In this blog, we will learn to split a single image into parts(just like sprite for HTML) in your android application.
If you don’t know what exactly sprite image is here is what “w3schools” definition :
An image sprite is a collection of images put into a single image. A web page with many images can take a long time to load and generates multiple server requests. Using image sprites will reduce the number of server requests and save bandwidth. -https://www.w3schools.com

activity_main.xml

And in our MainActivity.java file, I just called the ImageHelper function like this :
And it is done.
Just for your reference what we achieved through this code block :
Original Sprite Image :
Image in our app :
See it’s easy and simple.
