Comment on Scaling a CGImage by Davyd

MPR is right. The colorspace obtained through a Get method must not be released. Your code does not have the ownership of the object in this case.

Also, if there is an error in creating the context, the routine will quit in the middle. There will be a memory leak, because the bitmapData will not be freed.

Here is the correct handling:

if (context != NULL)
{
CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0 , 0, width, height), image);
CGImageRef imgRef = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context);
CGContextRelease(context);
}
free(bitmapData);

Comment on PNG compression in Android… (You have got to be kidding) by Kat

We’re having a slightly different problem… there’s no banding, but the colours are appearing completely wrong. We’re trying to get a sandy coloured png to appear, but it turns blue on android :/ and we can’t seem to find any fix for it, or even anyone with the same problem.

WOW, George, really?
There will be no supply, if the is no demand, man. And, you are creating demand.

Ben, maybe you should consider blacking out the app names that way you don’t inadvertently advertise them.

I agree. I wish that someone would man-up and clean up this mess.

Local caching of the loaded pages would be an amazing feature, so that they are reloaded immediately.

Searched all over the web trying to figure this out. Your code is fantastic! Thanks very much for posting this. It’s helped me out a ton!

@Richard – Minor correction: the name of the folder needs to be “drawable-nodpi” (you had an extra “-”).

BTW, thanks for sharing your 9-patch files – some good stuff there.

I found a great trick for my game. I use the drawable-no-dpi folder.
This way, nothing happens to my graphics.

I use photoshop only now and create plenty of nice 9 patch PNGs.

Feel free to drop by and grab them on my blog:
