Android: padding left a bitmap with white color

Question

How to set all white the 10 rows on the left side of a Bitmap? I'v got a Bitmap that has to be padded on the left side. I thought i can create a new image iterate on the old one getpixel for each position and setpixel on the new one (white or colored) than return the new bitmap...is this wrong? Any suggestion? thanks a lot!

Solution 1

You can instead create a new Bitmap with the extra padding number of pixels. Set this as the canvas bitmap and Color the entire image with the required color and then copy your bitmap.

public Bitmap pad(Bitmap Src, int padding_x, int padding_y) {
    Bitmap outputimage = Bitmap.createBitmap(Src.getWidth() + padding_x,Src.getHeight() + padding_y, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas can = new Canvas(outputimage);
    can.drawARGB(FF,FF,FF,FF); //This represents White color
    can.drawBitmap(Src, padding_x, padding_y, null);
    return outputimage;
}

Solution 2

public Bitmap addPaddingTopForBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int paddingTop) {
    Bitmap outputBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight() + paddingTop, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(outputBitmap);
    canvas.drawColor(Color.RED);
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, paddingTop, null);
    return outputBitmap;
}

public Bitmap addPaddingBottomForBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int paddingBottom) {
    Bitmap outputBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight() + paddingBottom, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(outputBitmap);
    canvas.drawColor(Color.RED);
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, null);
    return outputBitmap;
}


public Bitmap addPaddingRightForBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int paddingRight) {
    Bitmap outputBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth() + paddingRight, bitmap.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(outputBitmap);
    canvas.drawColor(Color.RED);
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, null);
    return outputBitmap;
}

public Bitmap addPaddingLeftForBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int paddingLeft) {
    Bitmap outputBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth() + paddingLeft, bitmap.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(outputBitmap);
    canvas.drawColor(Color.RED);
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, paddingLeft, 0, null);
    return outputBitmap;
}

does this works on android? i'v got a Bitmap (android class) image..ho to switch to BufferedImage? thanks!

[Jed84]

Perfect! thanks..just one more question..for x-offset you mean the first pixel left after padding?

[Pierre]

Lets say i have a bitmap with dimentions (w256, h104), wil this be able to make this image (w256, h128) by adding white spaces on top and bottom evenly without stretching the image?

Nice but it only add pixcels to top and left side of bitmap. nothing found for all 4 sides(top,left,right,bottom).

@RahulSharma I just did this to give padding from all side. Hope it will help someone. Bitmap outputimage = Bitmap.createBitmap(Src.getWidth() + padding_x,Src.getHeight() + padding_y, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888); Canvas can = new Canvas(outputimage); can.drawBitmap(Src, padding_x, padding_y, null); Bitmap output = Bitmap.createBitmap(outputimage.getWidth()+padding_x, outputimage.getHeight() + padding_y, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888); Canvas canvas = new Canvas(output); canvas.drawBitmap(outputimage, 0, 0, null); return output;

Thanks so much man. Your functions are easy to use. +1.
