Example

An example has been provided in example/index.android.js

Image dimensions

Due to the constrained system resources that mobile devices have, loading large images as a Bitmap can cause out of memory errors.

To prevent OOM errors, supply dimensions to the component. When you specify dimensions the component will automatically calculate the sample size and reduce the Bitmap size to the exact dimensions.

If not specified, the original image size will be loaded.
