White spaces left in coloring using QueueLinearFloodFillAlgorithm
<p>I am trying to implement flood fill algorithm in android. It was working very slow, so I tried queue linear flood fill algorithm according to this link</p>

<p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16968412/how-to-use-flood-fill-algorithm-in-android">How to use flood fill algorithm in Android?</a></p>

<p>It is working fast but the portion is not completely colored. There are some white spaces left on the edgeslike in this picture.</p>

I used the following code:</p>

<pre><code>public class QueueLinearFloodFiller {

    protected int fillColor = 0;
    protected int[] startColor = new int[] { 0, 0, 0 };
    protected boolean[] pixelsChecked;
    protected Queue&lt;FloodFillRange&gt; ranges;

    // Construct using an image and a copy will be made to fill into,
    // Construct with BufferedImage and flood fill will write directly to
    // provided BufferedImage
    public QueueLinearFloodFiller(Bitmap img) {
        copyImage(img);
    }

    public QueueLinearFloodFiller(Bitmap img, int targetColor, int newColor) {
        useImage(img);

        setFillColor(newColor);
        setTargetColor(targetColor);
    }

    public void setTargetColor(int targetColor) {
        startColor[0] = Color.red(targetColor);

<p>I tried increasing the tolerance value but some white spaces are still left and if i increase the value a lot then the whole image gets colored. 
Please help me!</p>
