B4X:
    Dim view As B4XView = xui.CreatePanel("")
    Root1.AddView(view, 0, 0, 50%x, 50%x)

    Dim mask As B4XBitmap = LoadBitmapResize(File.DirAssets, "mask.png", view.Width, view.Height, False)
   
    Dim bc As BitmapCreator
    bc.Initialize(view.Width, view.Height)
    bc.FillRadialGradient(Array As Int(xui.Color_Black, xui.Color_Gray, xui.Color_Black), bc.TargetRect)
   
    Dim gradient As B4XBitmap = bc.bitmap
    gradient = gradient.Resize(gradient.Width, gradient.Height, False)

    Dim bce As BitmapCreatorEffects
    bce.Initialize
   
    view.SetBitmap(bce.DrawThroughMask(gradient, mask))

If you comment line 11, app crashes, even despite no effective resize.

Important : no problem when running on an AVD (Android SDK 32). However I do get this error message on my Galaxy S22. Also, I replaced the gradient method with FillRect and I got same error message.

The width and height of mask must be = or > gradient's, so Log width and height of both gradient and mask before DrawThroughMask may help to target the problem.

Width and Height were the same but like Erel said, scale was different.

BitmapCreator returns a bitmap of scale 1.
Resizing any bitmap scales it to the device (3 in my case) so it's tricky if you use LoadBitmap instead LoadBitmapResize -- You generally resize everything, so you end up with scales of 3 and BC Bitmaps with scale of 1.
