Create a file from drawable
<p>I have a large number of resources in my drawable folder.All are having big size more than 500KB. I have to load all these 25 images all at once in a srollView. As usual I ran out of memory. Is there any way to reduce the size of the image programmatically.</p>

<p>I got this function but it's parameter is a File and I don't know how to create a File from a drawable.</p>

<pre>

private Bitmap decodeFile(File f){
    Bitmap b = null;
    try {
        //Decode image size
        BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;

        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
        BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis, null, o);
        fis.close();

        int scale = 1;
        if (o.outHeight > IMAGE_MAX_SIZE || o.outWidth > IMAGE_MAX_SIZE) {
            scale = Math.pow(2, (int) Math.round(Math.log(IMAGE_MAX_SIZE / (double) Math.max(o.outHeight, o.outWidth)) / Math.log(0.5)));
        }

        //Decode with inSampleSize
        BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        o2.inSampleSize = scale;
        fis = new FileInputStream(f);
        b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis, null, o2);
        fis.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    }
    return b;
}
