Where the heck is Bitmap getByteCount()?

Question

I know the Android platform is a huge mess, over complicated and over-engineered, but seriously to get the size of a bitmap, is it really necessary to do all those conversio

Answer 1

If you filter by API Level 8 (= SDK 2.2), you'll see that Bitmap#getByteCount() is greyed out, meaning that method is not present in that API level.

getByteCount() was added in API Level 12.
