I have been searching but i did not find a question about how to pixelize a bitmap in android
Example
Note that i dont mean blur
You could just try and resize that image to a smaller version (and then back up if you need it at the same size as the original for some reason)
{
Bitmap original = ...;
//Calculate proportional size, or make the method accept just a factor of scale.
Bitmap small = getResigetResizedBitmap(original, smallWidth, smallHeight);
Bitmap pixelated = getResigetResizedBitmap(small, normalWidth, normalHeight);
//Recycle small, recycle original if no longer needed.
}
public Bitmap getResizedBitmap(Bitmap bm, int newWidth, int newHeight) {
int width = bm.getWidth();
int height = bm.getHeight();
float scaleWidth = ((float) newWidth) / width;
float scaleHeight = ((float) newHeight) / height;
// CREATE A MATRIX FOR THE MANIPULATION
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
// RESIZE THE BIT MAP
matrix.postScale(scaleWidth, scaleHeight);
// "RECREATE" THE NEW BITMAP
Bitmap resizedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
bm, 0, 0, width, height, matrix, false);
return resizedBitmap;
}
The code is from here
