Crop-to-fit image in Android

Question

I've been trying this for some time, I would like to create a wallpaper from a Bitmap. Let's say the desired wallpaper size is 320x480, and the source image size is 2048x2048.

I'm not sure whether crop-to-fit is the right term, but what I would like to achieve is to get most part of the picture that has the equal ratio as the desired wallpaper size (320x480).

So in this case, I would like to get 2048x1365 or (1365.333... to be exact) from the source Bitmap, and scale it down to 320x480.

The technique that I have tried is:

1) Crop the Bitmap into 2048x1365 first

bm = Bitmap.createBitmap(bm, xOffset, yOffset, 2048, 1365);

2) Scale it down to 320x480

bm = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bm, 320, 480, false);

which produced OutOfMemory error.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks to open source, I found the answer from Android Gallery source code here at line 230 :-D

croppedImage = Bitmap.createBitmap(mOutputX, mOutputY, Bitmap.Config.RGB_565);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(croppedImage);

Rect srcRect = mCrop.getCropRect();
Rect dstRect = new Rect(0, 0, mOutputX, mOutputY);

int dx = (srcRect.width() - dstRect.width()) / 2;
int dy = (srcRect.height() - dstRect.height()) / 2;

// If the srcRect is too big, use the center part of it.
srcRect.inset(Math.max(0, dx), Math.max(0, dy));

// If the dstRect is too big, use the center part of it.
dstRect.inset(Math.max(0, -dx), Math.max(0, -dy));

// Draw the cropped bitmap in the center
canvas.drawBitmap(mBitmap, srcRect, dstRect, null);
