Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeoutMillis) Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

decodeByteArray

Added in API level 1

public static Bitmap decodeByteArray (byte[] data, 
                int offset, 
                int length, 
                BitmapFactory.Options opts)

Decode an immutable bitmap from the specified byte array.

Parameters
data	byte: byte array of compressed image data
offset	int: offset into imageData for where the decoder should begin parsing.
length	int: the number of bytes, beginning at offset, to parse
opts	BitmapFactory.Options: null-ok; Options that control downsampling and whether the image should be completely decoded, or just is size returned.

Returns
Bitmap	The decoded bitmap, or null if the image data could not be decoded, or, if opts is non-null, if opts requested only the size be returned (in opts.outWidth and opts.outHeight)

Throws
IllegalArgumentException	if BitmapFactory.Options#inPreferredConfig is Bitmap.Config.HARDWARE and BitmapFactory.Options#inMutable is set, if the specified color space is not RGB, or if the specified color space's transfer function is not an ICC parametric curve

decodeByteArray

Added in API level 1

public static Bitmap decodeByteArray (byte[] data, 
                int offset, 
                int length)

Decode an immutable bitmap from the specified byte array.

Parameters
data	byte: byte array of compressed image data
offset	int: offset into imageData for where the decoder should begin parsing.
length	int: the number of bytes, beginning at offset, to parse

Returns
Bitmap	The decoded bitmap, or null if the image could not be decoded.

decodeFile

Added in API level 1

public static Bitmap decodeFile (String pathName, 
                BitmapFactory.Options opts)

Decode a file path into a bitmap. If the specified file name is null, or cannot be decoded into a bitmap, the function returns null.

Parameters
pathName	String: complete path name for the file to be decoded.
opts	BitmapFactory.Options: null-ok; Options that control downsampling and whether the image should be completely decoded, or just is size returned.

Returns
Bitmap	The decoded bitmap, or null if the image data could not be decoded, or, if opts is non-null, if opts requested only the size be returned (in opts.outWidth and opts.outHeight)

Throws
IllegalArgumentException	if BitmapFactory.Options#inPreferredConfig is Bitmap.Config.HARDWARE and BitmapFactory.Options#inMutable is set, if the specified color space is not RGB, or if the specified color space's transfer function is not an ICC parametric curve

decodeFile

Added in API level 1

public static Bitmap decodeFile (String pathName)

Decode a file path into a bitmap. If the specified file name is null, or cannot be decoded into a bitmap, the function returns null.

Parameters
pathName	String: complete path name for the file to be decoded.

Returns
Bitmap	the resulting decoded bitmap, or null if it could not be decoded.

decodeFileDescriptor

Added in API level 1

public static Bitmap decodeFileDescriptor (FileDescriptor fd)

Decode a bitmap from the file descriptor. If the bitmap cannot be decoded return null. The position within the descriptor will not be changed when this returns, so the descriptor can be used again as is.

Parameters
fd	FileDescriptor: The file descriptor containing the bitmap data to decode

Returns
Bitmap	the decoded bitmap, or null

decodeFileDescriptor

Added in API level 1

public static Bitmap decodeFileDescriptor (FileDescriptor fd, 
                Rect outPadding, 
                BitmapFactory.Options opts)

Decode a bitmap from the file descriptor. If the bitmap cannot be decoded return null. The position within the descriptor will not be changed when this returns, so the descriptor can be used again as-is.

Parameters
fd	FileDescriptor: The file descriptor containing the bitmap data to decode
outPadding	Rect: If not null, return the padding rect for the bitmap if it exists, otherwise set padding to [-1,-1,-1,-1]. If no bitmap is returned (null) then padding is unchanged.
opts	BitmapFactory.Options: null-ok; Options that control downsampling and whether the image should be completely decoded, or just its size returned.

Returns
Bitmap	the decoded bitmap, or null

Throws
IllegalArgumentException	if BitmapFactory.Options#inPreferredConfig is Bitmap.Config.HARDWARE and BitmapFactory.Options#inMutable is set, if the specified color space is not RGB, or if the specified color space's transfer function is not an ICC parametric curve

decodeResource

public static Bitmap decodeResource (Resources res, 
                int id)

Synonym for decodeResource(android.content.res.Resources, int, android.graphics.BitmapFactory.Options) with null Options.

Parameters
res	Resources: The resources object containing the image data
id	int: The resource id of the image data

Returns
Bitmap	The decoded bitmap, or null if the image could not be decoded.

                InputStream is, 
                Rect pad, 
                BitmapFactory.Options opts)

Decode a new Bitmap from an InputStream. This InputStream was obtained from resources, which we pass to be able to scale the bitmap accordingly.

Parameters
res	Resources: This value may be null.
value	TypedValue: This value may be null.
is	InputStream: This value may be null.
pad	Rect: This value may be null.
opts	BitmapFactory.Options: This value may be null.

decodeStream

Added in API level 1

public static Bitmap decodeStream (InputStream is)

Decode an input stream into a bitmap. If the input stream is null, or cannot be used to decode a bitmap, the function returns null. The stream's position will be where ever it was after the encoded data was read.

Parameters
is	InputStream: The input stream that holds the raw data to be decoded into a bitmap.

Returns
Bitmap	The decoded bitmap, or null if the image data could not be decoded.

decodeStream

Added in API level 1

public static Bitmap decodeStream (InputStream is, 
                Rect outPadding, 
                BitmapFactory.Options opts)

Decode an input stream into a bitmap. If the input stream is null, or cannot be used to decode a bitmap, the function returns null. The stream's position will be where ever it was after the encoded data was read.

Parameters
is	InputStream: The input stream that holds the raw data to be decoded into a bitmap. This value may be null.
outPadding	Rect: If not null, return the padding rect for the bitmap if it exists, otherwise set padding to [-1,-1,-1,-1]. If no bitmap is returned (null) then padding is unchanged.
opts	BitmapFactory.Options: null-ok; Options that control downsampling and whether the image should be completely decoded, or just is size returned.

Returns
Bitmap	The decoded bitmap, or null if the image data could not be decoded, or, if opts is non-null, if opts requested only the size be returned (in opts.outWidth and opts.outHeight)

Throws

IllegalArgumentException

if BitmapFactory.Options#inPreferredConfig is Bitmap.Config.HARDWARE and BitmapFactory.Options#inMutable is set, if the specified color space is not RGB, or if the specified color space's transfer function is not an ICC parametric curve Prior to Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT, if is.markSupported() returns true, is.mark(1024) would be called. As of Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT, this is no longer the case.
