Android - Supported Image Types

Question

i have searched on the Image types supported by Android everywhere.

Actually, my confusion is which are image types supported by Android (i.e. JPEG, gif, or other) , because just now i have done camera capturing code with JPEG, but when i go and open the Albums from my HTC Hero, then i cant view photos and images which i have captured. so should i not captured photos with extension as .jpeg??

The error shown in Alert box are: "The application Albums(process.com.htc.album) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".

Answer 1

Supported media formats: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

This document describes the media codec, container, and network protocol support provided by the Android platform.

_{As an application developer, you are free to make use of any media codec that is available on any Android-powered device, including those provided by the Android platform and those that are device-specific. However, it is a best practice to use media encoding profiles that are device-agnostic...}

Answer 2

Supported media formats are : PNG, BMP, WEBP(for Android 4 and above)
