Resizing a bitmap

Question

The code below resizes a bitmap and keeps the aspect ratio. I was wondering if there is a more efficient way of resizing, because i got the idea that i'm writing code that is already available in the android API.

private Bitmap resizeImage(Bitmap bitmap, int newSize){
    int width = bitmap.getWidth();
    int height = bitmap.getHeight(); 

    int newWidth = 0;
    int newHeight = 0;

    if(width > height){
        newWidth = newSize;
        newHeight = (newSize * height)/width;
    } else if(width < height){
        newHeight = newSize;
        newWidth = (newSize * width)/height;
    } else if (width == height){
        newHeight = newSize;
        newWidth = newSize;
    }

    float scaleWidth = ((float) newWidth) / width;
    float scaleHeight = ((float) newHeight) / height;

    Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
    matrix.postScale(scaleWidth, scaleHeight);

    Bitmap resizedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, 
            width, height, matrix, true); 

    return resizedBitmap;
}

Use the method Bitmap.createScaledBitmap() :)

I really don't think so, I have done almost the same way as you, and got the idea from the android developer pages...

Depends on how you're using the image. If all you want to do is display the bitmap in a View, just call myImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap) and let the framework resize it. But if you're concerned about memory, scaling first may be a good approach.
