BitmapRegionDecoderCompat

BitmapRegionDecoderCompat ( BRDCompat) is the 'compat' version of the official BitmapRegionDecoder API.

BitmapRegionDecoder can be used to decode a rectangle region from an image; it is particularly useful when an original image is large and you only need parts of the image.

The standard BitmapRegionDecoder (aka BRD) requires API level 10.

BRDCompat extends the compatibility down to API 8 and adds some extra useful methods.

Features

Extends compatibility down to API 8 (from 10)
Adds new methods like decodeBestRegion(), which extracts the best image sub-region given the specified params (required size, gravity). The best region means the biggest visual portion of the (downsampled) original image given the required gravity and the output sizes/ratio.

Download

Gradle dependency

Add the following 'compile' statement in your build.gradle file (requires jCenter repository):

dependencies {

  //...your dependecies
  compile 'org.bonnyfone:brdcompat:0.1' 
}

How To...

...upgrade from the standard API

If you are already using the BitmapRegionDecoder API, just change the base class name from BitmapRegionDecoder to BitmapRegionDecoderCompat.

//BitmapRegionDecoder brd = BitmapRegionDecoder.newInstance(...);
 BitmapRegionDecoderCompat brd = BitmapRegionDecoderCompat.newInstance(...);

...simulate the fallback for API < 10 on device/emulator running API 10+

For debug purpose only you can force the library to work in backward-compatibility mode by invoking the following static method (be sure to do this before the creation of any instance of BRDCompat):

BitmapRegionDecoderCompat.setForceFallbackImplementation(true);

Example
