I have a serialized class which I want to add a bitmap to, but Bitmap doesn't support serialize.
Instead I thought I'd use a parcel instead, but can't get it to work.
Here's some test code using local variables:
Parcel parcel;
Bitmap sourceBitmap;
Bitmap destinationBitmap;
parcel = Parcel.obtain();
sourceBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(200, 400, Config.ARGB_8888);
sourceBitmap.writeToParcel(parcel, 0);
destinationBitmap = Bitmap.CREATOR.createFromParcel(parcel);
I get the following error on the last line above:
09-06 21:18:20.463: DEBUG/skia(17716): Bitmap_createFromParcel unknown config: 0

you have to reset your parcel:
sourceBitmap.writeToParcel(parcel, 0);
parcel.setDataPosition(0);
destinationBitmap = Bitmap.CREATOR.createFromParcel(parcel);
