Answer 1

I just solved my own question.

In this line, canvas.drawBitmap(puzzle.get(cnt), srcRect, dstRect,null); within each of the for-loop which i am using it to draw the bitmap onto the canvas, i need to cast the each item in the ArrayList (puzzle) to Bitmap. Only then will the image get display.

I thought that if the ArrayList is definite as such, ArrayList<Bitmap> puzzle = new ArrayList<Bitmap>(); each items in the ArrayList would be of Bitmap type. But isn't that always true?
