Android resizes monochrome imageview creating grey pixels

I have an image which is monochrome, meaning only white and black pixels. I have made several versions of the image in order to cover all dpi folders. I am using a monochrome image since I want to apply the floodfill algorithm. The problem is that in some devices, android uses resized versions of the images and while scaling there are some grey pixels. In order to deal with this I tried correcting the pixels and converting the grey to either white or black, but this takes significant time. Is it possible to force android to generate monochrome images while resizing the imageview or to apply a quick filter to regenerate the monochrome image? While I haven't tried it, should I generate different versions of the images in the nodpi folder and use them without scaling, perhaps with center crop?

You can load the Drawable as Bitmap. 

final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
// Load the bitmap as mutable object
options.inMutable = true; 
final Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.my_image, options);

Then you can manipulate it with your algorithm and finally you will set the result to your ImageView

imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

This way you should not get any grey pixels caused by Android Scaling.
