[android-developers] Re: Image scaling on Sony Ericsson Xperia phone
Hi Mr Johan, I am developing a chat app for my final year project. So what I am doing is that the image on the sender's phone is being scaled down to 20 by 20 sp. When it reaches the destination i want that image to be scaled up to 100 by 100 sp. I had downloaded the code provided from https://developer.sonymobile.com/2011/06/27/how-to-scale-images-for-your-android-application/ But unfortunately the scaling doesn't work. The images I am saving to the database are very very blurry. I am using the fit method, not crop. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have been trying to fix my problem for the past 3 weeks but its not working. Please help me. Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Hi, I am glad you liked the article, Andreas has done a really great job. I will forward your thoughts into the customer service organisation. Thanks for letting us know.

I promise you,SonyEricsson: on the day you develop and release some software update which allows to scale fonts bigger on aSonyEricsson Neo phone, I'll buy it. For now I'll just read articles about Android development and use SDK/VirtualBox Android emulators. Please,SonyEricsson(and other developers, too), give a helping hand to visually impaired and not-so-young people. Good luck to all developers, Martin and some other visually impaired people.
