[apty]

Hi friends,

Is there any b4a library that can assist me add a frame to a photo? I have managed to select the photo and now I want to add a frame to it. Any assistance will be appreciated

Hi!!

Do you mean saving the frame in the bitmap itself or just displaying the image on screen within a frame?

In case you just want to display it on screen, one easy solution is to add a slightly larger panel behind the image.

Something like (pseudo-code):

AddPanel name_of_the_image.panel (same center (x,y) as the image center (x,y), only 3% larger)
Image.BringToFront

If you need, I can provide you the exact B4A code later.

You can draw the bitmap with a canvas and then draw the frame over the bitmap. If the output is always with the same size then it is quite simple. If not you need to use a 9 patch image.

Thanks Erel. I tried looking at the 9 patch images tutorial but i didn't manage to apply it to my case.

@Mashiane another solution is to use the BetterImageView library. But hey that will give you the same results with ease...
