My android application handles very large Bitmaps. Because of this, I turned hardware-acceleration off on the image views. However, some users have set the Developer-Option
Bitmap is Composed of Pixels and you can count the number of pixels in the bitmap matrix ,, set a limit to your number of bitmap pixels . In OpenGl i can't say , but in general we can easily handle them , also there is a method
bitmap.inSampleSize();
if you assign
Bitmap.inSampleSize()= 1;
then the original bitmap pixel will be loaded.
Bitmap.inSampleSize()= 2;
then the pixels will become half of the original pixel.
Bitmap.inSampleSize() = 4
then the pixels will become 1/4 of the original pixel . This way you can reduce the size of the pixels in the bitmap , I have done this thing in my program , hopefully it will work with you too.
