Loading a resource to a mutable bitmap

Question

I am loading a bitmap from a resource like so:

 Bitmap mBackground = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res,R.drawable.image);

What I want to do

Answer 1

You'd better use RapidDecoder.

import rapid.decoder.BitmapDecoder;

Bitmap mBackground = BitmapDecoder.from(res, R.drawable.image)
        .mutable().decode();

Works for API level 8.
