Creating a mutable Bitmap from ByteArray... import not working?

Question

I'm trying to do something like this:

Bitmap bmp;
BitmapFactory.Options.inMutable = true;
bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);

But I'm getting an error under BitmapFactory.Options.inMutable = true;

Cannot make a static reference to the non-static field BitmapFactory.Options.inMutable

I'm sure the solution is probably something simple, but I'm unsure of why it's not working.

Answer 1

You need to create an instance of the BitmapFactory.Options class. Something like:

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inMutable = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.lentgh, options);

Answer 2

inMutable is not static field. Try this:

BitmapFactory.Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options();
opts.inMutable = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length(), opts);

or even better this:

Bitmap bmp;
bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
Bitmap mutableBitmap = bmp.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
