Suggestion: JPG Texture

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

new Texture("somefile.jpg");

What is the expected output?

I would like JPG files to be accepted for textures.

What do you see instead?

Nothing. The texture is not displayed.

What version of Rokon are you using?

Trunk.

On which version of Android are you experiencing this?

Android 2.1.

Please provide any additional information below.

Currently, the Texture object seems to only work with certain types of PNG 
files (with RGB and particular colour profiles). Android itself also supports 
JPG drawables, however, as well as indexed PNG, though in ROKON these aren't 
displayed when loaded in Textures.

I've got around to testing this - and it appears to work fine with JPG with no 
modifications, atleast on my N1

What device does this not work?

Perhaps not - it seems like an intermittent fault ... Will look into it now

I see it now.

The JPG is being loaded as RGB, and is being copied onto an ARGB texture. So if 
it doesn't crash, it loads skewed. Hmmmmmm

Solved, it'll be in the next trunk update.

Solution is to load the textures onto a temporary bitmap, create a new bitmap 
of same dimensions - but ARGB_8888. Copy the temporary to the new, destroy the 
temporary, and use this.

See r359
