I am trying to allow the user to specify the background color of a ninepatch that is part of my res/drawble directory. The modified ninepatch will then be set as the background image for my widget. I realize that you cannot change the contents of res/drawble so I have to write the image to temporary storage and then use setImageFromURI to point at the modified ninepatch.
I cannot figure out, however, how to save the image. I have the following code: Drawable bg = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.appwidget_bg); bg.mutate(); bg.setColorFilter( color, PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY ); What method can I now use to write this out? There do not seem to be any methods on Drawable that will persist an image. Is there a helper class that I need to use? I did look at BitmapFactory but, unless I misunderstood, it didn't seem to be the solution. Is there a preferred location to use for this kind of temporary file? Is there a better recommended way of doing what I am trying to do? -- Jake Colman -- Android Tinkerer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
