    ByteArrayOutputStream bbb = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
    view.layout(0, 0, view.getWidth(), view.getHeight());
    view.buildDrawingCache(true);
    bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getDrawingCache());
    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bbb);
    view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);

    return bitmap;

JPEG format must have background color.So when you convert PNG image or icon to JPEG, replace the transparent background with black color.

convert it as PNG. bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, bbb);

Try

Bitmap.createBitmap(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, bbb, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

@Beka we don't have enough code to tell it for sure, but you must add Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888 to one of the methods that load/convert/scale bitmap. It tells explicitly that bitmap is transparent. – agilob Jul 24 '15 at 20:40
what is this `bbb` parameter ? – user889030 Mar 09 '21 at 12:22

You may have already found the answer to this question but just for benefit of those who are still looking for the answer, here it is.

JPEG obviously gives far better compression and smaller image size than PNG. The small size is desirable in optimizing network, storage and image loading transactions. However when you save a view as JPEG the transparent background defaults to "black" colour. So if you want it to be any other colour (including white), you have to set the background of the view to that colour with the following code in the XML of your layout

android:background="@color/whiteColor"

And you have to define your color in colors.xml as below

    <color name="whiteColor">#FFFFFF</color>

This should help you achieve the desired compression along with the desired visuals. All the Best...

I wish Android would have defaulted to a white background instead. Nevertheless, here's what we use to save PNGs with transparency as JPGs with a white background.

public static byte[] ConvertBitmapToJPGBytes(Bitmap img)
{
    img = ConvertTransparentBackgroundToWhite(img);
    if (img == null)
        return null;

    ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream( );
    img.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
    img.recycle( );
    return stream.toByteArray( );
}

private static Bitmap ConvertTransparentBackgroundToWhite(Bitmap bm)
{
    if (bm == null)
        return null;
    if (bm.hasAlpha( ))
    {
        try
        {
            Bitmap newBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bm.getWidth( ), bm.getHeight( ), bm.getConfig( ));
            Canvas canvas = new Canvas(newBitmap);
            canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
            canvas.drawBitmap(bm, 0, 0, null);
            bm = newBitmap;
        }
        catch (RuntimeException exc)
        {
            return null;
        }
    }
    return bm;
}

The JPEG format does not support alpha transparency, which is why the transparent background becomes black when you convert your original image to JPEG.

Use the PNG format instead

you should set draw color to white and your font color to black

canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
