image resolution for banner and logo - android

I have a problem with image size and resolution on my app I need to upload an image then I want to resize it to all screen, which is the best image size and width/height for banner and logo and I need a good tool that resizes image?

You will want to remake the logo in a vector format, this relies on positions rather than individual pixels.
In other words no matter how big you make the image, it will always be crisp and sharp.
If I remember to back when I dabbled in Android development I seem to remember android making different sized versions of the logo and banner... Therefore what I would do is create the logo in a vector program such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator, and exporting it as a high quality png, this way if you need to resize it in the future, you just export it at a different size and you're good to go.

Why Transparent Images Look Poor Quality in Flutter?

I have png images that have drop shadow. There is no unproportional images scaling problem, scaling are according to the aspect ratio.
When I using Image.asset() for placing images on phone screen, they're and their shadows looks low quality and not soft.
Original image looks: http://prnt.sc/p93vo2
Image on Android App: https://prnt.sc/p93vz3
Example images are same and 700x400, 96dpi.
You should see quality difference between images.
There is also a strange stuation. The shadow density on right and bottom side is more than shadow of original image on android app.
I've tried FilterQuality.high but no change, how to fix it?
In my case, the problem was due to a bad configuration of the image resolution system.

Resize an image to square resolution

I am developing an android application which resizes android pictures. I was wondering if its possible to resize a file with resolution (1080X1920) to (500X500) square size.
Without looking too bad (quality and dimensions).
Let me show you an example.
First image:
Resized picture:
Answers using code will be appreciated
If you don't want to distort the image you have two options:
Crop the image
Implement the seam carving algorithm
Edit: this assumes you want to fill up the whole square. If not, just keep the width/height ratio and downscale the image properly so that the largest dimension fits in the side of the square.

Android imageview image quality matter?

I am writing a Android app which need to display some high quality picture(took from professional DSLR). The problem is it can't be display from gallery.
I choose a photo in Gallery first. The target picture is 2464*1632 JPEG, roughly 4.5M;
Then I just need to compress it to 800*600 and display it in imageview:
image.setImageBitmap(this.bmp);
Thing is that I have tested other image I downloaded form internet(really low quality), and it works without any problem. Can anybody tell me why it can't be displayed? I will be really appericiated
Large images are tricky to handle due to limited memory. You have several choices:
Use a WebView (this allows you to have pinch and zoom functionality to make use of those extra pixels
Decode the image down to the size of the display and then put it in an ImageView using BitmapOpts http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/BitmapFactory.Options.html and changing inSampleSize. It seems you may be having difficulty with that, so consider using createScaledBitmap which just needs the dest width and height.

Cleanly down-scaling images in Android: can it be done?

I'm having trouble cleanly down-scaling images on Android. I'm looking to scale small PNG images between arbitrary sizes of about 10-100% of their original size.
I've created a sample image to demonstrate the problem and exacerbate the unusual behaviors I'm seeing in Android's image scaler:
The above image is a screenshot from an Android device with some annotations added. I've also added the same images in a second column on the left side showing how they are rendered with a linear scaling by "The GIMP" (GNU Image Manipulation Program).
The base image consists of a checkerboard pattern background of red and blue pixels. On that background I've drawn some 1px-wide yellow lines and fairly thin green text. The image is 288x288 pixels.
When scaling the image to 1/3 of its original dimensions, Android seems to simply grab one in nine pixels, throwing out all other data. Some of the yellow lines disappear entirely as a result. Remarkably, the checkerboard pattern remains intact (which is simply a result of every 3rd pixel being used).
When scaling the image to a dimension of near-but-not-exactly 50% of its original size, e.g., 142x142 or 143x143, the scaler creates some fairly large anomalies/artifacts on the image.
At 50% size (144x144), the image looks correct.
The test image does bring out the worst of the image scaler, but "normal" PNG icon images are severely impacted as well. From 10-33% or so the images aren't properly resampled, and thus appear extremely "bitmapped". And certain larger size images have very strange anomalies in them at certain sizes.
If anyone knows a means to disable this strange scaling behavior, even at a performance cost, I'd greatly appreciate knowing about it. It can certainly be solved by writing an algorithm that works directly on the pixels of bitmaps, but I'm hopeful that isn't the only option.
Also noteworthy is the fact that all image work is being done with ARGB_8888 Bitmap.Configs. I've tried manipulating image size by setting maxwidth/maxheight on ImageViews, by using Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(), and by using Bitmap.createBitmap with a Matrix. All attempts have this same result. Bitmap filtering is enabled.
Thanks again for any suggestions!
Using Bitmap.createScaledBitmap() and Bitmap.createBitmap with a Matrix is the same; see the source for Bitmap.createScaledBitmap (which hasn't changed since Android 2).
On Android 4.0+, using a matrix (as in Bitmap.createScaledBitmap) allows hardware-accelerated operations if enabled (enabled by default on 4.1+ IIRC), thus we doesn't have direct control over what is being done and how it is done.
That means you'll have to implement your own scaling method using the desired (here, linear) filtering; either by pixel processing; or using OpenGL ES with the good filter, but it may not be available on all devices.

Using vector images to scale for app platforms

Images in apps come in many shapes or sizes, but to save space and editing time is there a way to use scaleable vector images?
Ideally I would have one vector image at middle resolution, I could then detect the screen size and scale the vector how I need and add the background using some custom gradients.
I'm using titanium for this.
Titanium doesn't yet support vector graphics, though it is available in native Android code via Shape Drawables. There is a third-party SVG library available for Android SDK.
For Titanium, branch the code based on the device screen size (Titanium.Platform.DisplayCaps), and find an image that works with decent performance on the device.
You can use PNGs with transparency and apply a background color to your view object.
I've found away round making different sized drawable:
Basically just one have folder called drawable within the res folder.
Make your artwork in what ever you use but make it large (at least 1080p for future devices).
Save the image's as PNG within the drawable folder but save them large. (IE at least 1000x1000)
Write a function that loads in the PNG but scales it (according to screen size & percentage of what size you want the drawable to be. So 20% of 800px width is 120px). I've managed to do this bit with 30ish lines of code, can't paste my code since I'm not on my working machine.
For me this has worked across all my apps for all devices, I've not had a single crash yet (1000's of installs, including Live Wallpapers).
