I updated my build to build against Android 1.6, and now my bitmaps are scaled down on high density screens. I do NOT want this behavior. I gave this a shot:
http://blog.tomgibara.com/post/190539066/android-unscaled-bitmaps
but the images are STILL scaling, that is UNLESS I set them to a specific height & width. If I use wrap_content
they are scaled down.
I have an image loader using the unscaled bitmap loader to create a drawable like so:
Bitmap bm = UnscaledBitmapLoader.loadFromResource(imageBufferInputStream);
drawable = new BitmapDrawable(bm);
which I later assign to an ImageView like so:
imageView.setImageDrawable( copyBitmapDrawable( (BitmapDrawable) drawable) );
In order to have an image not scaled when loading it from a resource (e.g. with BitmapFactory.decodeResource) you have to locate it in res/drawable-nodpi instead of the usual drawable, drawable-ldpi and so on.
Using
new BitmapDrawable(this.getResources(), bmp);
instead of
new BitmapDrawable(bmp);
should solve the issue.
Wrapping the bitmap with a Drawable
is the problem. The Drawable
scales the Bitmap
. Instead of using a Drawable
, assign the Bitmap
to the ImageView
directly using imageView.setImageBitmap(Bitmap)
.
Use ImageView.ScaleType. The CENTER
constant preforms no scaling, so I guess that's what you are looking for.
By the way, do you use pixels or dips as size units? Using dips (density-independent-pixels) is a means of standardizing display on multiple resolutions. You'll find a couple of tips here.
