Bitmap size exceeds 32bits

Question

I am scaling a Bitmap by using a seekbar. Whenever i increase the progress of seekbar, image scaling fails by giving error "Bitmap size exceeds 32bits". If i scale the image with default seekbar value. it gives an error "Illegal argument exception: Width and height must be > 0".

Function to scale image in Class B

    int h = bitmap.getHeight();

    // Get current dimensions AND the desired bounding box

    float yScale = ((float) bounding) / h;

Function to get bounding value in scaleImage() function

Answer 1

Which value are you passing into the density argument of your dpToPx(int,int) method?

Your method declares density as int, which leads me to believe you may be passing in DisplayMetrics.densityDpi, a three-digit int number. What you meant to use DisplayMetrics.density, a single digit float number. This will have pushed your image dimension outside 32 bits:

threshold 32 bits signed int = 2^31 -1         =  2147483647

progressValue = 16
bitmap edge   = 16 * 128     = 2048
bitmap size   = 2048^2       = 4194304
at 32 bpp     = 4194304 * 32 = 134217728

multiplied by densityDpi     = 134217728 * 460 = 61740154880  // kaboom
multiplied by density        = 134217728 * 3   =   402653184  // ok
