Thanks for the suggestion! However, saving the bitmap to a JPEG file was really just to illustrate the pixelation problem - I assumed there would be no quality loss with the quality parameter set to 100. What I'm actually doing is to draw the bitmap downloaded from Flickr onto a canvas in the onDraw method of my View class: Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG | Paint.FILTER_BITMAP_FLAG); canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, paint); Pixelation similar to that shown in my example pictures then occurs. Any idea why this would be the case? Note that bitmaps loaded from my project resources draw just fine using this approach; although if I downscale using the Bitmap.createScaledBitmap() method, a similar pixelation problem occurs. This problem was discussed e.g. here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2041207/android-quality-of-the-images-resized-in-runtime but none of the suggested solutions seem to improve the situation in my case. Thanks again for your suggestions, I really hope there is a solution to this issue.
