It\'s possible to access the alpha channel of a given bitmap with extractAlpha()
, but I haven\'t been able to find any way to actually set the alpha channel of
Manipulating Bitmaps is a farily simple thing, when to access the pixel (bytes) directly. To do that in Android you can do it over this approch
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, bos);
byte[] b = bos.toByteArray();
Now you can do any image manipulation, tranformation or combination you like.
I hope this is what you were looking for.
