Rotate a bitmap using render script android

Question

When I use following code, it ends up with outofmemory exception. After doing researh Render script looks like a good candidate. Where can I find sample code for similar operation and how can integrate it to my project.

public Bitmap rotateBitmap(Bitmap image, int angle) {
    if (image != null) {

        Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
        matrix.postRotate(angle, (image.getWidth()) / 2,
                (image.getHeight()) / 2);

        return Bitmap.createBitmap(image, 0, 0, image.getWidth(),
                image.getHeight(), matrix, true);
    }
    return null;
}

Basically rotating bitmap is a task of rotating 2D array without using additional memory. And this is the correct implementation with RenderScript: Android: rotate image without loading it to memory .

But this is not necessary if all you want is just to display rotated Bitmap. You can simply extend ImageView and rotate the Canvas while drawing on it:

canvas.save();
canvas.rotate(angle, X + (imageW / 2), Y + (imageH / 2));
canvas.drawBitmap(imageBmp, X, Y, null);
canvas.restore();

What about ScriptIntrinsic, since it's just a built-in RenderScript kernels for common operations you cannot do nothing above the already implemented functions: ScriptIntrinsic3DLUT, ScriptIntrinsicBLAS, ScriptIntrinsicBlend, ScriptIntrinsicBlur, ScriptIntrinsicColorMatrix, ScriptIntrinsicConvolve3x3, ScriptIntrinsicConvolve5x5, ScriptIntrinsicHistogram, ScriptIntrinsicLUT, ScriptIntrinsicResize, ScriptIntrinsicYuvToRGB. They do not include functionality to rotate bitmap at the moment so you should create your own ScriptC script.
