Depends on how you define this. It makes a copy of the bitmap. The underlying Binder IPC mechanism uses shared memory to deliver data, but this isn't happening up at the Bitmap level so you have at least a couple copies of the data being made.
In general, please avoid sending anything except icon size bitmaps across processes.

All such questions should be posted on public forums, where I and others can see and answer them. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
