Creating an empty bitmap and drawing though canvas in Android

by

This is probably simpler than you’re thinking:

int w = WIDTH_PX, h = HEIGHT_PX;

Bitmap.Config conf = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888; // see other conf types
Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, conf); // this creates a MUTABLE bitmap
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmp);

// ready to draw on that bitmap through that canvas

Here’s the official documentation on the topic: Custom Drawing
