[edit] KB-20071125-007
author: cbazza
Description: There is something wrong when creating "png" Bitmaps with BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(byte[] imageData, int offset, int length). The image looses detail and looks terrible. I have a pile of these to pass on that look great on PC, Blackberries and Cellphones but terrible on Android (Best Buy logo for example).

[edit] Feature requests
[edit] KB-20071124-001
author: cbazza
Description: Provide a way to read any file from resource folder using its original filename. This would basically provide a similar facility as is available on JavaME. Maybe implement Class.getResourceAsStream in such a way to read files from /res/files with Strings and not integer ids.
Note: There is workaround, provided by http://www.anddev.org, see KB-20071124-001 for more details.
[edit] KB-20071124-002
author: cbazza
Description: Android.view.View should also have a rect specific way to postInvalidate. Right now you can only postInvalidate the whole screen. Better yet, get rid of postInvalidate completely and provide a proper implementation of invalidate that would work regardless of which thread it is called from. Just like JavaME.
[edit] KB-20071124-003
author: cbazza
Description: Provide a way not to combine View.invalidates together because union of a small top rectangle with a small bottom rectangle forces a large rectangle into the screen and that is slow. Games (and other) apps update small rects in different areas so it is best not to combine (do a union) of these rects.
[edit] KB-20071124-004
author: cbazza
Description: Provide a way for the app to request all pending invalidates to be processed immediately. Like what is available on JavaME with serviceRepaints. Basically the code following serviceRepaints can be guaranteed that the canvas bitmap would be up to date so getPixels/setPixels would be synchronized properly. Without this it is a nightmare to figure out on a multi-threaded app when things are ready for visual processing or not.
[edit] KB-20071124-005
author: cbazza
Description: Remove the few (6) Javax.microedition (JavaME) classes from android.jar. Basically provide a complete implementation of JavaME, or don't provide anything at all.
