Blackberry - how to resize image?

Question

I wanted to know if we can resize an image. Suppose if we want to draw an image of 200x200 actual size with a size of 100 x 100 size on our blackberry screen.

Thanks

Answer 1

in this there is two bitmap.temp is holding the old bitmap.In this method you just pass
bitmap ,width,height.it return new bitmap of your choice.

  Bitmap ImgResizer(Bitmap bitmap , int width , int height){
    Bitmap temp=new Bitmap(width,height);
    Bitmap resized_Bitmap = bitmap;
    temp.createAlpha(Bitmap.HOURGLASS);
    resized_Bitmap.scaleInto(temp , Bitmap.FILTER_LANCZOS);
    return temp;
}

Answer 2

Keep in mind that the default image scaling done by BlackBerry is quite primitive and generally doesn't look very good. If you are building for 5.0 there is a new API to do much better image scaling using filters such as bilinear or Lanczos.

Answer 3

Just an alternative:
BlackBerry - draw image on the screen
BlackBerry - image 3D transform

Answer 4

Here is the function or you can say method to resize image, use it as you want :

int olddWidth;
int olddHeight;
int dispplayWidth;
int dispplayHeight;

EncodedImage ei2 = EncodedImage.getEncodedImageResource("add2.png");
olddWidth = ei2.getWidth();
olddHeight = ei2.getHeight();
dispplayWidth = 40;\\here pass the width u want in pixels
dispplayHeight = 80;\\here pass the height u want in pixels again

int numeerator = net.rim.device.api.math.Fixed32.toFP(olddWidth);
int denoominator = net.rim.device.api.math.Fixed32.toFP(dispplayWidth);
int widtthScale = net.rim.device.api.math.Fixed32.div(numeerator, denoominator);
numeerator = net.rim.device.api.math.Fixed32.toFP(olddHeight);
denoominator = net.rim.device.api.math.Fixed32.toFP(dispplayHeight);
int heighhtScale = net.rim.device.api.math.Fixed32.div(numeerator, denoominator);
EncodedImage newEi2 = ei2.scaleImage32(widtthScale, heighhtScale); 
Bitmap _add =newEi2.getBitmap();

Answer 5

For BlackBerry JDE 5.0 or later, you can use the scaleInto API.

I'm not a Blackberry programmer, but I believe some of these links will help you out:
