Question

Can anyone suggest a way to create a small solid colored bitmap image from a hex value?

Answer 1

I think I may have the answer. Technically I believe it is much easier on Android than on a "pc". The last time I searched to create a bitmap (.bmp), I only found some Android functions and the BitmapFactory for non-android, which didn’t work for me.

Please look at this site: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html
This point could fit for you:

static Bitmap createBitmap(int[] colors, int offset, int stride, int width, int height, Bitmap.Config config)

Returns a immutable bitmap
with the specified width and height, with each pixel value set to the
corresponding value in the colors array.
