Android Question Is there size limitation in SetBackgroundImage?

incendio · May 23, 2014

Hi guys,

I am trying to set background image for panel/imageview with SetBackgroundImage method.
It was failed when using image file (jpg file) with size about 2.5MB.

Is there any size limitation? If there is a limit, what is the max size limit to works correctly?

Thanks in advance.

I have loaded a picture of 2.87 Mb in this way without any problems.

B4X:

Private bmp As Bitmap
bmp.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "TestFile.jpg")
Private bmd As BitmapDrawable
bmd.Initialize(bmp)
Panel1.Background = bmd

However, remember that you can use LoadBitmapSample

The only limit is the process available memory. Remember that the file size doesn't really matter. What matters if the actual image size as images are stored uncompressed in memories. The bottom line is that you should LoadBitmapSample.

Thanks for your help guys.

Changing from LoadBitmap to LoadBitmapSample, works ok.
