title: Send Image from .NET Web API 2 Service to Android Retrofit
body: <p>I have an image on a server stored in a file (not db).  I want to display this image in a layout view in Android Studio.  I am using Web API2 and retrofit to exchange data.  </p>
  
  <p>Using retrofit, I know I need to send the file encapsulated in a class.  I am not aware of what type to create? (Byte array?) and how retrofit on the android side would convert this type.  I have tried to use byte[] on boths side however retrofit was not able to read the byte[] from Json.</p>
  
  <p>Would anyone be able to guide me on how I would go about transferring this jpeg image?  Thanks!</p>
