Android Question Bitmap creator: drawBitmapCreator with different target sizes

[sorex]

Hello,

I'm having a play with the new drawbitmap library and have some questions about it...

If I see it right there's no way to draw part of an image with a different target size with 1 .draw... command?

If you want to display an image twice with different sizes do you need to create 2 bitmaps and use loadbitmapresize with the different sizes and then draw those ?

won't that use more memory?

.drawBitmap supports target sizing but is it as fast as .drawBitmapCreator or is it the old (slow) method?

while .drawBitmap seems to work it's applying a blur when upscaling. can this be turned off? I only see it for canvas not for imageview or (B4X)bitmaps

BitmapCreator v3.60 which is included in B4A v8.30 includes a new method named DrawBitmapCreatorTransformed.
A tutorial about this method will be available next week. It will also be available in B4i and B4J.

This method allows you to draw scaled and rotated BitmapCreators.

Dim dt As DrawTask = bc.CreateDrawTask(source, SrcRect, 50, 50, True) '(50, 50) defines the target center
dt.SrcScaleX = 2.5
dt.SrcScaleY = 3
dt.Degrees = 180
bc.DrawBitmapCreatorTransformed(dt)

excellent.

this doesn't apply the blur which I was talking about in the post above (I added that line while you just posted your reply)
