Is it possible to remove transparent pixels from bitmap in android

Question

In my application i am taking screenshot if the image doesn't fill imageView then transparent pixels are added to bitmap.Is it possible to remove transparent pixels from bitmap or take screenshot without transparent pixels.Thanks in advance.

This method is a lot faster:

static Bitmap trim(Bitmap source) {
    int firstX = 0, firstY = 0;
    int lastX = source.getWidth();
    int lastY = source.getHeight();
    int[] pixels = new int[source.getWidth() * source.getHeight()];
    source.getPixels(pixels, 0, source.getWidth(), 0, 0, source.getWidth(), source.getHeight());
    loop:
    for (int x = 0; x < source.getWidth(); x++) {
        for (int y = 0; y < source.getHeight(); y++) {
            if (pixels[x + (y * source.getWidth())] != Color.TRANSPARENT) {
                firstX = x;
                break loop;
            }
        }
    }
    loop:
    for (int y = 0; y < source.getHeight(); y++) {
        for (int x = firstX; x < source.getWidth(); x++) {
            if (pixels[x + (y * source.getWidth())] != Color.TRANSPARENT) {
                firstY = y;
                break loop;
            }
        }
    }
    loop:
    for (int x = source.getWidth() - 1; x >= firstX; x--) {
        for (int y = source.getHeight() - 1; y >= firstY; y--) {
            if (pixels[x + (y * source.getWidth())] != Color.TRANSPARENT) {
                lastX = x;
                break loop;
            }
        }
    }
    loop:
    for (int y = source.getHeight() - 1; y >= firstY; y--) {
        for (int x = source.getWidth() - 1; x >= firstX; x--) {
            if (pixels[x + (y * source.getWidth())] != Color.TRANSPARENT) {
                lastY = y;
                break loop;
            }
        }
    }
    return Bitmap.createBitmap(source, firstX, firstY, lastX - firstX, lastY - firstY);
}
