Crash when using HARDWARE bitmap

[diegor2]

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
            val url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ad/Gretag-Macbeth_ColorChecker.jpg"
            val stream = URL(url).openStream()
            val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(stream)
                .copy(Bitmap.Config.HARDWARE, false)

            Dali.create(this@MainActivity)
                .load(bitmap)
                .skipCache()
                .blurRadius(12)
                .into(image);
        }
    }
}

My only guess is, that renderscript is not compatible with the new HARDWARE flag? Again, I think this is a bug that has to be fixed on Google's side.

Yes, looks like renderscript doesn't support hardware bitmaps. As a workaround for #19 and #20 I'm copying the bitmap to a new one with ARGB_8888 config.

[patrickfav]

Do you have a suggestion how to continue with this issue?

[diegor2]

I think Dali could internally check if the bitmap is hardware type and create a software copy.
