How to Change a Bitmap's Opacity

How to change a bitmap's opacity?

You could also try BitmapDrawable instead of Bitmap. If this is useful for you depends on the way you use the bitmap...

Edit

As a commenter asked how he can store the bitmap with alpha, here is some code:

// lets create a new empty bitmap
Bitmap newBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(originalBitmap.getWidth(), originalBitmap.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
// create a canvas where we can draw on
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(newBitmap);
// create a paint instance with alpha
Paint alphaPaint = new Paint();
alphaPaint.setAlpha(42);
// now lets draw using alphaPaint instance
canvas.drawBitmap(originalBitmap, 0, 0, alphaPaint);

// now lets store the bitmap to a file - the canvas has drawn on the newBitmap, so we can just store that one
// please add stream handling with try/catch blocks
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("/awesome/path/to/bitmap.png"));
newBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);

How to dynamically change the opacity of the bitmap in android

you can use Color.argb .. here is sample code.

canvas.drawColor(Color.argb(alpha, red, green, blue));

where alpha is opacity so you can use your progess value in alpha..

here aplha, red, green & blue must be 0 to 255

in your case you have to pass everytime same RGB just change Alpha value

Android change bitmap transparency on canvas

You can use a Paint object to modify the alpha of the bitmap to be drawn:

Paint alphaPaint = new Paint();
alphaPaint.setAlpha(alpha);
canvas.drawBitmap(heartSymb, 0, 0, alphaPaint);

Then you just have to modify alpha value and perform update periodically, maybe by using a Handler.

Changing the Opacity of a Bitmap image

Try this one from CodeProject - Change Opacity of Image in C#:

/// <summary>  
/// method for changing the opacity of an image  
/// </summary>  
/// <param name="image">image to set opacity on</param>  
/// <param name="opacity">percentage of opacity</param>  
/// <returns></returns>  
public Image SetImageOpacity(Image image, float opacity)  
{  
    try  
    {  
        //create a Bitmap the size of the image provided  
        Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(image.Width, image.Height);  

        //create a graphics object from the image  
        using (Graphics gfx = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)) {  

            //create a color matrix object  
            ColorMatrix matrix = new ColorMatrix();      

            //set the opacity  
            matrix.Matrix33 = opacity;  

            //create image attributes  
            ImageAttributes attributes = new ImageAttributes();      

            //set the color(opacity) of the image  
            attributes.SetColorMatrix(matrix, ColorMatrixFlag.Default, ColorAdjustType.Bitmap);    

            //now draw the image  
            gfx.DrawImage(image, new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height), 0, 0, image.Width, image.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, attributes);
        }
        return bmp;  
    }  
    catch (Exception ex)  
    { 
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);  
        return null;  
    }  
} 

How to draw a bitmap on a canvas, respecting alpha values of the bitmap?

Canvas.setXfermode(Xfermode xfermode). There are a number of Xfermodes you can choose.

How do I Draw a Bitmap with 50% Opacity?

Here is some code that adds an alpha channel to an image. If you want 50% alpha, you would set 128 as the alpha argument. Note this creates a copy of the bitmap...

    public static Bitmap AddAlpha(Bitmap currentImage, byte alpha)
    {
        Bitmap alphaImage;
        if (currentImage.PixelFormat != PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
        {
            alphaImage = new Bitmap(currentImage.Width, currentImage.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
            using (Graphics gr = Graphics.FromImage(tmpImage))
            {
                gr.DrawImage(currentImage, 0, 0, currentImage.Width, currentImage.Height);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            alphaImage = new Bitmap(currentImage);
        }

        BitmapData bmData = alphaImage.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, alphaImage.Width, alphaImage.Height),
            ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);

        const int bytesPerPixel = 4;
        const int alphaPixel = 3;
        int stride = bmData.Stride;

        unsafe
        {
            byte* pixel = (byte*)(void*)bmData.Scan0;

            for (int y = 0; y < currentImage.Height; y++)
            {
                int yPos = y * stride;
                for (int x = 0; x < currentImage.Width; x++)
                {
                    int pos = yPos + (x * bytesPerPixel); 
                    pixel[pos + alphaPixel] = alphaByte;
                }
            }
        }

        alphaImage.UnlockBits(bmData);

        return alphaImage;
    }
