Resize Drawable in Android

Question

I am setting a drawable for a progress dialog (pbarDialog) but my issue is I want to resize the drawable each time but can't figure out how.

Here is some code:

Handler progressHandler = new Handler() {

    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
        switch (msg.what) {
            // some more code
            case UPDATE_PBAR:
                pbarDialog.setIcon(mAppIcon);
                pbarDialog.setMessage(mPbarMsg);
                pbarDialog.incrementProgressBy(mIncrement+1);
                break;
        }
    }
};

pbarDialog.show();

Thread myThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {

    public void run() {
        // some code
        for (int i = 0; i < mApps.size(); i++) {
            mAppIcon = mAdapter.getIcons().get(mApps.get(i).getPackageName());
            // need to resize drawable here
            progressHandler.sendEmptyMessage(UPDATE_PBAR);
        }
        handler.sendEmptyMessage(DISMISS_PBAR);
    }

});

The following worked for me:

private Drawable resize(Drawable image) {
    Bitmap b = ((BitmapDrawable)image).getBitmap();
    Bitmap bitmapResized = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, 50, 50, false);
    return new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bitmapResized);
}

Here's where I ended up, thanks in part to Saad's answer:

public Drawable scaleImage (Drawable image, float scaleFactor) {

    if ((image == null) || !(image instanceof BitmapDrawable)) {
        return image;
    }

    Bitmap b = ((BitmapDrawable)image).getBitmap();

    int sizeX = Math.round(image.getIntrinsicWidth() * scaleFactor);
    int sizeY = Math.round(image.getIntrinsicHeight() * scaleFactor);

    Bitmap bitmapResized = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, sizeX, sizeY, false);

    image = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bitmapResized);

    return image;

}

Answer 3

For the resizing, this is nice and short (the code above wasn't working for me), found here:

  ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
  Bitmap bMap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.picture);
  Bitmap bMapScaled = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bMap, newWidth, newHeight, true);
  iv.setImageBitmap(bMapScaled);

Answer 4

Maybe my solution covers the question not completely, but I needed something like a "CustomDrawable".

In other words, I want to set a logo in front of a circle shape. So I created a FrameLayout with a background (just a colored circle) and in front of this round shape I show the logo.

To resize the logo I shrink the logo by scaling - here is some code:

iv = new ImageView(mContext);

iv.setScaleX(0.75f); // <- resized by scaling 
iv.setScaleY(0.75f);

// loading the drawable from a getter (replace this with any drawable)
Drawable drawable = ML.loadIcon(mContext, Integer.parseInt(icon));

iv.setImageDrawable(drawable);

// icon get's shown inside a ListView
viewHolder.mIvIcon.addView(iv);

Here is the FrameLayout which shows the icon inside ListView's row:

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/iv_card_icon"
    android:layout_width="48dp"
    android:layout_height="48dp"
    android:src="@drawable/circle"
    android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
    />

See this solution as an option / idea.

Here is a combination of the above answers as a Kotlin extension

fun Context.scaledDrawableResources(@DrawableRes id: Int, @DimenRes width: Int, @DimenRes height: Int): Drawable {
    val w = resources.getDimension(width).toInt()
    val h = resources.getDimension(height).toInt()
    return scaledDrawable(id, w, h)
}

fun Context.scaledDrawable(@DrawableRes id: Int, width: Int, height: Int): Drawable {
    val bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(resources, id)
    val bmpScaled = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmp, width, height, false)
    return BitmapDrawable(resources, bmpScaled)
}

Usage:

val scaled = context.scaledDrawableResources(R.drawable.ic_whatever, R.dimen.width, R.dimen.height)
imageView.setImageDrawable(scaled)

or

val scaled = context.scaledDrawable(R.drawable.ic_whatever, 100, 50)
imageView.setImageDrawable(scaled)
