Question

Answer 1

Instead, try getting your ImageView as a canvas to draw into.

ImageView CanvasView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.fashion_pic)

From here you can create your own Bitmap and re-draw it after a TouchEvent. The following snippet contains a necessary work-around for a bug in 2.1 (or 2.2, I can't remember):

public void redrawImage() {

    Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.fashion_pic);
    Bitmap proxy = Bitmap.createBitmap(bm.getWidth(), bm.getHeight(), Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas c = new Canvas(proxy);

    //Here, we draw the background image.
    c.drawBitmap(bm, new Matrix(), null);

    //Here, we draw the text where the user last touched.
    c.drawText("Fashion", someGlobalXvariable, someGlobalYvariable, somePaint);

    CanvasView.setImageBitmap(proxy);
}

Here, you have created a canvas which already has your picture as the background and paints text at an x and y variable. Now, just set an OnTouchListener:

CanvasView.setOnTouchListener( new OnTouchListener(){

    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent e) {

        someGlobalXvariable = e.getX();
        someGlobalYvariable = e.getY();
        redrawImage();
        return true;
    }
});

As you can see, the listener automatically updates your image when it is touched, and the text will follow the user's finger. Since you're using a Bitmap as your canvas, you can also add support for saving/loading an image if your app wants to have that kind of functionality.

Edit: It may be more performance-friendly if you move lines 1-3 from redrawImage() and place them elsewhere, setting those objects as global objects. I'll let you tinker with that.
