Inherited methods

Constants

DENSITY_NONE

Added in API level 4
public static final int DENSITY_NONE

Indicates that the bitmap was created for an unknown pixel density.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

Fields

CREATOR

Added in API level 1
public static final Creator<Bitmap> CREATOR

Public methods

asShared

Added in API level 31
public Bitmap asShared ()

Return an immutable bitmap backed by shared memory which can be efficiently passed between processes via Parcelable.

If this bitmap already meets these criteria it will return itself.

Returns
Bitmap This value cannot be null.

compress

Added in API level 1
public boolean compress (Bitmap.CompressFormat format, 
                int quality, 
                OutputStream stream)

Write a compressed version of the bitmap to the specified outputstream. If this returns true, the bitmap can be reconstructed by passing a corresponding inputstream to BitmapFactory.decodeStream(). Note: not all Formats support all bitmap configs directly, so it is possible that the returned bitmap from BitmapFactory could be in a different bitdepth, and/or may have lost per-pixel alpha (e.g. JPEG only supports opaque pixels).
This method may take several seconds to complete, so it should only be called from a worker thread.

Parameters
format Bitmap.CompressFormat: The format of the compressed image This value cannot be null.

quality int: Hint to the compressor, 0-100. The value is interpreted differently depending on the CompressFormat.

stream OutputStream: The outputstream to write the compressed data. This value cannot be null.

Returns
boolean true if successfully compressed to the specified stream.

copy

Added in API level 1
public Bitmap copy (Bitmap.Config config, 
                boolean isMutable)

Tries to make a new bitmap based on the dimensions of this bitmap, setting the new bitmap's config to the one specified, and then copying this bitmap's pixels into the new bitmap. If the conversion is not supported, or the allocator fails, then this returns NULL. The returned bitmap has the same density and color space as the original, except in the following cases. When copying to Config#ALPHA_8, the color space is dropped. When copying to or from Config#RGBA_F16, EXTENDED or non-EXTENDED variants may be adjusted as appropriate.

Parameters
config Bitmap.Config: The desired config for the resulting bitmap This value cannot be null.

isMutable boolean: True if the resulting bitmap should be mutable (i.e. its pixels can be modified)

Returns
Bitmap the new bitmap, or null if the copy could not be made.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if config is Config#HARDWARE and isMutable is true

copyPixelsFromBuffer

Added in API level 3
public void copyPixelsFromBuffer (Buffer src)

Copy the pixels from the buffer, beginning at the current position, overwriting the bitmap's pixels. The data in the buffer is not changed in any way (unlike setPixels(), which converts from unpremultipled 32bit to whatever the bitmap's native format is. The pixels in the source buffer are assumed to be in the bitmap's color space.

After this method returns, the current position of the buffer is updated: the position is incremented by the number of elements read from the buffer. If you need to read the bitmap from the buffer again you must first rewind the buffer.

Parameters
src Buffer: This value cannot be null.

Throws
IllegalStateException if the bitmap's config is Config#HARDWARE

copyPixelsToBuffer

Added in API level 1
public void copyPixelsToBuffer (Buffer dst)

Copy the bitmap's pixels into the specified buffer (allocated by the caller). An exception is thrown if the buffer is not large enough to hold all of the pixels (taking into account the number of bytes per pixel) or if the Buffer subclass is not one of the support types (ByteBuffer, ShortBuffer, IntBuffer).

The content of the bitmap is copied into the buffer as-is. This means that if this bitmap stores its pixels pre-multiplied (see isPremultiplied(), the values in the buffer will also be pre-multiplied. The pixels remain in the color space of the bitmap.

After this method returns, the current position of the buffer is updated: the position is incremented by the number of elements written in the buffer.

Parameters
dst Buffer: This value cannot be null.

Throws
IllegalStateException if the bitmap's config is Config#HARDWARE

createBitmap

                Matrix m, 
                boolean filter)

Returns a bitmap from subset of the source bitmap, transformed by the optional matrix. The new bitmap may be the same object as source, or a copy may have been made. It is initialized with the same density and color space as the original bitmap.

int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

eraseColor

Added in API level 1
public void eraseColor (int c)

Fills the bitmap's pixels with the specified Color.

Parameters
c int

Throws
IllegalStateException if the bitmap is not mutable.

eraseColor

Added in API level 29
public void eraseColor (long color)

Fills the bitmap's pixels with the specified ColorLong.

Parameters
color long: The color to fill as packed by the Color class.

Throws
IllegalStateException if the bitmap is not mutable.
IllegalArgumentException if the color space encoded in the ColorLong is invalid or unknown.

extractAlpha

Added in API level 1
public Bitmap extractAlpha ()

Returns a new bitmap that captures the alpha values of the original. This may be drawn with Canvas.drawBitmap(), where the color(s) will be taken from the paint that is passed to the draw call.

Returns
Bitmap new bitmap containing the alpha channel of the original bitmap. This value cannot be null.

extractAlpha

Added in API level 1
public Bitmap extractAlpha (Paint paint, 
                int[] offsetXY)

Returns a new bitmap that captures the alpha values of the original. These values may be affected by the optional Paint parameter, which can contain its own alpha, and may also contain a MaskFilter which could change the actual dimensions of the resulting bitmap (e.g. a blur maskfilter might enlarge the resulting bitmap). If offsetXY is not null, it returns the amount to offset the returned bitmap so that it will logically align with the original. For example, if the paint contains a blur of radius 2, then offsetXY[] would contains -2, -2, so that drawing the alpha bitmap offset by (-2, -2) and then drawing the original would result in the blur visually aligning with the original.

The initial density of the returned bitmap is the same as the original's.

Parameters
paint Paint: Optional paint used to modify the alpha values in the resulting bitmap. Pass null for default behavior.

offsetXY int: Optional array that returns the X (index 0) and Y (index 1) offset needed to position the returned bitmap so that it visually lines up with the original.

Returns
Bitmap new bitmap containing the (optionally modified by paint) alpha channel of the original bitmap. This may be drawn with Canvas.drawBitmap(), where the color(s) will be taken from the paint that is passed to the draw call.

getAllocationByteCount

Added in API level 19
public int getAllocationByteCount ()

Returns the size of the allocated memory used to store this bitmap's pixels.

This can be larger than the result of getByteCount() if a bitmap is reused to decode other bitmaps of smaller size, or by manual reconfiguration. See reconfigure(int, int, android.graphics.Bitmap.Config), setWidth(int), setHeight(int), setConfig(android.graphics.Bitmap.Config), and BitmapFactory.Options.inBitmap. If a bitmap is not modified in this way, this value will be the same as that returned by getByteCount().

This value will not change over the lifetime of a Bitmap.

Returns
int

getByteCount

Added in API level 12
public int getByteCount ()

Returns the minimum number of bytes that can be used to store this bitmap's pixels.

As of Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT, the result of this method can no longer be used to determine memory usage of a bitmap. See getAllocationByteCount().

Returns
int

getColor

Added in API level 29
public Color getColor (int x, 
                int y)

Returns the Color at the specified location. Throws an exception if x or y are out of bounds (negative or >= to the width or height respectively).

Parameters
x int: The x coordinate (0...width-1) of the pixel to return

y int: The y coordinate (0...height-1) of the pixel to return

Returns
Color The Color at the specified coordinate This value cannot be null.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if x, y exceed the bitmap's bounds
IllegalStateException if the bitmap's config is Config#HARDWARE

getColorSpace

Added in API level 26
public ColorSpace getColorSpace ()

Returns the color space associated with this bitmap. If the color space is unknown, this method returns null.

Returns
ColorSpace

getConfig

Added in API level 1
public Bitmap.Config getConfig ()

If the bitmap's internal config is in one of the public formats, return that config, otherwise return null.

Returns
Bitmap.Config

getDensity

Added in API level 4
public int getDensity ()

Returns the density for this bitmap.

The default density is the same density as the current display, unless the current application does not support different screen densities in which case it is DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT. Note that compatibility mode is determined by the application that was initially loaded into a process -- applications that share the same process should all have the same compatibility, or ensure they explicitly set the density of their bitmaps appropriately.

Returns
int A scaling factor of the default density or DENSITY_NONE if the scaling factor is unknown.

getGainmap

Added in API level 34
public Gainmap getGainmap ()

Returns the gainmap or null if the bitmap doesn't contain a gainmap

Returns
Gainmap

getGenerationId

Added in API level 12
public int getGenerationId ()

Returns the generation ID of this bitmap. The generation ID changes whenever the bitmap is modified. This can be used as an efficient way to check if a bitmap has changed.

Returns
int The current generation ID for this bitmap.

getHardwareBuffer

Added in API level 31
public HardwareBuffer getHardwareBuffer ()

Returns
HardwareBuffer HardwareBuffer which is internally used by hardware bitmap Note: the HardwareBuffer does *not* have an associated ColorSpace. To render this object the same as its rendered with this Bitmap, you should also call getColorSpace().

Must not be modified while a wrapped Bitmap is accessing it. Doing so will result in undefined behavior.

This value cannot be null.

Throws
IllegalStateException if the bitmap's config is not Config#HARDWARE or if the bitmap has been recycled.

getHeight

Added in API level 1
public int getHeight ()

Returns the bitmap's height

Returns
int

getNinePatchChunk

Added in API level 1
public byte[] getNinePatchChunk ()

Returns an optional array of private data, used by the UI system for some bitmaps. Not intended to be called by applications.

Returns
byte[] This value may be null.

getPixel

Added in API level 1
public int getPixel (int x, 
                int y)

Returns the Color at the specified location. Throws an exception if x or y are out of bounds (negative or >= to the width or height respectively). The returned color is a non-premultiplied ARGB value in the sRGB color space.

Parameters
x int: The x coordinate (0...width-1) of the pixel to return

y int: The y coordinate (0...height-1) of the pixel to return

Returns
int The argb Color at the specified coordinate

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if x, y exceed the bitmap's bounds
IllegalStateException if the bitmap's config is Config#HARDWARE

getPixels

Added in API level 1
public void getPixels (int[] pixels, 
                int offset, 
                int stride, 
                int x, 
                int y, 
                int width, 
                int height)

Returns in pixels[] a copy of the data in the bitmap. Each value is a packed int representing a Color. The stride parameter allows the caller to allow for gaps in the returned pixels array between rows. For normal packed results, just pass width for the stride value. The returned colors are non-premultiplied ARGB values in the sRGB color space.

Parameters
pixels int: The array to receive the bitmap's colors This value cannot be null.

offset int: The first index to write into pixels[]

stride int: The number of entries in pixels[] to skip between rows (must be >= bitmap's width). Can be negative.

x int: The x coordinate of the first pixel to read from the bitmap

y int: The y coordinate of the first pixel to read from the bitmap

width int: The number of pixels to read from each row

height int: The number of rows to read

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if x, y, width, height exceed the bounds of the bitmap, or if abs(stride) < width.
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the pixels array is too small to receive the specified number of pixels.
IllegalStateException if the bitmap's config is Config#HARDWARE

getRowBytes

Added in API level 1
public int getRowBytes ()

Return the number of bytes between rows in the bitmap's pixels. Note that this refers to the pixels as stored natively by the bitmap. If you call getPixels() or setPixels(), then the pixels are uniformly treated as 32bit values, packed according to the Color class.

As of Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT, this method should not be used to calculate the memory usage of the bitmap. Instead, see getAllocationByteCount().

Returns
int number of bytes between rows of the native bitmap pixels.

getScaledHeight

Added in API level 4
public int getScaledHeight (int targetDensity)

Convenience method that returns the height of this bitmap divided by the density scale factor. Returns the bitmap's height multiplied by the ratio of the target density to the bitmap's source density

Parameters
targetDensity int: The density of the target canvas of the bitmap.

Returns
int The scaled height of this bitmap, according to the density scale factor.

getScaledHeight

Added in API level 4
public int getScaledHeight (Canvas canvas)

Convenience for calling getScaledHeight(int) with the target density of the given Canvas.

Parameters
canvas Canvas: This value cannot be null.

Returns
int

getScaledHeight

Added in API level 4
public int getScaledHeight (DisplayMetrics metrics)

Convenience for calling getScaledHeight(int) with the target density of the given DisplayMetrics.

Parameters
metrics DisplayMetrics: This value cannot be null.

Returns
int

getScaledWidth

Added in API level 4
public int getScaledWidth (int targetDensity)

Convenience method that returns the width of this bitmap divided by the density scale factor. Returns the bitmap's width multiplied by the ratio of the target density to the bitmap's source density

Parameters
targetDensity int: The density of the target canvas of the bitmap.

Returns
int The scaled width of this bitmap, according to the density scale factor.

getScaledWidth

Added in API level 4
public int getScaledWidth (DisplayMetrics metrics)

Convenience for calling getScaledWidth(int) with the target density of the given DisplayMetrics.

Parameters
metrics DisplayMetrics: This value cannot be null.

Returns
int

getScaledWidth

Added in API level 4
public int getScaledWidth (Canvas canvas)

Convenience for calling getScaledWidth(int) with the target density of the given Canvas.

Parameters
canvas Canvas: This value cannot be null.

Returns
int

getWidth

Added in API level 1
public int getWidth ()

Returns the bitmap's width

Returns
int

hasAlpha

Added in API level 1
public boolean hasAlpha ()

Returns true if the bitmap's config supports per-pixel alpha, and if the pixels may contain non-opaque alpha values. For some configs, this is always false (e.g. RGB_565), since they do not support per-pixel alpha. However, for configs that do, the bitmap may be flagged to be known that all of its pixels are opaque. In this case hasAlpha() will also return false. If a config such as ARGB_8888 is not so flagged, it will return true by default.

Returns
boolean

hasGainmap

Added in API level 34
public boolean hasGainmap ()

Returns whether or not this Bitmap contains a Gainmap.

Returns
boolean

hasMipMap

Added in API level 17
public boolean hasMipMap ()

Indicates whether the renderer responsible for drawing this bitmap should attempt to use mipmaps when this bitmap is drawn scaled down. If you know that you are going to draw this bitmap at less than 50% of its original size, you may be able to obtain a higher quality This property is only a suggestion that can be ignored by the renderer. It is not guaranteed to have any effect.

Returns
boolean true if the renderer should attempt to use mipmaps, false otherwise

isMutable

Added in API level 1
public boolean isMutable ()

Returns true if the bitmap is marked as mutable (i.e. can be drawn into)

Returns
boolean

isPremultiplied

Added in API level 17
public boolean isPremultiplied ()

Indicates whether pixels stored in this bitmaps are stored pre-multiplied. When a pixel is pre-multiplied, the RGB components have been multiplied by the alpha component. For instance, if the original color is a 50% translucent red (128, 255, 0, 0), the pre-multiplied form is (128, 128, 0, 0).

This method always returns false if getConfig() is Bitmap.Config#RGB_565.

The return value is undefined if getConfig() is Bitmap.Config#ALPHA_8.

This method only returns true if hasAlpha() returns true. A bitmap with no alpha channel can be used both as a pre-multiplied and as a non pre-multiplied bitmap.

Only pre-multiplied bitmaps may be drawn by the view system or Canvas. If a non-pre-multiplied bitmap with an alpha channel is drawn to a Canvas, a RuntimeException will be thrown.

Returns
boolean true if the underlying pixels have been pre-multiplied, false otherwise

isRecycled

Added in API level 1
public boolean isRecycled ()

Returns true if this bitmap has been recycled. If so, then it is an error to try to access its pixels, and the bitmap will not draw.

Returns
boolean true if the bitmap has been recycled

prepareToDraw

Added in API level 4
public void prepareToDraw ()

Builds caches associated with the bitmap that are used for drawing it.

Starting in Build.VERSION_CODES.N, this call initiates an asynchronous upload to the GPU on RenderThread, if the Bitmap is not already uploaded. With Hardware Acceleration, Bitmaps must be uploaded to the GPU in order to be rendered. This is done by default the first time a Bitmap is drawn, but the process can take several milliseconds, depending on the size of the Bitmap. Each time a Bitmap is modified and drawn again, it must be re-uploaded.

Calling this method in advance can save time in the first frame it's used. For example, it is recommended to call this on an image decoding worker thread when a decoded Bitmap is about to be displayed. It is recommended to make any pre-draw modifications to the Bitmap before calling this method, so the cached, uploaded copy may be reused without re-uploading.

In Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT and below, for purgeable bitmaps, this call would attempt to ensure that the pixels have been decoded.

reconfigure

Added in API level 19
public void reconfigure (int width, 
                int height, 
                Bitmap.Config config)

Modifies the bitmap to have a specified width, height, and Config, without affecting the underlying allocation backing the bitmap. Bitmap pixel data is not re-initialized for the new configuration.

This method can be used to avoid allocating a new bitmap, instead reusing an existing bitmap's allocation for a new configuration of equal or lesser size. If the Bitmap's allocation isn't large enough to support the new configuration, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown and the bitmap will not be modified.

The result of getByteCount() will reflect the new configuration, while getAllocationByteCount() will reflect that of the initial configuration.

Note: This may change this result of hasAlpha(). When converting to 565, the new bitmap will always be considered opaque. When converting from 565, the new bitmap will be considered non-opaque, and will respect the value set by setPremultiplied().

WARNING: This method should NOT be called on a bitmap currently in use by the view system, Canvas, or the AndroidBitmap NDK API. It does not make guarantees about how the underlying pixel buffer is remapped to the new config, just that the allocation is reused. Additionally, the view system does not account for bitmap properties being modifying during use, e.g. while attached to drawables.

In order to safely ensure that a Bitmap is no longer in use by the View system it is necessary to wait for a draw pass to occur after invalidate()'ing any view that had previously drawn the Bitmap in the last draw pass due to hardware acceleration's caching of draw commands. As an example, here is how this can be done for an ImageView:

      ImageView myImageView = ...;
      final Bitmap myBitmap = ...;
      myImageView.setImageDrawable(null);
      myImageView.post(new Runnable() {
          public void run() {
              // myBitmap is now no longer in use by the ImageView
              // and can be safely reconfigured.
              myBitmap.reconfigure(...);
          }
      });
 

Parameters
width int

height int

config Bitmap.Config: This value cannot be null.

recycle

Added in API level 1
public void recycle ()

Free the native object associated with this bitmap, and clear the reference to the pixel data. This will not free the pixel data synchronously; it simply allows it to be garbage collected if there are no other references. The bitmap is marked as "dead", meaning it will throw an exception if getPixels() or setPixels() is called, and will draw nothing. This operation cannot be reversed, so it should only be called if you are sure there are no further uses for the bitmap. This is an advanced call, and normally need not be called, since the normal GC process will free up this memory when there are no more references to this bitmap.

sameAs

Added in API level 12
public boolean sameAs (Bitmap other)

Given another bitmap, return true if it has the same dimensions, config, and pixel data as this bitmap. If any of those differ, return false. If other is null, return false.
This method may take several seconds to complete, so it should only be called from a worker thread.

Parameters
other Bitmap: This value may be null.

Returns
boolean

setColorSpace

Added in API level 29
public void setColorSpace (ColorSpace colorSpace)

Modifies the bitmap to have the specified ColorSpace, without affecting the underlying allocation backing the bitmap.

This affects how the framework will interpret the color at each pixel. A bitmap with Config#ALPHA_8 never has a color space, since a color space does not affect the alpha channel. Other Configs must always have a non-null ColorSpace.

Parameters
colorSpace ColorSpace: to assign to the bitmap This value cannot be null.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException If the specified color space is null, not RGB, or whose components min/max values reduce the numerical range compared to the previously assigned color space. Prior to Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE, IllegalArgumentException will also be thrown if the specified color space has a transfer function that is not an ICC parametric curve. Starting from Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE, the color spaces with non ICC parametric curve transfer function are allowed. E.g., BT2020_HLG.
IllegalArgumentException If the Config (returned by getConfig()) is Config#ALPHA_8.

setConfig

Added in API level 19
public void setConfig (Bitmap.Config config)

Convenience method for calling reconfigure(int, int, android.graphics.Bitmap.Config) with the current height and width.

WARNING: this method should not be used on bitmaps currently used by the view system, see reconfigure(int, int, android.graphics.Bitmap.Config) for more details.

Parameters
config Bitmap.Config: This value cannot be null.

setDensity

Added in API level 4
public void setDensity (int density)

Specifies the density for this bitmap. When the bitmap is drawn to a Canvas that also has a density, it will be scaled appropriately.

Parameters
density int: The density scaling factor to use with this bitmap or DENSITY_NONE if the density is unknown.

setGainmap

Added in API level 34
public void setGainmap (Gainmap gainmap)

Sets a gainmap on this bitmap, or removes the gainmap if null

Parameters
gainmap Gainmap: This value may be null.

setHasAlpha

Added in API level 12
public void setHasAlpha (boolean hasAlpha)

Tell the bitmap if all of the pixels are known to be opaque (false) or if some of the pixels may contain non-opaque alpha values (true). Note, for some configs (e.g. RGB_565) this call is ignored, since it does not support per-pixel alpha values. This is meant as a drawing hint, as in some cases a bitmap that is known to be opaque can take a faster drawing case than one that may have non-opaque per-pixel alpha values.

Parameters
hasAlpha boolean

setHasMipMap

Added in API level 17
public void setHasMipMap (boolean hasMipMap)

Set a hint for the renderer responsible for drawing this bitmap indicating that it should attempt to use mipmaps when this bitmap is drawn scaled down. If you know that you are going to draw this bitmap at less than 50% of its original size, you may be able to obtain a higher quality by turning this property on. Note that if the renderer respects this hint it might have to allocate extra memory to hold the mipmap levels for this bitmap. This property is only a suggestion that can be ignored by the renderer. It is not guaranteed to have any effect.

Parameters
hasMipMap boolean: indicates whether the renderer should attempt to use mipmaps

See also:

setHeight

Added in API level 19
public void setHeight (int height)

Convenience method for calling reconfigure(int, int, android.graphics.Bitmap.Config) with the current width and config.

WARNING: this method should not be used on bitmaps currently used by the view system, see reconfigure(int, int, android.graphics.Bitmap.Config) for more details.

Parameters
height int

setPixel

Added in API level 1
public void setPixel (int x, 
                int y, 
                int color)

Write the specified Color into the bitmap (assuming it is mutable) at the x,y coordinate. The color must be a non-premultiplied ARGB value in the sRGB color space.

Parameters
x int: The x coordinate of the pixel to replace (0...width-1)

y int: The y coordinate of the pixel to replace (0...height-1)

color int: The ARGB color to write into the bitmap

Throws
IllegalStateException if the bitmap is not mutable
IllegalArgumentException if x, y are outside of the bitmap's bounds.

setPixels

Added in API level 1
public void setPixels (int[] pixels, 
                int offset, 
                int stride, 
                int x, 
                int y, 
                int width, 
                int height)

Replace pixels in the bitmap with the colors in the array. Each element in the array is a packed int representing a non-premultiplied ARGB Color in the sRGB color space.

Parameters
pixels int: The colors to write to the bitmap This value cannot be null.

offset int: The index of the first color to read from pixels[]

stride int: The number of colors in pixels[] to skip between rows. Normally this value will be the same as the width of the bitmap, but it can be larger (or negative).

x int: The x coordinate of the first pixel to write to in the bitmap.

y int: The y coordinate of the first pixel to write to in the bitmap.

width int: The number of colors to copy from pixels[] per row

height int: The number of rows to write to the bitmap

Throws
IllegalStateException if the bitmap is not mutable
IllegalArgumentException if x, y, width, height are outside of the bitmap's bounds.
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the pixels array is too small to receive the specified number of pixels.

setPremultiplied

Added in API level 19
public void setPremultiplied (boolean premultiplied)

Sets whether the bitmap should treat its data as pre-multiplied.

Bitmaps are always treated as pre-multiplied by the view system and Canvas for performance reasons. Storing un-pre-multiplied data in a Bitmap (through setPixel(int, int, int), setPixels(int, int, int, int, int, int, int), or BitmapFactory.Options.inPremultiplied) can lead to incorrect blending if drawn by the framework.

This method will not affect the behavior of a bitmap without an alpha channel, or if hasAlpha() returns false.

Calling createBitmap(Bitmap) or createScaledBitmap(Bitmap, int, int, boolean) with a source Bitmap whose colors are not pre-multiplied may result in a RuntimeException, since those functions require drawing the source, which is not supported for un-pre-multiplied Bitmaps.

Parameters
premultiplied boolean

setWidth

Added in API level 19
public void setWidth (int width)

Convenience method for calling reconfigure(int, int, android.graphics.Bitmap.Config) with the current height and config.

WARNING: this method should not be used on bitmaps currently used by the view system, see reconfigure(int, int, android.graphics.Bitmap.Config) for more details.

Parameters
width int

wrapHardwareBuffer

Added in API level 29
public static Bitmap wrapHardwareBuffer (HardwareBuffer hardwareBuffer, 
                ColorSpace colorSpace)

Create a hardware bitmap backed by a HardwareBuffer.

The passed HardwareBuffer's usage flags must contain HardwareBuffer#USAGE_GPU_SAMPLED_IMAGE.

The bitmap will keep a reference to the buffer so that callers can safely close the HardwareBuffer without affecting the Bitmap. However the HardwareBuffer must not be modified while a wrapped Bitmap is accessing it. Doing so will result in undefined behavior.

Parameters
hardwareBuffer HardwareBuffer: The HardwareBuffer to wrap. This value cannot be null.

colorSpace ColorSpace: The color space of the bitmap. Must be a ColorSpace.Rgb colorspace. If null, SRGB is assumed.

Returns
Bitmap A bitmap wrapping the buffer, or null if there was a problem creating the bitmap.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the HardwareBuffer has an invalid usage, or an invalid colorspace is given.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 1
public void writeToParcel (Parcel p, 
                int flags)

Write the bitmap and its pixels to the parcel. The bitmap can be rebuilt from the parcel by calling CREATOR.createFromParcel(). If this bitmap is Config#HARDWARE, it may be unparceled with a different pixel format (e.g. 565, 8888), but the content will be preserved to the best quality permitted by the final pixel format

Parameters
p Parcel: Parcel object to write the bitmap data into This value cannot be null.

flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
