Question

I have an app where I take multiple photos using the Camera and need to display the taken photos as thumbnails after taking.

Is it possible to load a thumbnail of a large photo without having to load the full image?

Currently i’m thinking of saving 2 versions of a photo when its taken with the camera, but just wondered if there is a way to load a thumbnail of an image from a file to save me having to have 2 versions of the file..

Thanks

No you can’t do this automagically, as you said you have two options :

• Open full-size and generate thumbnail (that you could keep in a cache)
• Open a Pre-saved thumbnail (that you could get from a cache)

Depending on what you want to do, there are several ways and open source projects to do this.
