Can not access the mBuffer of android.graphics.Bitmap

Question

I use the following code：

Bitmap myBmp = Bitmap.createBitmap( 720, 1280, Config.ARGB_8888 );
byte []data = myBmp.mBuffer ????

But I found that mBuffer can not be accessed. And there is no hint that it can not be accessed in Eclipse. What is the problem?

Answer 1

If you want access to the pixels, use

Bitmap.getPixel(int,int) 

and

Bitmap.setPixel(int,int)

Is this what you want to do?

EDIT: The 'problem' is the Java annotation @hide which hides the member annotated from code completion and induces errors which stop eclipse from compiling.
