Android Image Loading

I'm having issues with the way that I'm loading my images in Android, this is the way I'm doing it just now.


try{
AssetManager assetManager = context.getAssets();
inputStream = assetManager.open("blackcat.png");
cat = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
inputStream.close();

inputStream = assetManager.open("Jellyfish1.png");
jellyfish = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
inputStream.close();

inputStream = assetManager.open("/Dog.png");
bigdog = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
inputStream.close();

inputStream = assetManager.open("exit.png");
exitTile = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
inputStream.close();

inputStream = assetManager.open("kitchen.png");
background = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
inputStream.close();

inputStream = assetManager.open("endscreen.png");
gameover = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
inputStream.close();
}catch(IOException ex){}

Any help would be massively appreciated as I'm pretty stuck for what to do now.
