Unable to display images too large

[beta]

A large image with size 427 * 7200 could not be displayed, and a warning message was thrown out:

OpenGLRenderer: Bitmap too large to be uploaded into a texture (427x7200, max=4096x4096)

Images in tweets are displayed into ImageViews by Picasso. Due to limit of OpenGL, the size of a texture could not go over a limited value (which depends on the device, e.g. 4096 on Nexus 5).

To solve this bug a compressor should be implemented to limit the size of images to be displayed.

Romain Guy's this answer offers some useful information on the minimum texture size limit.

It turns out that the solution is quite easy: just to use fit() when loading an image using Picasso and the image will be resized to the dimensions of the target ImageView. centerCrop() should also be used to avoid stretching.

However the bug still exists with FrescoImageViewer as mentioned in stfalcon-studio/FrescoImageViewer#3. Maybe I should rewrite the image viewer.

Hi, @beta !
Here is no need to rewrite the image viewer for this purpose. Here is the trick:

Thank you @troy379! That works like a charm.
