BitmapFactory.decodeResource（getResources（），R.drawable.four_colors）; four_colors是什么意思？

Question

I am trying to implement this code:

package fortyonepost.com.iapa;  

import android.app.Activity;  
import android.graphics.Bitmap;  
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;  
import android.os.Bundle;  
import android.util.Log;  

public class ImageAsPixelArray extends Activity  
{  
//a Bitmap that will act as a handle to the image  
private Bitmap bmp;  

//an integer array that will store ARGB pixel values  
private int[][] rgbValues;  

/** Called when the activity is first created. */  
@Override  
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)  
{  
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
    setContentView(R.layout.main);  

    //load the image and use the bmp object to access it  
    bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.four_colors);  

    //define the array size  
    rgbValues = new int[bmp.getWidth()][bmp.getHeight()];  

    //Print in LogCat's console each of one the RGB and alpha values from the 4 corners of the image  
    //Top Left  
    Log.i("Pixel Value", "Top Left pixel: " + Integer.toHexString(bmp.getPixel(0, 0)));  
    //Top Right  
    Log.i("Pixel Value", "Top Right pixel: " + Integer.toHexString(bmp.getPixel(31, 0)));  
    //Bottom Left  
    Log.i("Pixel Value", "Bottom Left pixel: " + Integer.toHexString(bmp.getPixel(0, 31)));  
    //Bottom Right  
    Log.i("Pixel Value", "Bottom Right pixel: " + Integer.toHexString(bmp.getPixel(31, 31)));  

    //get the ARGB value from each pixel of the image and store it into the array  
    for(int i=0; i < bmp.getWidth(); i++)  
    {  
        for(int j=0; j < bmp.getHeight(); j++)  
        {  
            //This is a great opportunity to filter the ARGB values  
            rgbValues[i][j] = bmp.getPixel(i, j);  
        }  
    }  

    //Do something with the ARGB value array  
}  
}  

}

I can't seem to figure out what this line of code does bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.four_colors);
when i try to implement it, eclipse will say it can't find what four_colors is, i've got no idea what it is and cant seem to figure it out. Do you guys know what it is? and how should it be used? thank in advance

Answer 1

R is an automatically generated file that keeps track of the resources in your project. The drawable means the resource is of the type drawable, usually (but not always) meaning the resource is in one of your res/drawables -folders, eg res/drawables_xhdpi . Four_colors refers to the resource name, usually indicating the file you're referring to is a file called 'four_colors` (eg a PNG-file) in eg the res/drawables-xhdpi folder.

So, the four_colors refers to the name of the (in this case) drawable your app trying to load.

When Eclipse says it cannot find the resource, it means the resource is not included in the project where it should be included. Eg you copied some code, but not the drawables that are referred to in the code.

The line BitmapFactory.decodeResource(...) does exactly what it says; it decodes the encoded image into a bitmap, something Android can actually show. Usually when you use bitmaps it does this kind of decoding under the hood; here it's done manually.

You'll need to download this image and put it in your ./res/drawable folder. Be sure to right click the project and select refresh.

Answer 3

four_colors is the name of the image. you have to place image in res / drawable image should have name four_colors.jpg
