I am working in a map project in android. It contains larger image of 10000x10000 resolution. Using this image with Bitmap it gives OutOfMemoryError
Starting from API level 10, you can use BitmapRegionDecoder to load specific regions from an image without the need of manually generating the tile images. I've recently developed a lib that provides the visualisation of large images with touch gesture handling. The source code and samples are available at https://github.com/diegocarloslima/ByakuGallery
