Android - Bitmap.createScaledBitmap() setting Config to ARGB_8888 -

This was the first time I had a question that, despite the complete search, it has not been asked yet. / P>

I have a problem with Bitmap.createScaledBitmap () which results in enhanced bitmap always ARGB_8888 , regardless of configuration of input. Naturally, this is a problem while dealing with a limited problem.

  is InputStream; Try {is = mAssets.open ("test.png"); Bitmapfile Options = New Bitmap Feature. Option (); Opts.inPreferredConfig = Config.ARGB_4444; Bitmap default bitmap = bitmapfile Acodestream (is, empty, ops); System.out.println ("Basic Config:" + BasicBitMap.Get Config ()); MScale = (float) mHeight / originalBitmap.getHeight (); MBitmapScaled = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap (originalBitmap, (int) (mScale * (name) originalBitmap.getWidth ()), (int) (mScale * (name) originalBitmap.getHeight ()), true); System.out.println ("Scaled:" + mbitmapScaled.getConfig ()); OriginalBitmap.recycle (); is close(); } Hold (IOException e) {// something}   
 returns the code output above:  
 
 Basic Bitmap: ARGB_4444  
 Scaled: ARGB_8888   
 As the  bitmap.createScaledBitmap ()  method does not take a config, there seems to be no way to stop it. any idea?   
 
 
  createScaledBitmap (...)  creates a new, extended bitmap and Therefore, in your given logic, the  createBitmap (...)  passes the method.  
 The following is the source code of the code ... Bitmap (...) :  
  if (config! = Null) { Switch (config) {case RGB_565: newConfig = Config.RGB_565; break; Case ALPHA_8: Configure New Config =. LAPHA_8; break; // Nonspection Deception Case ARGB_4444: Case ARGB_8888: Default: newConfig = Config.ARGB_8888; break; }}   
  with ARGB_4444  configuration changes every bitmap to a  ARGB_8888  bitmap as you can see if your question To answer: No, there is no way to stop it (unless you want to copy parts of the source code and make your own scaling method).  
  Why Bitmap?        
    
 ARGB_4444 :  
 This field is deprecated. Due to poor quality of this configuration, instead of using  ARGB_8888  is recommended.
