I have created an application that shoots and saves photos. I have a preview and an overlay on top of that preview. The overlay defines a square (the area around the square shows the preview a bit darker), as you can see in the image:
example
What i need to do is to extract the part of the image where the square is. The square is defined like this:
Rect frame = new Rect(350,50,450,150);
How can i do that? i have the byte array (byte[] data) that i can save, but i want to change the application so that only the square area will be saved.
Edit: i have tried the following:
int[] pixels = new int[100000];
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data , 0, data.length);
bitmap.getPixels(pixels, 0, 480, 350, 50, 100, 100);
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(pixels, 0, 100, 100, 100, Config.ARGB_4444);
bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 0, bos);
byte[] square = bos.toByteArray();
and then write the array "square" to a new file... The problem is that i get a picture made of lines... there is a problem with the transformation that i made
