Failed to downsize?

Question

I can't display the image from inbox to another view activity: in the video, it's ViewImageActivity. I checked by debugging and log to turn out that the Uri variable right before Picasso method to display image from web gets correct URI. And also, I downloaded the image from Parse database and it was 2560*1920, which seems why it is not displayed(somthing about bitmap being too large).
I think i'm doing downsizing as the video shows, but there must be some lack of code in this following part.
This is the part where the file I try to send is supposed to be downsized.
```byte[] fileBytes = FileHelper.getByteArrayFromFile(this, mMediaUri);
    if (fileBytes == null) {
        return null;
    }
    else {
        if (mFileType.equals(ParseConstants.TYPE_IMAGE)) {
            fileBytes = FileHelper.reduceImageForUpload(fileBytes);
        }
        String fileName = FileHelper.getFileName(this, mMediaUri, mFileType);
        ParseFile file = new ParseFile(fileName, fileBytes);
        message.put(ParseConstants.KEY_FILE, file);
```

I realized that I, without awareness, deleted "java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream" import within ImageResizer.java by "organize imports" and I thought it was the cause, even though this import is not used within this file, which is why I could delete. But it turned out it does not have anything to do with it. 
As a result, the problem disappeared all of a sudden. 
Following may not contribute to your experience or this forum, but I'll explain just so you know. 
I got the thought deleting this unused import was somehow the problem, because I could successfully store the image with the Brand-new Ribbit app that I built watching videos again very carefully and the only difference between the old one and new one seemed to be this import. But now, when I compared the difference between "with the unused import" and "without the import" in order to conclude that's the bad boy, in both case I succeeded. What surprised me was that I succeeded even with the old app, which I did not change a thing after I had the problem. The problem banished into the thin air like "Time solved the problem", which is never supposed to happen  with this I-do-precisely-whatever-you-order-to-do computer thing.

I just came across your comment in another post (https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/error-loading-picasso-image). I'm copying my answer here:
I think you need to resize the image even further for certain devices. Each device has a size limit for images that can be viewed in an ImageView. In FileHelper.java, try a smaller size for this variable:
public static final int SHORT_SIDE_TARGET = 1280;
Maybe start testing at 1024?
