Should i resize the bitmap before adding to a ImageView or let the ImageView resize the Bitmap?


i have a simple question: Should i resize a bigger bitmap before adding to a ImageView or let the ImageView resize the Bitmap? What's the right way, regarding performance?



Thanks

  1. Consider using scale for ImageView, and don't bother about resizing. You can scale an image like this, for example:

    image.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
    image.setMaxHeight(50);
    image.setMaxWidth(50);
    image.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_INSIDE);

  2. The bigger the image, the bigger the size, I wouldn't think performance would really be affected but keep things efficient.

    You could also place different size images in the different folders for different resolutions:

    res/drawable-mdpi/my_icon.png // bitmap for medium density
    res/drawable-hdpi/my_icon.png // bitmap for high density
    res/drawable-xhdpi/my_icon.png // bitmap for extra high density


    Supporting different size screens

  3. we can resize the existing bitmap to any size using bitmap.createScaledBitmap use the below code.

    bmp=Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmp,destBitmapWith, destBitmapHeight,true);

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
