Gets the size in bytes of a bitmap in a Bitmap Drawable.
Should give an idea to understand better the "in-memory size of the bitmap".
Note: different devices use different color modes, and thus take up different amounts of memory for the full, uncompressed image. The 4 modes listed in the Android SDK are ALPHA_8, ARGB_4444, ARGB_8888, and RGB_565
Requires: JavaObject
Hope it might turn out to be useful for someone.
