How to retrieve maximum supported Image/bitmap size of device lower than API14 in Android

The question is just simpel. I know there is a method to get the maximum supported image/bitmap size on device since API14 with

  canvas.getMaximumBitmapHeight();
  canvas.getMaximumBitmapWidth();

But how should we retrieve this maximum sizes in API lower than 14? Any idea? I haven´t found any method in the API.
