B4A Library [B4X] BitmapCreator Effects

BitmapCreatorEffects class includes all kinds of very simple to use image effects.
The class is cross platform and compatible with B4J (v6.3+), B4A (v8.3+) and B4i (v5.0+).
Example:

'Greyscale an image:
Dim GreyImage As B4XBitmap = effects.GreyScale(ExistingBmp)
'Blur an image:
Dim BlurImage As B4XBitmap = effects.Blur(ExistingBmp)

The attached examples demonstrate the various methods.


Updates

v1.40 - Adds support for B4XImageViews (XUI Views).
- New ScaleDownImages flag. True by default. The updated example demonstrates the usage. Note that if not using B4XImageView then you should set the image when ScaleDown = False, with XUIViewsUtils.SetBitmapAndFill.
v1.31 -New FadeBorders effect. See post #9: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-bitmapcreator-effects.93608/#post-672188
v1.21 - New ReplaceColor method.
v1.20 - Added PieceSize to ImplodeAnimated and added FlipVertical and FlipHorizontal methods.
v1.10 - Adds TransitionAnimated method to transition between two bitmaps.

I updated the Library to 1.40 (the online version is still reported as 1.31), but i get an error if i try to use B4XImageView instead of regular ImageView. (The reason i did the update was because i need to use B4XImageView)

If i write the line:

effects.ImplodeAnimated(1500, OriginalBmp,B4XImageView1,50)

in the Logs windows i get the warning message: type does not match (warning #22) and if i run the code i get the following error

java.lang.ClassCastException: b4a.example.b4ximageview cannot be cast to android.view.View

It seems that i found a solution, but i m not sure if it is the good one

This code do not works

effects.ImplodeAnimated(1500, OriginalBmp,B4XImageView1,50)

the following works

effects.ImplodeAnimated(1500, OriginalBmp, B4XImageView1.mbase,50)

Your solution is correct. B4XImageView class itself is not a view.

I was in need of some cross platform photographic functions for an app I am writing so I have taken the liberty of extending the BitmapCreatorEffects library and am posting here in case anyone can make use of it.

Image manipulation additions -

Blacks, Whites, Clarity, Contrast, Exposure, Highlights, Shadows, Temperature, Vibrance and Tint

Other addition -

Histogram generator

Demo in B4J only for the moment
