Displaying thumbnails in a grid

A thumbnail is a mini version of the full image. Therefore, we don't need to load a full-sized texture bitmap. For the sake of simplicity, let's just always sample it down by 4 (to 1/16th the original size).

The thumbnail image

In the Image class, the show method loads the full texture. Let's write a similar showThumbnail method that uses a smaller sampling. In the Image class, add the following code:

    public void showThumbnail(CardboardView cardboardView, Plane thumb) {
        loadTexture(cardboardView, 4);
        BorderMaterial material = (BorderMaterial) thumb.getMaterial();
        material.setTexture(textureHandle);

        calcScale(thumb);
    }
