There was a function in the previous project to convert the view into a bitmap and save it locally or share it with a third party. The methods used before were
view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
view.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap bitmap = view.getDrawingCache();
view.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
After the upgrade, these all show "is deprecated". I went to stackoverflow and found the following method to replace it.
public Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View view)
{
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getWidth(), view.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
view.draw(canvas);
return bitmap;
}
public Bitmap getBitmapFromView(View view,int defaultColor)
{
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(view.getWidth(), view.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
canvas.drawColor(defaultColor);
view.draw(canvas);
return bitmap;
}
//Example
ConstraintLayout root = findViewById(R.id.root);
getBitmapFromView(root)
getBitmapFromView(root,Color.WHITE)
