView(this);
Bitmap bm = null;
try{
bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile);
myImageView.setImageBitmap(bm);
} finally{
mainLayout.addView(myImageView);
}

And here is the construct i am using to handle the zip extraction. I assume this is where the problem lies but i am clueless as to what i could possibly do differently and to what effect:

Code:
ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(fis);
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(zis, 8192);
ZipEntry ze;
while ((ze = zis.getNextEntry()) != null){
File dest_file = new File(getFilesDir(), ze.getName());

[code]....
