B4R Code Snippet ESP32 with built in OLED display connected to WiFi - Inline C extension method for BMP images

Further to thread https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...led-display-connected-to-wifi-inline-c.81149/ I extended the example with the following:

Display BMP:
'***************************
'***      BOARD TYPE      ***
'*** ESP32 Dev Module ***
'***************************

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'Public variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Public Serial1 As Serial

    Private WiFiConnect As ESP8266WiFi
End Sub

Private Sub AppStart
    Serial1.Initialize(115200)
    Delay(1500)
    Log("AppStart")


    WiFiConnect.Connect2(SSID, pwd)

    RunNative("setup", Null)
    RunNative("cleardisplay", Null)
    RunNative("drawLogo", Null)
    RunNative("updatedisplay", Null)
End Sub

#if C
#include "SSD1306.h"

   //Initialize the OLED display
    SSD1306 display(0x3c, 5, 4);

void setup(B4R::Object* unused)
{
    display.init();
    display.flipScreenVertically();
}

void drawLogo(B4R::Object* unused)
{

static char image_data_cn[] = {

//your image here

};



   //display.drawFastImage(x_pos_from_left, y_pos_from_top, x_size, y_size, image_data_cn);
    display.drawFastImage(0, 10, 128, 25, image_data_cn);
}


void cleardisplay(B4R::Object* unused)
{
    display.clear();
}

void updatedisplay(B4R::Object* unused)
{
    display.display();
}

#End if

Where //your image here you need to paste a byte array, that can be obtained, by converting your monochromatic bmp to an online converter like https://convertio.co/ .
You first need to edit your image, convert it to monochrome, rotate it 90° counterclockwise and vertically mirror it (*), then convert it by selecting convert to Image/XBM and get the file back. It will look something like:

BMP Image:
static char 1102c3b6b9244c8cc1cc96ee1d071f40DskbkZoCAgeoURVn_bits[] = {
  0x00, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00, 0xC0, 0xFF, 0x07, 0x00, 0xF0, 0x03, 0x0F, 0x00,
  0x78, 0x00, 0x1E, 0x00, 0x3C, 0x00, 0x70, 0x00, 0x0C, 0x00, 0x70, 0x00,
  0x0C, 0x00, 0x60, 0x00, 0x0E, 0x00, 0xC0, 0x01, 0x07, 0x00, 0xC0, 0x01,
  0x03, 0x00, 0xC0, 0x01, 0x03, 0x00, 0xC0, 0x01, 0x83, 0xFF, 0x83, 0x01,
etcetera, etcetera };

Paste the array where //your image here is and voilà.
Adjust position by changing x_pos_from_left, y_pos_from_top
Crop image by setting x_size, y_size

Someone more proficient than me in C language could extend the method by passing an Array of int(x_pos_from_left, y_pos_from_top, x_size, y_size) to the C inline.

(*) Rotation depends on the orientation of your display in respect to the viewer
