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

Before API 12 you can calculate the byte size of an Bitmap using getHeight() * getWidth() * 4 if you are using ARGB_8888 because every pixel is stored in 4bytes. I think this is the default format.
