Answer 1

The solution is: you only need to copy the bitmap.

imageneViewer.setImageBitmap(lienzo.getDrawingCache().copy(Bitmap.Config.RGB_565, false));

This is probably causing the bitmap to be recycled:

v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false); // clear drawing cache

If you want the bitmap to hang around longer, then you should copy it.

Answer 3

This resolved my issues.

View drawingView = get_your_view_for_render;
drawingView.buildDrawingCache(true);
Bitmap bitmap = drawingView.getDrawingCache(true).copy(Config.RGB_565, false);
drawingView.destroyDrawingCache();
// bitmap is now OK for you to use without recycling errors.
