Tiling a Bitmap on a Canvas

Question

I would like to create a \'graph paper\' look to the Bitmap I am drawing via a Canvas, and trying to figure out the best way to do this.

I can\'t pass a source Bitmap co

Answer 1

You have two easy solutions:

• Either use a BitmapDrawable, but instead of extracting the Bitmap, just call BitmapDrawable.draw(Canvas). Don't forget to set the drawable's bounds to fill your drawing area.
• Create a Paint with a BitmapShader and draw a rectangle with it (this is basically what BitmapDrawable does).
