title: Android bitmap allocating 16 BYTES per pixel
body: <p>I've got a program which is loading resources from the resource file (by setting android:src="@drawable/image" in the layout file.</p>
  
  <p>The image is 800 x 1280 pixels. When the program runs it allocates 16,384,000 bytes on the heap which is 16 BYTES per pixel. </p>
  
  <p>I assumed that it should default to RGB8888 which only uses 4 bytes per pixel. Anyone know how I can change this to use less memory?</p>
