Hi guys,

I am retrieving bitmap in form of int[ ] containing RGB values of pixels from  server. Is there a way to convert this form into bitmap directly w/o converting individual pixel value into byte? I need to do this very frequently.

Thanks in advance.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a Bitmap of the appropriate size.
2. Call Graphics.create(Bitmap) to get a Graphics for drawing into the bitmap.
3. Call drawRGB on the graphics to draw your data into the bitmap.

An alternative is to go through your RGB array and set the high-order (alpha) byte to 0xFF (data[i] |= 0xFF000000) and then just call setARGB for the bitmap directly after step 1.

I am already using the first one

I think second one would be nice if updates are not so frequent.

I doubt the network connection will supply data fast enough to flood this conversion process.  However why don't you get the Server to send pngs rather than these ints that need conversion?

Server is sending bitmaps fast enough. You can think of it as an animation frame by frame.

I don't have control on the server they have their own protocol.
