Hi all,

I'm starting to implement a lazy image loader for the listview in my
new project so I was gathering informations and came across Romain Guy
full featured implementation in the project Android Shelves :
http://code.google.com/p/shelves/source/browse/trunk/Shelves/src/org/curiouscreature/android/shelves/util/ImageUtilities.java

While reading I found this piece of code I cannot understand
(FLAG_DECODE_BITMAP_WITH_SKIA is set to false above in the code) :

                    if (FLAG_DECODE_BITMAP_WITH_SKIA) {
                        expiring.bitmap =
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
                    } else {
                        final ByteArrayOutputStream dataStream = new
ByteArrayOutputStream();
                        out = new BufferedOutputStream(dataStream,
IOUtilities.IO_BUFFER_SIZE);
                        IOUtilities.copy(in, out);
                        out.flush();

                        final byte[] data = dataStream.toByteArray();
                        expiring.bitmap =
BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
                    }

I think SKIA is the Image library written by google, at least used by
google.

What I don't get is why is he doing a test here and what is the
difference between the two types of loading ? They both are decoded by
BitmapFactory. Why would the result be different ?

Any insight ?
