Divide Image into parts

Question

I have images stored into sd card. I want to divide the image into sixteen equal parts. How to do it using bitmap?

Answer 1

I found the below code that work greates. It divide image into 9 parts. You can use this code to divide image into 16 parts. This is a very simple approach.

public Bitmap[] splitBitmap(Bitmap picture)
{
Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(picture, 240, 240, true);
Bitmap[] imgs = new Bitmap[9];
imgs[0] = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaledBitmap, 0, 0, 80 , 80);
imgs[1] = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaledBitmap, 80, 0, 80, 80);
imgs[2] = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaledBitmap,160, 0, 80,80);
imgs[3] = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaledBitmap, 0, 80, 80, 80);
imgs[4] = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaledBitmap, 80, 80, 80,80);
imgs[5] = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaledBitmap, 160, 80,80,80);
imgs[6] = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaledBitmap, 0, 160, 80,80);
imgs[7] = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaledBitmap, 80, 160,80,80);
imgs[8] = Bitmap.createBitmap(scaledBitmap, 160,160,80,80);
return imgs;


}

The function takes the original bitmap as a parameter, then using the Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(picture, 240, 240, true); i created a scaled image of size 240 x 240 to split the image into equal pieces, i have created a 3 x 3 by grid, in which each image’s size is of 80 x 80. This can be changed as per your needs, but the width should be kept to 240, because all the normal android phone screens are 240 dip wide.

All the bitmaps are stored in a bitmap array, and finally the function returns the array back to the calling function.
